Dexter Henry is joined by Knicks Film School contributor Jeff Johnson, who coined the term “Knicks For Clicks Industrial Complex” to describe the media ecosystem that uses the Knicks’ enormous fan base to generate engagement through controversy, negativity and endless hypothetical storylines.

They also examine whether Jalen Brunson’s championship run permanently ended the “he’s not a true number one” debate, whether the Knicks can finally declare victory in the Mikal Bridges trade and why hypothetical superstar trades often received more attention than the contender Leon Rose had already constructed.
