During many era’s, the New York Knicks were unfortunately the laughing stock of the NBA especially during the Isaiah Thomas era and the Phil Jackson era.

After Knicks hired Fizdale last season, Scott Perry states,
“I think the big thing that we found — and that’s obviously terrific that some of the game’s greats recognized David for who he is as a man and as a coach — but the players that are not that, just the guys 1 through 15, the reviews coming back on him were all very consistently similar”.
