## Resource

The Knicks just won it all in 2026 — and their championship staff? All former Mavericks who were once let go for being “too negative” or “not a good fit.” Casey Smith, the VP of sports medicine, was fired by Dallas in 2023 after 20 years, while Heather Mau, PJ Patton, and Jalen Brunson all followed him to New York — where they helped turn the Knicks into title contenders. Smith’s departure, amid personal struggles, was blamed on his refusal to be a yes-man — a move that backfired as his new team won the trophy. It’s a wild twist: the Mavericks’ missteps became the Knicks’ breakthrough. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
