Donte Divincenzo surprisingly supports his former head coach

Donte Divincenzo only spent one season with the Knicks. In that one year, however, he became a favorite with fans. The 6-foot-4 shoot guard set a franchise record for three made in a season and hit an extremely memorable three-pointer in their opening round Playoff-Matchup against the 76 people.

Apparently that one season had enough of a lasting impression with Divincenzo, especially with his head coach at the time, Tom Thibodeau. He tried to ensure that his new Timberwolves teammates did not respect coach Thibs.

Every year, The athletics conducts the survey of an anonymous player Where current NBA stars answer questions that have been provided to them. The most recent caused a lot of controversy when Tyrese Haliburton was elected the most overrated player of the competition.

Fred Katz van de Athletics went on the ringer nba show And spoke about one of the questions that were asked while giving what Divincenzo told his Minnesota teammates about that question. He said that athletics has changed one of the questions of which head coach you would like to play the least to who is the worst head coach? Katz said,

“” Apparently this year, when players from Minnesota were questioned, Donte would follow the reporters who took the answers. When the coaching question arrived, Donte would say: ‘You (expletive), you shouldn’t say that Tom Thibodeau. He is the (expletive) best “”

Brian Keef van de Wizards won that voice. In the meantime, Thibodeau finished for fifth place with 6.8% of the votes. Katz is very familiar with the Knicks during the year of Divincenzo with them. He was the Beat writer of athletics for the team before he made the transition to cover the entire competition last season.

Surprising after last season’s incident

It may surprise some to hear about the preference of Divincenzo for his former head coach. This is due to a viral moment of last year’s preseason.

Of course it was late in the last season that Divincenzo (together with Julius Randle) was traded by the Knicks to the wolves in a deal that sent Karl-Anthony cities to New York. When the two teams met in the preseason, Divincenzo began to shout something in the direction of Thibodeau. That made Knicks assistant head coach Rick Brunson said something to Divincenzo after the game, and the two had one back and forth.

When the players’ anonymous survey is requested, Divincenzo does not have to worry about defending Thibodeau because he is no longer the head coach of Knicks.
