Description
Under the Bright Lights is the authoritative account of how the Knicks became champions again, from a writer who has covered the team for years and understands it deeply. Thanks to behind-the-scenes details shared with him by players, coaches, and executives, Fred Katz unpacks the franchise turnaround that began in 2020, when former sports agent Leon Rose took over as president. Rose immediately hired coach Tom Thibodeau, who helped the team find its identity. The acquisitions of Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Josh Hart, and Mikal Bridges were key. But it was Jalen Brunson’s emergence as both an elite star and selfless leader—despite the heavy criticism he and the Knicks received when he first came to the team—that powered an extraordinary group of men to one of the greatest championship runs in NBA history.
Like Moneyball, Under the Bright Lights delivers a highly entertaining and illuminating narrative of a sports organization’s transformation. Katz goes under the hood to find out how not just any NBA team reinvented itself, but the most heavily scrutinized one in America. Knicks fans will bask in the peak emotional highs of their team’s journey to the title, while also getting new stories they've never heard before, and sports fans of all stripes will follow an arc that proves how much dedication and strategy it takes for any franchise to build a championship team.
