Rick Brunson vs. The NBA is turning out to be quite a headache for the New York Knicks. Enraged by the alleged investigation, the Knicks have accused the league of harassment. As per their statement, the promotion of Brunson has nothing fishy going on, and poking into the matter only demeans Brunson’s credibility.
“Brunson took Johnnie Bryant’s place and assumed the same salary as Bryant… It’s offensive that anyone would claim Rick didn’t deserve the promotion, Rick has done a tremendous job and will continue to do so. We see this as more harassment of the Knicks due to our opposition to certain NBA matters,” mentioned MSG Sports in an official statement.
