The Knicks’ championship parade today has me thinking about Spike Lee’s afterword for Nat Butler’s book, “Courtside,” chronicling his 40-plus years as the NBA’s Madison Square Garden-based photographer. Both Spike and Nat got to celebrate this Knicks team. @natlyphoto

BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are finalizing the hire of Portland Trail Blazers interim Tiago Splitter as the franchise's new head coach, sources tell ESPN. Splitter succeeds Billy Donovan as the Bulls' coach after stepping into the head job and excelling in Portland last season.

For decades, the Knicks tried and failed to do the opposite -- by chasing superstars and home runs and quick fixes, by changing courses emotionally and erratically.

But these Knicks were built on belief, not big swings. Around a star who never thought of himself that way. By two men who met in a shoe store fifty years ago.

Yes, you read that right: The cute meet between Knicks President Leon Rose and the man everyone knows as Worldwide Wes met as teenagers when a young William Wesley sold Rose a pair of Dr. J’s. The rest is NBA history.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with support during these past few days. Your kindness has meant so much to my family and me. 

This week, we’re honoring my father’s 72nd birthday by keeping his legacy going through his passion for journalism.

In his memory, our family has started the Larry Fitzgerald Scholarship Fund with the National Association of Black Journalists to support the next generation of journalists.
