This week, the New York Knicks surprised the NBA world by parting ways with Head Coach Tom Thibodeau. The move came three days after the team’s heartbreaking elimination from the Eastern Conference finals.

Now that the Knicks players have signed off on firing Tom Thibodeau, Magic Johnson says “there’s a lot of pressure on the players next season" and “all the excuses are gone now.”

“ [Thibodeau] took that job when the Knicks were just bums. They were 20 wins. He got that job for five years, made the playoffs in four years, first Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years. He helped Knicks basketball go back to the top level in the league. He should get a lot of credit for the foundation that he built.”
