Being able to trust your GM makes life as a sports fan more bearable
Briefly

Leon Rose, president of the New York Knicks, has successfully built trust with the team's fan base through strategic decisions despite past missteps. His tenure, likened to a 50/40/90 shooting percentage, highlights his ability to make impactful moves, including acquiring two starting All-Stars. While fans largely support Rose, there remain mixed feelings about head coach Tom Thibodeau. As the team continues to evolve, and with owner James L. Dolan's influence, patience remains key for fans looking for sustained success.
If you believe in sports as a civic trust then there's no more essential relationship than the one between a team's general manager and the fan base.
Leon Rose has made missteps, but he's a 50/40/90 guy in terms of hits and misses, showing his successful tenure as Knicks president.
Rose has been patient in waiting for the right times to strike, and much of that happened in the getting-to-know-you phase.
For now, it's hard to find a Knicks fan who doesn't have full trust in Rose despite concerns around Tom Thibodeau's coaching.
