But what about Jeanie?
The Knicks president may be hell bent on marrying Lakers president Jeanie Buss one day, but he told the New York Post that he divorced the Lakers organization some time ago.
insist they have closed the book on their former team.
“It’s been four years [since I was there], so I’ve kind of just divorced myself from them,’’ Jackson told The Post in his first public comments since his Jan. 10 mea culpa press conference following the Knicks’ fire sale of J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert.
Jackson coached Fisher and the Lakers to three consecutive NBA titles from 2000-02, and back-to-back championships in 2009-10.
Sunday will mark the first time the Lakers have been to the Garden since Jackson and Fisher have been in the fold.
Fisher said he had no communication with the Lakers and general manager Mitch Kupchak about their vacant coaching opening before he took the Knicks job.
