Jerry Colangelo: Knick Job A 'Challenge' But Still Interested
Quote:
Jerry Colangelo, the executive director of USA Basketball and former longtime Suns owner, said yesterday he would be interested in interviewing for the KnicksNew York Knicks  ' presidency this summer if Isiah Thomas is let go, labeling the potential vacancy "a real challenge."
Colangelo, 68, who has won four Executive of the Year awards and is still a Suns adviser, has been mentioned as a potential candidate.
"If someone calls and wants to have a conversation, I'm open to talk," Colangelo said yesterday while discussing the U.S. Olympic Team during All-Star weekend. "I like New York." When asked by The Post if he liked the Knicks' situation, Colangelo said: "Do I like the Knicks situation? The Knicks situation is what it is. It would be real challenge. It is a challenge for anyone - present management, ownership or new. But some people like those challenges and some don't. It's a big one."
According to a source, Colangelo was in the mix to become Garden president in the early 1980s, but withdrew from consideration because his children were too young to move across country. Colangelo, who grew up in Chicago, began as a Bulls assistant in the 1960s.
One Colangelo friend said, "He's still got a lot of juice left." In December, another potential candidate, Warriors GM Chris Mullin told confidants he felt the Knicks' job may be too much of a challenge and was afraid he'd ruin his reputation in his hometown of New York if he failed.

Well, but the Knicks are a better challenge. I think he wants the job that has a greater difficulty. He's turned the Suns around, I think he will be able to do the same if he gets the job this summer.

So, they're gonna miss the playoffs WITH Iverson? Listen, people, it's time you reevaluate just how good Iverson is and what he brings to a team.

It's true I want the Knicks to be contenders, but seriously, I want us to be a championship caliber team, not just a contender. I mean, if those words were coming from someone like Joe Dumars, Jerry West, or the likes.

You gotta crawl before you walk. It's much harder to be a team like the spurs, or lakers of old. We should be happy if we could be anythuing like we were. The suns were pretty much two suspensions away from the finals.

Re: Jerry Colangelo: Knick Job A 'Challenge' But Still Interested
Jerry Colangelo is overrated , yes i've said it ...all this for a guy who has never built a champion and his career record as an nba GM is 925-961.
he is a decent GM but he's no savior.
