00:00Leon Rose turned the Knicks from the biggest joke in the NBA to the toast of the NBA.
00:07As the architect of this team, Leon Rose, basically from scratch,
00:14took the Knicks from the depths of sports hell, a laughingstock, an embarrassment,
00:20the worst franchise in the NBA, the joke of the NBA.
00:24And Leon Rose turned this team into a squad that is now four wins away from a championship.
00:33And it wasn't done overnight, but brick by brick by brick, Leon Rose created what we see in front of
00:41us,
00:42a team that has steamrolled their way to the finals, putting up historic numbers.
00:47This is Leon Rose's baby. This is his doing.
00:51And that's why Leon was so emotional.
00:54If you saw the video after the Knicks clinched and are now going to the finals,
00:59the man was crying, just like we were all crying, because that's how invested he is in this team.
01:05And whether it was hiring Tibbs, who gave the Knicks legitimacy, he turned the program around,
01:11he got them to where they were consistent and no longer a joke.
01:15Obviously, bringing in Brunson was an amazing reason and big part of why this team is where they are now.
01:21Trading for Cat, trading for Bridges, trading for Josh Hart, trading for Ananobi, all these things.
01:29And most of the moves I just mentioned were not exactly universally applauded.
01:36Firing Tibbs, hiring Mike Brown, but in Leon Rose we trust.
01:42From where the Knicks were to where they are now, the job that Leon Rose has done is the greatest
01:48job of any member of a front office has done in this town's history.
01:53This long sports history that we have in the greatest city in the world, the greatest sports town in the
01:58world.
01:59Leon Rose and the job he has done as the architect of the Knicks.
02:04This is the greatest I've ever seen.
