The New York Knicks‘ playoff run was epic, but it fell short against a fundamentally brilliant Indiana Pacers team. Despite the Knicks not reaching the NBA Finals, there was a lot to like for fans. Aside from the memories of this specific postseason run, the franchise looked set up for future success. The front office didn’t see it that way, though, firing head coach Tom Thibodeau immediately after the playoff exit.
Thibodeau’s departure sent shockwaves through the NBA world. It’s very difficult to find a basketball analyst or former player who agrees with the decision. Several reporters, celebrities and players with close ties to the Knicks are still shellshocked by the move. The front office has already identified some top targets to replace Thibodeau. They will likely play it safe, but a former Knicks player believes they should take a big swing and hire him instead.

Ron Artest believes he should be the next head coach of the New York Knicks
The controversial former player formerly known as Ron Artest and Metta World Peace – now legally named Metta Sandiford-Artest – has thrown his hat in the ring following the Thibodeau news. He has even changed his username on X to account for being a “Coach” candidate.
Game Recap: Pacers 125, Knicks 108
Artest played with the Knicks during the 2013-14 season, but he only appeared in 29 games and was waived by the team before the end of the season. It sounds like there are no hard feelings from that chapter, as he’s willing to let bygones be bygones in order to help a franchise he cares about deeply.
The problem is that Artest has no real coaching experience at all, not even as an assistant at any level except a short stint for the South Bay Lakers as player development coach in 2017-18. Despite Artest appearing sincere with his volunteering to be the Knicks’ next head coach, no one is expected to take him seriously. He has legally changed his name more times than he has years of coaching experience.

This month will decide the direction of the Red Sox season
Deesha Thosar MLB Writer <!--> NEW YORK — Asked to characterize the first couple months of his club’s season, Red Sox manager Alex Cora looked down and repeated two barely-audible words. "Not great," Cora said in his pregame press conference on Friday, perched on a bench in the visitor’s dugout at Yankee Stadium. "Not great."Cora, typically animated and chatty with reporters, did not care to expand. From his hunched body language to the defeated tone behind his choice of words, the manager didn’t exactly give a vote of confidence for his flailing Red Sox team. It was an attitude that was poles apart from what Cora promised at the end of last year's season. After Boston finished 2024 with an 81-81 record, Cora said, multiple times, "I think this is the last time we’re going to struggle." Boy, was he wrong. And yet... […]

Sabalenková se po finále rozbrečela: Moc se vám omlouvám, bylo to strašné
Přitom vstup do zápasu měla Sabalenková snový. Dařilo se jí na podání, ve třetím a pátém gemu navíc díky dělovým returnům vzala Gauffové servis a dostala se do vedení 4:1. V tu chvíli ale začala kazit, skvělé winnery začaly střídat nevynucené chyby. Těch spáchala v prvním setu hned 37 (!). Na vině byl bezpochyby i silný vítr, který tenistkám ztěžoval jejich práci. „Podmínky byly šílené, ale Coco se s nimi dokázala popasovat lépe,“ přiznala sportovně Běloruska.Trojnásobná grandslamová šampionka promrhala náskok a v desáté hře prvního setu musela odvracet dva setboly. To se jí nakonec povedlo a o vítězce první sady rozhodoval tie-break. V něm rodačka z Minsku prohrávala už 1:4, nakonec však předvedla velký obrat a první set si pro sebe po dlouhatánských 78 minutách urvala.Do druhého sady ale vstoupila rodačka z Floridy jako vyměněná, prolomila hned první servis Sabalenkové a záhy se dostala do vedení 4:1, náskok si s přehledem pohlídala a po vítězství 6:2 si vynutila […]
