Unfortunately, New York Knicks fans are used to the phrase “hope springs eternal.”
That visual of grinning executives, standing next to their new hire, holding a basketball, as the cameras snap, has become a ritual akin to traveling to the local stationary store in the hopes of winning the lottery.
But maybe this time will be different, says the optimist inside of me. David Fizdale came as advertised. He was charismatic, direct, humble and worked the room like few coaches/executives know how to do.
Between the press conference at Madison Square Garden and various interviews, there was a lot said by the trio of Fizdale, Steve Mills, and Scott Perry.
