Dwyane Wade knows the secret to ex-agent Leon Rose’s Knicks success
NY Post
LAS VEGAS — After seeing Leon Rose negotiate mega contracts for all his friends, Dwyane Wade is not surprised that the former agent is succeeding as Knicks president.
“Not at all. You see how much money he helps people get?” Wade, the Hall of Fame player, said. “He’s been incredible there. It feels like New York, what they’re building out there, it has a feeling of New York. So that feels good for them. … They’ve been doing an incredible job of finding the DNA that fans want to root for. And I think that’s the most important thing for certain markets.”
Rose represented all the “Banana Boat buddies” — Wade, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James — before leaving Creative Artists Agency to run the Knicks.
In his six seasons at the top of the front office, Rose helped transform the Knicks from a dysfunctional laughingstock into a legitimate contender for the NBA Finals.
With a win Sunday against the Spurs, the Knicks would win the NBA Cup and the franchise’s first title — of any kind — since 1973.
Still, Rose is camera shy and doesn’t speak publicly about his success or anything else.
