The start of the New York Knicks season is amazing. The guy who gets most of the credit for this breakthrough is Thibodeau – the coach has the Knicks who play smart, disciplined and well-organized basketball. What New York needed more than anything else was cultural change: Thibodeau brought it into the locker room. This team has an identity, a team that will overtake their opponents, a team with real determination. A Thibodeau team.
This New York team is building the kind of foundation a leading player in their prime might want to join, something the Knicks haven’t been in for years.
