NBA 2K League Team: Knicks Gaming Names Nate Kahl New Head Coach

# results[].description
NEW YORK, October 18, 2023 – NBA 2K League Team: Knicks Gaming, the official NBA 2K League team of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (NYSE: MSGS) announced today that assistant coach Nate Kahl has been named the team’s new head coach.

Following six seasons as the team’s head coach, Kyle Rudy will take on a new, expanded role with the team, overseeing team and business operations.

"Ever since Nate joined the NBA 2K League back in 2018 and I had the opportunity to coach him, I knew he had what it took to become a coach himself one day,” said Rudy. “He has been the epitome of a true professional and an integral part of shaping the culture and success of Knicks Gaming.”

As a 2018 2nd Round Draft Pick, NBA 2K League Inaugural Champion, and Finals MVP for Knicks Gaming, Kahl brings invaluable experience to the team in his new role. In 2021, Kahl returned to Knicks Gaming as a player, following seasons with the Brooklyn NetsGC and Pacers Gaming. In 2022, Kahl was hired by Knicks Gaming as assistant coach and helped lead the team to qualify for the playoffs in both 3v3 and 5v5.

“This is a full circle moment that I probably wouldn’t have believed if someone told me five years ago when I was first drafted here,” said Kahl. “This is an opportunity to lead and to impact every individual involved with Knicks Gaming. I strongly believe in this organization, this city, and this team.”

In his role as head coach, Kahl will lead the organization’s team operations, player development and scouting.

Former Finals MVP Named Knicks Gaming Assistant Coach

# results[].description
NEW YORK– January 19, 2023–NBA 2K League Team: Knicks Gaming, the official NBA 2K League team of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp., announced today that Nate Kahl has been named as the team’s new assistant coach.

Kahl was drafted ninth in the second round by Knicks Gaming in the inaugural 2018 NBA 2K League Draft. He assisted the team in winning its first-ever championship, and was named the Finals MVP in 2018. Kahl went on to play with NetsGC and Pacers Gaming before returning to Knicks Gaming for a second stint in 2021. The Milwaukee native says coming back to the Mecca was destiny.

"A part of me always thought I would give coaching a swing, because I thought I would be good at it," Kahl said. "If you told me five years ago that I would be coaching the same team that I won a championship with as player, I wouldn’t believe you. I’m excited for the opportunity and up for the challenge.”

Knicks Gaming head coach and team manager Kyle Rudy believes Kahl's return is one of the missing pieces for the team to win its second championship in franchise history.

"The process of bringing Nate back was easy, " Rudy explained. "He was our first-ever finals MVP. He stands for everything we believe in with values, work ethic, knowledge of the game and leadership. All of those qualities carry over well as a coach."

In his role as assistant coach of Knicks gaming, Kahl will assist Coach Rudy with rounding out this year’s roster by selecting the final Knicks Gaming player with the 42nd pick in the draft on January 26. Throughout the season, Kahl will focus on team strategy and operations, player development and scouting.
