Mark Jackson hasn't even been an assistant coach before- he's looked like a real rookie coaching the Warriors so far- sure he could develop into a good coach, but he wouldn't have gotten the chance here in NY as fans have so little patience it's beyond a joke (remember people here were declaring the Knicks a bust after THREE games)- there is no way in hell he would have survived as long as D'Antoni. How was he the perfect fit for the Knicks when he had no experience as a coach and we had teams that sucked for years?

Really? Don't you MJax fans keep telling us he is great defensive minded coach? How does Avi Lee and the HHR fit that description?
I'm not a fan of his. I hate the dude lol....I'm just giving props. Never said anything about defense. I hate David Lee too lol.
Its just good to see the guy succeed.
Golden "Nate" had some good games here.
He is best off the bench and let him off his leash and let him fly.
IN the context of a team effort requireing some element of communication and execution of assignments he was awful.
If he can concentrate and integrate within the team, then he is an asset.
I think he'd do very well overseas and get paid well. He is an attraction worthy of admission.
Good for Nate. He is in the prime of his career right (age 27) now assuming his head is on right.
