Jackson, one of the most revered coaches in NBA history, who had played on the Knicks during their only two championships, was seen as a savior of the franchise, a leader to instill a culture and end the team's constant dysfunction.
Instead, over three years, the Knicks struggled mightily, going 80-166 during Jackson's three full seasons in charge.
Jackson's Knicks tenure will be known for a franchise-worst regular-season record, squabbles with star players, a steadfast belief in an outdated offense, and near constant roster turnover.
Here's how it all went downhill.
