This Day in Knicks History: Leon Rose is named Team President

The Knicks formally introduced Leon Rose as team president exactly four years ago with none of the fanfare that accompanied other recent front-office changes within the organization, signaling the start of an era that has seen New York learn from past mistakes.

Though we already knew at the time that Rose was nothing but guaranteed to take over the presidential position, the team made things official on Monday, Mar. 2, 2020, with a relatively standard press release with a minimal format that has been in use for years on end up to this day.
