Phil Jackson New York Knicks Rumors: Zen Master Says Lack of Effort Made The Basketball Gods Cry [PHOTO]

New York Knicks president Phil Jackson has seen a lot in his five-plus decades in the NBA, but the Knicks lack of effort in Sunday's blow-out loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers left the Zen Master absolutely shocked.

Granted, Jackson has been gutting the roster all season in order to free up maximum cap space in order to rebuild the franchise through free agency. That, coupled with the loss of star forward Carmelo Anthony to season-ending knee surgery, means the Knicks weren't exactly trotting out an all-star team this weekend.

However, the team's 18-point loss (101-83) was still irredeemably ugly. It extended their losing streak to seven games, and the Knicks sit alone in the basement of the NBA with a league-worst 10-45 record. Barring an unforeseen hot streak, this will be the worst season in the franchise's history.
