The New York Knicks just played in their first NBA Eastern Conference finals since 2000.
They just had two consecutive 50-win seasons for the first time since 1993-1994 and 1994-95.
Tom Thibodeau took over a team that won 21 games in 2019-20. He coached them to a 41-31 record in his rookie campaign, followed by 37-45, 47-35, 50-32 and 51-31 seasons.
The Knicks were close to a Game 7 in this season’s East finals and not far from playing in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.
But there was no Game 7 for the Knicks and no NBA Finals appearance. And now, no more Thibodeau.
