into a whole story.
He was asked about it.
The Knicks put out a statement saying, you know, we think Kirk got hacked and we're actively working with Twitter on an investigation.
It was the most absurd thing.
So that you could point to three, four, five of those.
And it was really, there was the density of those ridiculous stories.
You almost, you just smacked your forehead.
But now, Leon Rose, here we are, several years into his presidency, there's a competence.
And that, the clowns, the circus stuff, the buffoonery, it's not there anymore.
And part of me wonders, Zach, and I'm curious to hear what you think.
Leon Rose had a front row seat to this for 20 years as an agent.
He always had a client in New York.
He was always doing his job, which meant talking to the front office, trying to figure out what was going on.
I just wonder if that experience, seeing all the lows and the crazy stuff, if that informed the way he goes about his job as team president.
