Knicks hire Obama’s brother-in-law for front-office post

The construction continues — and not just on every road you use daily.

The Knicks front office is adding another piece as Bucks executive Craig Robinson, the brother-in-law of former President Barack Obama, will be joining the team to serve “multiple roles” in the organization, league sources confirmed.

In the wake of the ouster of former team president Phil Jackson, the Knicks have named Steve Mills president and hired Scott Perry from the Kings as general manager. Additionally, former player Gerald Madkins, who held executive positions with four other teams, has agreed to join the Knicks as assistant general manager.
