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.
