After months of silence, Knicks president Leon Rose surfaces

On his first official day as president of the Knicks Leon Rose made his way along the sidelines of the court at Madison Square Garden, saying hello and shaking hands with media members, a polite introduction in his new role.

And then he went silent, refusing to answer questions about anything. The Knicks were the only NBA team to not make any member of the organization available since March 11, when the season was suspended and Rose had not spoken publicly at all as the questions about the Knicks mounted.

But he finally surfaced in an interview Wednesday on MSG Network, spending a half hour answering questions from Mike Breen on a wide array of topics.
