Rick Pitino:
1. Leads St John's to the Big East final at the Garden
2. Puts on the puffer
3. Hangs with Walter Berry and Mark Jackson
Possibly the most New York Basketball tweet ever
For @MarkJackson13 there is no debate, Patrick Ewing stands alone.
As the franchiseβs all-time leader in points, rebounds, and blocks, Ewing anchored an era and defined Knicks basketball for a generation.
Belief changes everything.
@MarkJackson13 credits his first pro coach, Rick Pitino, for giving him the foundation to succeed - instilling confidence, letting him play through mistakes, and shaping the mindset that fueled a 17-year career.
That same philosophy carried into his coaching, where he helped @StephenCurry30, @KlayThompson, @Money23Green, and others believe in their greatness.
A word of trust, a moment of faith, sometimes thatβs all it takes to birth something historic.
Presents: @MarkJackson13 - State champion Bishop Loughlin of Brooklyn taught North Baby-lon, the stateβs Class A titlist, a lesson about transition basket-ball, posting a 102-89 victory to win the state championship.
