The New York Knicks made waves on Tuesday afternoon when they fired head coach Tom Thibodeau just three days after the team's elimination from the 2025 playoffs.
Considering the Knicks had just made their first Eastern Conference finals appearance in 25 years, the news certainly came as a surprise ... at least to some. Thibs had his shortcomings, sure, but he made the postseason four times during his five-year tenure, and led the Knicks to consecutive 50+ win seasons for the first time since the '90s.
