Brunson talks about Knicks firing Thibodeau: I ll feel sad He has a profound impact on my career

September 24th, Knicks star Brunson attended the team's new season media day and talked about former coach Thibodeau.

Talking about the team's sack, Brunson said: "Obviously, I still feel sad to see someone I have known for a long time leave this team. He means a lot to me. I have expressed this in public and privately. He has had a profound impact on my career."

Trebodeau helped the Knicks make four playoffs in the past five years and led the Knicks to win 50+ games in a single season since the 1990s. Last season, he helped the Knicks advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years. In July last year, Thibodeau just renewed his contract with the Knicks, with a contract of about 3 years and $30 million.

Thibodeau began to serve as the Knicks coach in 2020. In his first season in coaching the Knicks, he brought the Knicks, who won 19 last season, into the playoffs and won the Coach of the Year. Thibodeau has achieved a record of 226 wins and 174 losses in his five seasons. In four playoff trips, the Knicks achieved a record of 24 wins and 23 losses. The Knicks were eliminated twice and once in the Eastern Conference Finals.
