McEnroe frequents Madison Garden often, also having attended the St. John’s men’s basketball game last week. Head coach Chris Mullin’s reaction to the New Yorker’s appearance in his team’s huddle during St. John’s game against DePaul will not surprise anyone who has followed McEnroe's past antics.

The 57-year-old is finding ways to stay in the news even long after his playing days.
