RJ Barrett appeared on JJ Redick’s podcast “Old Man and the Three” to talk all things New York Knicks, NBA playoffs, and his Duke connection, among other things. Redick and his co-host Tommy Alter said that Barrett was one of the most requested guests for the show, making this a highly-anticipated episode, especially for Knicks fans.
While Barrett discussed a wide range of topics, his comments on Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau stand out. Despite the rocky 2021-22 season that included rumors of a potential ouster, Thibs is coming back next season. It sounds like Barrett is behind his head coach.
