Knicks Feel Their Black Front Office Helps in Free Agency

Knicks president Steve Mills indicated having a pioneering predominately black front office will help the team in the upcoming free agency.

“The African American front office, that doesn’t get lost on guys,” Mills said in an article published Tuesday on The Undefeated, which deals with race issues.

After getting the job when Phil Jackson got canned, Mills hired GM Scott Perry, who is black, and player developmental director, Craig Robinson, the brother of Michelle Obama. Also hired after Jackson’s firing was director of player personnel, Harold Ellis and college scouting director Gerald Madkins. Both are African-American.

“We are going to have the opportunity to meet with the guys we want to meet with,” Mills said.

Mills noted in 2017 he found some players didn’t want to meet with the Knicks before the draft when the franchise was run by Jackson.

“It was frustrating for me because I had never been in a situation where, especially rookies, there was a narrative amongst the young guys that they didn’t want to come play for the Knicks,” Mills told The Undefeated. “They didn’t want to meet with us in Chicago. I said, ‘We’ve got to change that and start with the young guys.”

Last year, The Undefeated ran a piece on Mills and Perry, calling them the first-ever African-American NBA president-GM tandem.

The website went further Tuesday to anoint Mills-Perry-David Fizdale as representing the first trio of president-GM-coach. Mills hired Fizdale over top candidate Mike Budenholzer, who went on to win Coach of the Year Monday night with the Bucks. The Knicks finished a league-worst 17-65.

“When I look back on my life, I will have an opportunity to say, ‘I had an opportunity to be a part of the first time three African-American men have held these positions with a sports franchise,’ ” Fizdale said. “I can always say I did that.”
