Last month, the Knicks hired Steve Stoute and his agency to help bolster the team’s brand and ties to the fan base. Since being hired, Stoute has had strong influence with Dolan and the organization, as you’d expect. His hiring was endorsed by LeBron James. When reached last night by email to ask about his influence in the organization, Stoute said, “I work with Jim and his leadership team…I’m proud to be a part of this organization…We haven’t even gotten started yet…There are great things ahead for the NY Knicks.”
