Dawn Staley drops Knicks bombshell that nobody thought would actually happen

The New York Knicks' coaching search lasted for weeks and was full of rejections, twists, and turns before they hired Mike Brown. New York interviewed several candidates, including Mark Jackson and Taylor Jenkins, with one name standing out more than the others. Women's basketball legend and current South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley also interviewed for the job.

Even after the news broke that the Knicks interviewed Staley, many people believed that even if the Knicks offered her the job, there was no way she'd leave South Carolina. She proved that wrong on the "Post Moves" podcast with Candace Parker and Aliyah Boston, saying that she would've taken the job.
