Knicks fans have one clear beef with the The Post's Mount Postmore selections
The Post kicked off its 15-part Most Postmore series Wednesday, starting with our selections for the Knicks.
And as you'd expect with one of the most passionate fan bases in sports, the list elicited a range of reactions.
The biggest gripe in response to the list — which featured Patrick Ewing, Jalen Brunson, Walt Frazier and Willis Reed — was the inclusion of Brunson.
Despite his tremendous output since arriving at MSG, Brunson has only spent three seasons in New York and hasn't reached the Finals, which appears to be the most common argument against No. 11.

North to South, he's one of the fastest centers. In fact, he tested the fastest at the combine. He's a very good screen center, roller and vertical lob threat. 'We think in due time, not next year, but in, you know, you can squint in two years from now, you can see him with the ability to shoot some threes. He's got a really, really good touch. He's so thirsty to learn; he's super, super coachable. He understands the areas he has to get better at. He's very, very motivated to be really, really good.'

Josh Hart Has Hilarious Reaction to Knicks Head Coaching News
Josh Hart Has Hilarious Reaction to Knicks Head Coaching News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks shocked many when they decided to move on from Tom Thibodeau following the team's elimination to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. They will now have one of the top coaching vacancies in the NBA. Advertisement Thibodeau brought a lot of success to the Knicks during his time there. In five seasons with the team, the head coach managed to reach the NBA Playoffs in four of them. Thibodeau was also responsible for getting New York to their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance is 2000, falling short of their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999 by two wins. Leon Rose and the organization did not deem this to be enough. Citing a desire to be better-aligned with their championship dreams, the Knicks clearly did not believe Thibodeau would be the man to get them to the promised land. New York has looked in several directions ever since. Advertisement One of those directions involved retired coach Jay Wright. The Villanova players on the Knicks would be very familiar with Wright considering he served as the head coach for the school during their time there.

Begley wrote, "With regard to reports/suggestions of Jay Wright as a Knick coaching candidate, yes, team president Leon Rose & Wright have a close relationship and speak regularly. Because of that, Rose knows Wright is very happy as a retiree, per league source. So Wright is not a candidate for the job, league source said." Advertisement Josh Hart had no love lost for his old coach. The Knicks fan favorite responded to the report from Begley, joking about his lack of desire to reunite with Wright. Hart can sleep easy at night knowing whatever prompted this response will be kept away from his current organization.

Major Update in New York Knicks' Head Coaching Search Emerges
Major Update in New York Knicks' Head Coaching Search Emerges originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks have to be pretty used to rejection by now. The team has attempted to contact several NBA teams to interview their coaches and have been rejected time and time again. Advertisement The Knicks requested to interview four active NBA head coaches: Jason Kidd, Chris Finch, Ime Udoka, and Quin Snyder. The Dallas Mavericks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets, and Atlanta Hawks all told New York to kick rocks. After all of those interview requests were rejected, the Knicks have started to fixate on names that do not require the approval of another team. Two coaches, in particular, have been linked to New York recently. New York Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns with Jalen Brunson in a game against the Memphis Grizzlies at Thomas-Imagn Images According to James L. Edwards III of The Athletic, Taylor Jenkins and Mike Brown will both be interviewing for the Knicks' head coaching vacancy next week. They are considered the 'leading candidates.' Advertisement These should be two coaches that NBA fans are largely familiar with. The former of the two will be the one more fresh in everyone's minds. Jenkins was unexpectedly fired by the Memphis Grizzlies before the conclusions of their 2024-25 NBA season. The Grizzlies opted to give the reins to Tuomas Iisalo instead, who went from the interim coach to the full-time replacement. Jenkins has a 250-214 coaching record in the regular season during his team as the lead bench boss. The former Grizzlies coach enjoyed two 50-win seasons and three trips to the postseason with Memphis. The Grizzlies never quite delivered playoff success during Jenkins' time in Memphis. The Knicks coaching candidate has a 9-14 record in the postseason. Advertisement Brown is notable for his head coaching stints with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers, and Sacramento Kings. He was also fired in the 2024-25 NBA season, putting an end to his time in Sacramento. Both names here bring familiarity. However, it is easily debatable if either represents a significant upgrade over recently-fired Tom Thibodeau.
