Obviously, the jokes about the Villanova Knicks have reached a crescendo after the Mikal Bridges trade brought a fourth Wildcat to Madison Square Garden.
But then there’s also some chatter: what if the Knicks could somehow hire former Villanova coach Jay Wright to complete the recreation of a title-winning team?
Obviously, it’s not happening as the assumption is that they’ll hand Tom Thibodeau the bag he deserves to coach this contender. But here’s something delightful: Wright posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday morning to address the trade and he talked about how it’s “blessed” that they’re together again, which is wonderful.
Boys are blessed to be together. No one ever gets this opportunity in the @NBA . A lot of work to do ! ! Let's go !! @nyknicks @NovaMBB ! https://t.co/oSBXzSnyu6
