Chris Jent once upon a time helped LeBron James rework his jump shot. The same goes for John Collins. He could now potentially do the same for Mikal Bridges—and unlock the best possible version of the 28-year-old in the process.
Jent is officially leaving the Charlotte Hornets staff and joining the New York Knicks as their associate head coach. He previously worked with Mike Brown for nearly a half-decade with the Cleveland Cavaliers, during which time he became known as LeBron’s shot tutor.
Anyone who watched the Knicks last year will remember that Bridges began the season with a completely reworked, awkward-looking jump shot.
