NEW YORK — On Nov. 3, 2025, Carmelo Anthony publicly accused Phil Jackson of shifting responsibility for the New York Knicks’ struggles onto him, declaring he was “taking those bullets.”
Anthony’s remarks, reported by the New York Post, focused on what he described as an unfair narrative that held him accountable for the franchise’s problems while Jackson escaped blame.
The former Knicks star did not specify particular incidents but repeated that scrutiny aimed at him should have been directed elsewhere. Jackson has not commented on Anthony’s statements.
