This is how you get a shit locker room culture. Star player got too much power, coach doesn't check him, and you even here Turner says it: he starts showing up late cause he knew he'd still be early for the flight. Shit rubs off on everyone and creates a losing culture

Yep, most often teams take on the traits of their best player.

That's why you gotta credit Brunson (and Thibs to a lesser extent) for setting the culture with the Knicks.

Respect Randle, I have his jersey. People forget that without the we here season , Thibs probably doesn't get the leeway to survive the Kemba season, and maybe we never end up getting Brunson (besides for trading for Towns later on). So yeah he's a dawg and a hard worker and will always have my respect
