Of all the great basketball minds globally - internationally based and US - Knicks adding Royal Ivey?

Will give him benefit of the doubt, but would probably be worthwhile to balance out the coaching staff with global talent, not just native New Yorkers.

Exactly. Tired of these “fans” who don’t know chit. Go do some research.
