Anthony then took to Instagram to respond, and did so in perfect fashion, by laughing off Jackson’s comments with this great post.

The Knicks, from top to bottom, are a mess. There’s dissension between players and the front office, with other players going to bat against Jackson. Not many organizations are run this way.
