“He's never disrespectful"
– NBA ref on why Thibs has never been ejected
His teams always play hard
Fans get their money's worth
Backs his players publicly
20 seasons as an assistant
Then 28th winningest head coach
Always calls NBA “our league”
Tom Thibodeau
Role model
We should all take Thibs out to dinner and thank him profusely one by one for the incredible work of the last 5 years and the excitement we have all felt that we didn’t feel for a long time before he arrived. Respect and wishing him great success. 🙌💙🧡🙌
I am a Tom Thibodeau fan. He brought this team back. I felt he gave every bit of himself and was always looking to improve. I will always be grateful for how far he brought the Knicks. They are relevant again. They are championship contenders again. The Knicks became winners again with him.
Thank you COACH THIBS.
Knicks before Thibs:
❎ No culture
❎ .309 win% 6 yrs, worst NBA
❎ No playoffs 7 years
Knicks under Thibs:
✅ Culture
✅ .565 win% 5 yrs - 8th NBA
✅ 4 of 5 playoffs / ECF 2025
Thank you Thibs
Stringer Bell = China
Big player in the game. Makes and supplies a ton of product (goods) to the streets (U.S. market). Runs tight, efficient, profit-first operations.
Marlo Stanfield = Trump
New power trying to shake up the game. Doesn’t like how Stringer been running things. Wants more control and respect. Starts taxing every package Stringer tries to move through his corners.
The Tariffs = “Tax on the Pack”
Marlo says, “If you gon’ sell on my corners, you gotta pay a fee.” So now every time China tries to sell goods to the U.S., they get taxed. This makes the product more expensive for U.S. consumers.
American Businesses = Bodie
Caught in the middle. They gotta deal with the fallout. Product costs go up, profit margins shrink, and they start questioning who they really work for. Bodie just trying to survive while the bosses beef.
Consumers = Bubbles
Just trying to get by. Prices going up. They ain’t in the game but feel every consequence. Now they paying more for TVs, cars, and damn near everything else.
