The NBA announced on Monday that New York Knicks head coach, Tom Thibodeau, won the 2020-21 Coach of the Year award for the second time in his career. These reports have sent a shockwave throughout social media — and as for Miami Heat fans, they shouldn’t be an exception.
A breakthrough for Most Improved Player, Julius Randle, the healthy-and-comfortable play of Derrick Rose, and a strong blend of confident young players with gritty veterans propelled New York (41-31) to the fourth-seed in the Eastern Conference.
