The Knicks are adding a Hall of Fame player and a veteran coach.<\/p>\n
Mo Cheeks is joining Tom Thibodeau\u2019s staff as an assistant, league sources confirmed Thursday. <\/p>\n
The 67-year-old, renowned for his professionalism, was with the Bulls for the last four seasons under Billy Donovan.<\/p>\n
He previously served as a head coach for the Blazers, Sixers and Pistons.<\/p>\n
Thibodeau\u2019s staff currently includes associate head coach Johnnie Bryant, plus assistants Rick Brunson, Darren Erman, Andy Greer and Othella Harrington.<\/p>\n
Cheeks, who began his NBA assistant coaching career in 1994, is now by far the most experienced. <\/p>\n
He also was on the same Sixers staff as Thibodeau in the mid-1990s.<\/p>\n
As a player, Cheeks was a four-time, All-Star point guard and NBA champion, with most of his success coming during an 11-year stint in Philadelphia. <\/p>\n
He played for the Knicks for two seasons in the early \u201990s after being acquired in a trade for Rod Strickland, helping New York to a stunning upset over the Celtics in the 1990 first round.<\/p>\n
According to NBC Chicago, Cheeks had planned to take a lesser\/advisory role with the Bulls after last season\u2019s disappointing season. <\/p>\n
Instead, he\u2019s coming to New York because \u201cthe professional\/personal opportunity prevailed,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n
Cheeks also has a long relationship with Knicks executive William Wesley, who is from the Philadelphia area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Knicks\u2019 staff has undergone several changes since Thibodeau took the job. <\/p>\n
Mike Woodson and Kenny Payne both left for opportunities in the NCAA. <\/p>\n
