New York Knicks' Relationship With Rick Brunson Revealed originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks are Jalen Brunson's team, and when you commit to a superstar, there is generally some baggage.

Despite winning 51 games, finishing third in the Eastern Conference and taking his team to the conference finals, the New York Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday.

The Knicks made that decision after they lost to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, their longest playoff run in 25 years. The next Knicks coach, whoever it is, will be expected to help take the team further, especially after the front office went all-in last offseason with trades for Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns.
