Cowboys Legend Jimmy Johnson’s Special Wish for Monday, Sends 3-Word Message to NY Knicks Exec

It was a moment that got people talking. Before you assume it’s just another generic shout-out, think again. Enters Jimmy Johnson, the former Cowboys head coach who has been in the public eye for decades. His name brings up memories of glory days in Dallas, his strategic genius on the field, and the enduring legacy he’s carved out in NFL history. Yet, Johnson’s comment on a post by Irvin wasn’t just a casual “nice pic” or a token compliment. 

Michael Irvin, the former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and Hall of Famer, posted a series of photos on Instagram, featuring himself with none other than William “Fresh” Wesley, a prominent executive with the New York Knicks. The caption? Simple yet powerful: “Thanks to my guy Fresh (Da forever) for taking care of the 88’s today at the @nyknicks vs @celtics game .” It was an image full of camaraderie, a nod to the strong bonds built over the years. For a moment, everything seemed like a celebratory gesture—until one particular comment from Johnson took it to another level. 

It wasn’t just the photos that grabbed attention, but Johnson’s wishful comment beneath them. In his typically concise yet impactful style, he commented: “My man Wes looking good… hope the Knicks can win 3rd Monday!” That’s right. Johnson’s comment wasn’t just a friendly gesture—it reflects the mutual respect between him and William “Wes” Wesley. A key figure in the NBA world, Wes has earned his reputation as a sharp, behind-the-scenes operator with the New York Knicks. Johnson, whose coaching legacy is synonymous with success and leadership, admires Wes’s ability to thrive in the high-stakes sports world. 

Their paths have crossed many times, and it’s clear Johnson values Wes not only as a professional but as someone who gets the job done with integrity. The ‘3rd Monday’ comment referred to a crucial upcoming game—the Knicks’ chance to advance further in the playoffs. 

And let’s not forget, Johnson isn’t the only one rooting for the Knicks. The intertwining of basketball and football worlds isn’t a rare occurrence in the sports industry, but to see these personal ties play out in real-time on social media is a beautiful reminder of how intertwined it all is. With Johnson’s words now echoing through the sports world, all eyes will be on the Knicks as they prepare for their upcoming game. 

The Knicks’ road ahead: can they meet Jimmy Johnson’s wish?

With Jimmy Johnson now officially in their corner, the Knicks have more motivation than ever to push for that crucial win. The timing couldn’t be more critical. For a team that’s fought through its share of ups and downs this season, there’s something undeniably special about receiving support from someone like Johnson. Known for his unrelenting competitiveness, Johnson’s words could very well fuel the Knicks in their next game. 

The Knicks had a breakout 2023–24 season, going 50–32 for their first 50-win year since 2013. They beat the 76ers in round one but fell to the Pacers in the semifinals. Fast forward to the current 2024–25 season, and the Knicks are sitting pretty with a 36–18 record, good for 3rd place in the East. They’re putting up 118.4 points per game, a noticeable jump from 112.8 last season, and their point differential has climbed to +6.1, showing just how much, they’ve stepped up their game.

One person who’s taken notice of the Knicks’ progress is Yankees captain Aaron Judge. He’s been full of praise for Jalen Brunson, specifically calling out his leadership and clutch plays, also referring to him as “quiet assassin”, which were key in helping the Knicks take a 2-0 lead against the Celtics. On the flip side, Celtics star Jaylen Brown wasn’t backing down after their Game 3 loss to the Knicks, telling the media, “You gotta beat us four times,” a testament to the Celtics’ resilience and confidence.

As for the Knicks, this isn’t just another season. With high hopes for a playoff run, their performance on Monday will likely shape how the rest of their season unfolds. Can they take the momentum from the regular season into the postseason? That’s the million-dollar question, and it’s one Johnson’s message surely resonates with. After all, who wouldn’t love to have a legend like Jimmy Johnson rooting for your success? And who knows? It might just be the spark they need.
