On this day last year, the New York Knicks officially announced the hiring of Leon Rose as team president, replacing Steve Mills.
While there were reservations of his hiring with some quarters hoped that the Knicks could have waited for Masai Ujiri, the architect of the Denver Nuggets’ emergence in the West and Toronto Raptors’ first NBA championship, to become available, Rose has exceeded expectations on his first year on the job.
Beginner’s Luck?
Since his hiring, Rose has made himself scarce and let the Knicks’ moves and play on the court do the talking.
