CHICAGO — Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo, who worked alongside David Fizdale in Miami for eight-plus years, said he believes the Knicks need to let Fizdale be Fizdale.
After working under Miami president Pat Riley for 22 years, McAdoo is as old-school as it gets. The former Knicks All-Star center from the late 1970s still can’t fathom what Memphis management did to Fizdale. The Grizzlies fired him one month into his second season because of a feud with Marc Gasol, ending Fizdale’s first head-coaching stint.
According to McAdoo, Memphis didn’t do right by Fizdale.
“He did do a good job in Memphis, but it’s a player’s league,’’ McAdoo told The Post at the NBA Draft Combine on Friday.
