The New York Knicks were playing the Celtics in Boston a week ago. The Knicks' Julius Randle was set up to the left of the free-throw line and exchanging short passes with a guard.
Celtics analyst Brian Scalabrine watched for 15 seconds and said: "This is awful basketball.''
When the night ended, Randle had 20 points and 12 rebounds in a Knicks 105-75 victory. This came on Tom Thibodeau's 63rd birthday, back in the NBA as a head coach, but not also the basketball president as was the case in Minnesota.
The Knicks president is Leon Rose, Thibs' agent and friend from the Creative Artists Agency.
