Knicks' $3.7 million plan for employee championship rings revealed
New York Post • • general
Key Points:
- The New York Knicks are distributing 275 championship rings worth nearly $4 million to players, coaches, employees, and other team affiliates in recognition of their contributions to the championship win.
- During the ring ceremony, top assistant coaches Chris Jent, Rick Brunson, and Brendan O’Connor were initially given empty boxes but will receive their actual rings shortly, as part of the planned distribution.
- An earlier mass email sent to MSG corporate staffers using championship rings as a lure was actually a phishing simulation intended to improve cybersecurity after a recent hacking incident, which MSG acknowledged as an error.
- All current Knicks players, former player Ariel Hukporti, and team executives Leon Rose and William Wesley received their championship rings before the home opener against the Philadelphia 76ers.
