Mark Jackson is a sentimental choice of Knicks fans and perhaps some members of the front office, too. Knicks general manager Steve Mills and assistant GM Allan Houston both made a big show of greeting the then-Warriors coach on the court moments before Golden State played the Knicks at the Garden this season. During a timeout, the Knicks played a video tribute to their former point guard, which is something they had never done for him previously even though he had returned to MSG as both a broadcaster and head coach since he retired as a player.
