Reaction roundup: Knicks superfan Spike Lee celebrates Phil Jackson's departure

The New York Knicks and team president Phil Jackson announced Wednesday morning that they mutually agreed to part ways, and it didn't take long for reactions from followers of the team to start pouring in.

The consensus? Knicks superfan Spike Lee seemed to sum it up pretty well.

Of course, Lee wasn't the only one to weigh in on the news, as several other prominent figures across the sports world -- including ESPN's resident Jackson critic, Stephen A. Smith -- offered their takes.

To say the least, Jackson's time as New York's president was tumultuous. The Knicks completed a disappointing 31-51 season in April and missed the playoffs for the fourth straight year. They were 80-166 in Jackson's three full seasons as team president, losing at least 50 games in each of them.
