IShart...Hart, Donte. There are half a dozen guys as good or better than each, in the role player category. But they specifically targeted these guys. Who drives that?

of course there is a theme and common characteristic of role players selfless, tough, hard working...I clear direction I think is shared from the FO, to the Coach, to the players...not sure one person can specifically get all the credit since it seems everyone has there niche of helping the team.

Dolan hiring Leon
Leon hiring WWW
Leon bringing hin his buddy and tough minded detail oriented coach Thibs
Thibs building his staff and Leon knowing what players thibs likes and can thrive in his system and under his coaching.
Having a selfless leader being your best player in Brunson
Acquiring players that share the same belief and fit into there roles and culture.

its just a trickle down. seems like a family affair.

It probably is. It's interesting to me this is working. Generally it's one person with the main vision and then those who support it, where the Knicks are very tight lipped and who actually does what not clear with Leon's media silence

Who was it Thibs called his backup QB, Obi? Now he’s got someone new to take a few practice snaps.

good regular season coach. one of the best you could ask for.

Terrible playoff coach. and that will forever be his legacy until proven otherwise. Kind of same reputation as Doc Rivers.

He is the coach before the guy to get us over the hump.

While I tend to agree with this take... I just want to ask which series should he have won that he lost as a direct result of his coaching?

Also funny coincidence that Doc's only title came with Thibs as his assistant.

the man took us to the 2nd round and we took a finals team to 6 games with a hobbled randle. i am pretty sure we exceeded expectations, did we not lol

and comparing him to doc rivers is wild. that man is a known choker with loaded teams. when has thibs had a talentful team and choked?

Kerr, Nash and Phill Jackson will like to have a word. Their systems and offensive coaching is what changed the game and how players defend.

I looked up Monica's playing career and she was a really solid player at Georgetown. Starter and double figure scorer her junior and senior years, and all Big East as a junior. Her last two years, she shot .353 and .341 on 5.7 and 6.0 three point attempts per game.

Yeah man Monica could hoop

Watch on YouTube

Long arms, nice touch from outside.

Monica has such a bright future ahead as a hoops analyst. Glad to see that ESPN realizes it too. She should be getting more national TV games honestly

That is not true whatsoever

What is true is some coaches excel on one end of the floor more than the other

And David Fizdale excelled at neither end
