Anyone who dares question the validity of the triangle offense in The Big Apple shall face the wrath of New York Knicks team president Phil Jackson.

Jackson took the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers to multiple NBA titles with the triangle and has no intention to turn away from it now.

"That's what I was brought here for," Jackson said when asked if the triangle would remain an integral part of the Knicks' future during the team's exit interviews Thursday.

For those who still don't believe it's worth the hassle, Jackson has two handfuls worth of reasons, as well as an extra on his toe, to convince you otherwise.

"Who are these people? Do they have 11 championships," Jackson said.

"The Zen Master" couldn't maintain his composure on this occasion, as it sounds as though the constant doubt and criticism surrounding the offense was simply not worth his time to listen to.
