Phil Jackson mum about Carmelo Anthony, state of Knicks

Phil Jackson broke his silence with the media covering the Knicks, but he wouldn't talk about Carmelo Anthony or the state of the team.

During a chance encounter in the hallway on the way to the Knicks' locker room, reporters stopped to see if Jackson would speak to the New York media for the first time since Sept. 23.

"There's no reason to stop," Jackson said.

He then proceeded to talk about some current events.

"The weather is nice," Jackson said. "The inauguration is happening, much to everyone's dismay ... What else do you want to talk about?"

When a reporter mentioned Anthony, Jackson declined to comment. He met with Anthony on Tuesday to talk about his future with the Knicks.

Jackson then was asked about the team's performance.

"We got a win last night, right? That's great," he said before disappearing into a Garden suite.
