George Karl Comments on Book, Phil Jackson, Carmelo Anthony and More
- Updated: December 28, 2016
Despite being out of a job after the Sacramento Kings fired him in April, George Karl was thrust into the spotlight recently with the upcoming release of his memoir, Furious George: My Forty Years Surviving NBA Divas, Clueless GMs and Poor Shot Selection.
In an interview with New York magazine’s David Marchese, Karl said the likelihood of him coaching in the NBA again is slim after the revelations in his book, but he doesn’t regret airing his opinions: “No question. But I think there’s too much spin going on with the game, especially from people who don’t really know anything. So I wanted to tell the truth about what goes on.”
In the book, Karl focused some of his scorn on Carmelo Anthony, whom he coached on the Denver Nuggets. He called the nine-time All-Star “a user of people” who is “addicted to the spotlight and very unhappy when he had to share it,” according to the New York Post’s Marc Berman.
