New York Knicks forward Kristaps Porzingis fired a subtle shot against Phil Jackson in their feud over the missed exit meeting.

Phil Jackson was his usual incompetent self when talking about the possibility of trading superstar Kristaps Porzingis. Jackson implied to Al Trautwig that the franchise might be better off in the future without their 21-year-old budding superstar. Finally, the unicorn is firing back.

Porzingis went full millennial with his subtle shot at the Zen Master when he “liked” a tweet criticizing the team president. The tweet was from famous Jackson critic, New York Daily News reporter Frank Isola.

Isola retweeted another tweet from Porzingis showing himself working out. It says,”While Phil and the Knicks continue to obsess over a missed exit meeting….”

Via Twitter @TommyBeer:

Porzingis is in Latvia preparing for the European Championships. He hasn’t spoken to Jackson or anyone in the organization since leaving for home.

This latest incident won’t do anything to help heal the relationship between the two sides.
