Kenny Atkinson knows how lucky he is. He’s coming off a surprising playoff run and got a two-year contract extension. In July, of course, he got the best gift a coach could get, two superstars to coach at the peak of their careers.
And Kenny being Kenny, then he got nervous.
“Oh wow. How am I going to coach these guys? This is going to be different …” he told the Post’s Mike Vaccaro.
But he is clearly buoyed by his history as a player and a coach.
“I always felt like I got along with every guy on every team I’ve been a part with, whether you’re the 17th guy or the first guy,” Atkinson told Vaccaro.
