Yeah Pat Riley!
I dont think u are old enough for a conversation about the master coach Red Holzman.
Pat Riley found out NBA teams had the Knicks on the black-list when it came to trading players.
The last Knicks player that had the most minute played in the NBA, were a guy name Anthony Mason.
Pat Riley found Anthony Mason and John Starks in the CBA League.
The two CBA League players outstanding performance were the main reason the Knicks went to the FINALS.
Anthony Mason 40 plus minute playing-time reduce Charles Oakley playing-time to 12 minutes per game.
Why did the Knicks trade Anthony Mason the year after making the FINALS, for a career injured Larry Johnson???
Did u know Larry Johnson rarely received any playingtime in the JVG rotation, until Oakley were traded.
Red Holzman #1, Pat Riley #2, now 2014 Phil Jackson #3 to take the NY Knicks to new heights...
Phil Jackson confidence in hiring a young headcoach Derek Fisher, who did well improving so many young teammates talents throughout his 17 yr career as a player on 4 different teams.
Phil Jackson acknowledge if trading Knicks veteran players become difficult, he could rely on a great coaching-staff to give the Knicks young players enough confidence to fore-fill a void in the rotation to keep the Knicks playing above .500 throughout any season.
