Jeff Hornacek could not last through the Knicks multiple front offices and rebuilds, but in speaking out about his time in New York for the first time he expressed no regrets and no hard feelings.
Appearing on ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski's Woj Pod he looked back at his time trying to balance his own plans and those of since-fired team president Phil Jackson.
"First of all, I thought it was a great experience," Hornacek said. "As a player, I loved to play in New York. There was one point in my career when I was playing for the 76ers, I thought I was getting traded to New York. And so I was pretty excited about coming here. Obviously I played against Phil in the Finals as a coach. And just the atmosphere around the Garden, I think the fans are really knowledgeable here. I can remember those years when we came here as an opponent and they actually cheered and appreciated good basketball."
