The New York Knicks did the impossible Wednesday: They made a hire people didn’t immediately hate. The team brought in William Wesley, also known as World Wide Wes, as an adviser, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Wesley, 55, is a long time coaching consultant at CAA. Wesley is close with new Knicks president Leon Rose.
The team announced the news Wednesday. In a statement, Rose called Wesley “one of the most well-connected and respected people in the basketball community.”
NEW YORK KNICKS NAME WILLIAM WESLEY EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT – SENIOR BASKETBALL ADVISOR
Wesley will serve as the team’ executive vice president — senior basketball adviser under Rose.
World Wide Wes’ influences extend outside basketball. He’s one of the few basketball executives to receive a shoutout in a Jay Z song.
