The pair of Knicks offered kind words for their former coach, who was fired despite leading the team to the conference finals for the first time since 2000.

The Knicks have been the recipient of much criticism from figures in sports media since firing Tom Thibodeau on June 3, with ex-NBA coach P.J. Carlesimo declaring that the team is “their own worst enemy” during a podcast appearance Tuesday.

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart came to Tom Thibodeau’s defense in his latest social media post. The Villanova forward said that fans should appreciate what Thibodeau contributed to the team in the past five years.
