Former NBA star Derrick Rose has a strong relationship with Tom Thibodeau, considering he played for the former New York Knicks head coach in three different cities. And that, of course, means someone had to ask him about the firing.

Of course, the Knicks are coming off their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since 2000 last season, though they started off the summer by making a shocking decision as they fired head coach Tom Thibodeau.

After falling to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau and began an intensive coaching search. While the move was surprising, attention quickly turned to the Knicks’ coaching search and who might soon replace Thibodeau.
