The New York Knicks are undergoing a full makeover, and they’re serious this time.
On Wednesday, the team put out a statement announcing the hire of William Wesley as not only an executive vice president but a “senior basketball advisor.”
Known as “World Wide Wes,” the 55-year-old Wesley is truly an enigma. Prior to the Knicks hiring him, he was best known as a consultant for Creative Artists Agency (CAA), which has represented everyone from LeBron James to Leonardo DiCaprio. Aside from that, the man is practically a mystery.
But that doesn’t bother Leon Rose, the Knicks’ new president of basketball operations and James’ former agent.
