Meet the Jewish president of the Knicks.

Leon Rose became president of the New York Knicks in 2020 and has helped transform the franchise into a championship contender.

Raised in a Jewish family in New Jersey, Rose is the son of longtime basketball executive and attorney Bob Rose.

Before joining the Knicks, he was one of the NBA’s most influential agents, representing superstars including LeBron James, Allen Iverson, and Chris Paul.

Today, he is widely regarded as one of the most successful Jewish executives in professional sports, leading the Knicks through their most successful era in decades and restoring championship hopes to New York.

President Trump was spotted chatting with New York Knicks and Madison Square Garden owner James Dolan in his suite during Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Trump, who became the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game, is taking in the action alongside family members and top administration officials.

I have a Mike Breen story.

I was an intern at WFAN in 1995, and an older one at that. I was 27 years old, having just completed the coursework at The Connecticut School of Broadcasting.

I went to CSB because after I got married in 94, I ended my dream of being an actor. I had been in a few Off Broadway shows, moved to Hollywood, and came back pretty disillusioned.

So I got a job at a law firm working in the records department, and went to CSB at night.

After finishing at CSB, a classmate helped me get an internship at WFAN.

One day, I was wearing a Brooklyn Dodgers jersey and Breen, who was working on the Imus show at the time, walked by me and said, “nice jersey.”

I thanked him, and over the next few days, we chatted about sports, etc.

Finally, I asked him to listen to my demo tape, and he said, “sure.”

The next day, he handed it back to me with a page of notes. His feedback was mostly positive, and gave me a few tips to improve upon.

I thanked him, and he said to always feel free to reach out to him during my job search.

A few months later, frustrated that I had sent out about 100 demo tapes and inly gotten a few job offers for news radio jobs, I called Mike at the FAN.

“Mike, none of these sports outlets want me, and I’m only getting job offers from news stations!”

He took a beat, and quietly explained that getting in the air was the first step.

“My first job was in news, Mark,” he said. “Just get on the air.”

That changed everything. I took the next job offer, a producer job at a radio station in 1996, and I’ve been working in media ever since.

Mike has probably done the same for hundreds of people, and he likely has no recollection of how he helped a 27 year old intern change his life.

But I will always be forever grateful to Mike Breen, and why I have always tried to help others who are trying to make it.

I’m no Mike Breen, not even close, but trying to pay it forward is the only way I can think of to repay him.

Shameless plug, since I know Knick fans are still waiting for the NBA Finals to kick off: Wrote a book I’m really proud of about the last era of Knicks to reach this stage. Spoke to 200+ people, and project made NYT bestseller list and Obama’s book list

[Ben Stiller @BenStiller]

I am available for any picture any time with any member of Mike Brown’s immediate or extended family or friends. This man has taken us to the Finals. In his first year here. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[Larry Johnson @TheOriginalLJ2]

Much love for @SHAQ. This guy is as good of a person as he was a baller. Letting everyone know that I’m his favorite @nyknicks was something I didn’t expect. We go way back and all I can say is wow. ~LDJ

Knicks being dominant has absolutely nothing to do with a weak Eastern Conference.

Hawks… had 18-2 stretch late in season
Sixers… eliminated a great Celtics team
Cavs… eliminated a 60-win Pistons team

Knicks are an elite basketball team.

Thinking about how Rick Brunson was a reserve on that 1999 Finals team while 2 year old Jalen Brunson was running around the MSG locker room in diapers. Now Jalen is carrying this franchise on his back. This isn’t basketball, it’s cinema.

Happy birthday to my buddy, Mike Breen. It’s been a blast traveling through this life with you, a life we both dreamed about at Fordham. We can now officially share Medicare stories!

[Matteo Piper Jenks 🧲 🇮🇹 @MattPiperJenks]

Patrick Ewing being with the Knicks everyday carrying himself like he’s ready to give 10 tough minutes off the bench if needed is one of the great subplots of this run

[Al Hughes Dukes @Alsboringtweets]

We are down to the final half hour before Eddie’s retirement. He has been working here since 1989

[Mike Vaccaro @MikeVacc]

I miss Larry Brooks every day.

But I REALLY miss him today.

Mike Breen will call every Knicks game

ESPN has the ECF & the Finals

Breen expected to call both

This one hurts. Jason Collins was a pioneer. He had courage like you've never seen. He was an incredible teammate. And having him in Brooklyn at the start of my coaching journey meant so much. Those who knew him were blessed to call him a friend. You are already missed my brother. Rest in power. 💔
