Knicks introduce Phil Jackson as team president

AP

NEW YORK -- Phil Jackson has returned to the New York Knicks as their team president.

The Knicks announced Jackson's hiring Tuesday at a news conference in the lobby of Madison Square Garden, where a giant sign reading "Welcome Home Phil" was overhead and shirts with the No. 18 Jackson wore as a player lined the racks in the merchandise store.

Jackson signed a five-year contract and said he will spend significant time in New York.

"This is the best place to play basketball," Jackson said.
