I was fortunate to spend two years with Ioannis Papapetrou. He was not only a dedicated talented team player but a wonderful person off the court. A total credit to basketball in Greece . Good luck Pap, much happiness!
Ioannis Papapetrou announced his retirement from basketball. Congratulations on a great career and we wish you all the best in your new chapter!
Want to wish Bar and Harrison a wonderful journey with matrimony. The Johnnies wish you much love, health, and happiness!
As our summer practices come to a close, it's quite evident that the strength of this team is their work ethic, character, and humility. What an exceptional group of young men . Every year keeps getting better!
Big time game by @Djenkinss5 with Detroit at Vegas summer league. No surprise, Winner!
Who knows how good a team will be in the summer, but what a special group of young men. Working hard to reach their potential. Total sponges wanting to soak things in to become better. Pure joy to coach!
History cruise for the Johnnies: Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, Freedom Tower and midtown Manhattan. Players from Guana, Nigeria, Congo, Portugal, Sweden, Greece, and the Bronx 😂
Congrats Tom, so deserving. Appreciate all that you did for so many different sports and people!
Congrats to Kadary and RJ on signing two way deals. Both are terrific young men with a great future.
Someone will get a great one with Kadary Richmond. You will be shocked how good he is on and off the court!
First practice in the books. Hard working group that excels athletically and shoots the lights out. Thank God 🙏🏻😂
Excited to see my nephew Rob Minardi in action with proceeds benefiting Tunnels to Towers. Join us at bit.ly/4mQizW7
So many times I'm asked who’s the GOAT. I try and stay away from that, but I will say if it's one game or one series, who’s the one player I don't want to plan against, then the answer becomes easy -MJ! Also many will be surprised at this, but the most underrated star of all time…
Lot is being made of poor 3 pt shooting from the Thunder as well as SGA not having an assist, but 34/38 from the foul line is the reason they won. Excellent job by the coach gambling with SGA on bench. Those few minutes were crucial. Great semi old coach 😂-in Rick Carlisle and…
This game tonight will be so fascinating to watch. They loaded up on SGA, Thunder now have to spread and create cutting lanes to take help defense away. Indiana's game plans have been flawless. They will keep the heat on SGA and he will have to free up his teammates. Can't wait.
I obviously coached our rookie of the year, Mark Jackson. I believe he spent 18 years in the NBA as a player. Great coach with the Warriors and one of the brightest minds I've coached. Would love to see the Knicks bring Mark Jackson home!!
Major congrats to the entire @nyknicks organization. The players and coaches were awesome. Lot of fun watching young men give every ounce they have in them. Next year we go further!
It's interesting, in my 40+ years I've never shown clips to my teams of NBA defense. Offensive sets and individual moves, but never defense. Until this past season. We watched the Thunder at least 3x a week. Their switching, loading up to help, and rotations are awesome. And they…
