00:00Gerald Wilkins suggested an interesting novel idea that Tommy Thibodeau be invited to the parade.
00:07Not his team, but this team first enjoyed some level of success under him,
00:12and you could say he got them to the doorstep,
00:15and it's Mike Brown that got them through the door, obviously, to the championship.
00:19If you're Thibodeau, and they offer you the opportunity to join them on the parade route,
00:25because there's a lot of Knick fans that still appreciate what you did here
00:28in the four or so years that you were here,
00:31would you accept the invitation, or would your pride say to you,
00:35I get it, I love the guys, I do feel a small part of it,
00:39but I have too much self-respect to go?
00:41Yeah, there's no way.
00:42How would you handle that?
00:43Yeah, I couldn't.
00:44You would not go?
00:45I don't think there's any way Thibodeau would either.
00:47I think you'd go.
00:48I don't think you'd do.
00:49I think you sit there, and you enjoy people saying,
00:53Hey, Thibby! Way to go, Thibs!
00:55I think there's a place for that,
00:57and maybe today's the day.
00:59Maybe now that we're removed from it a couple days,
01:01you can go back and look at him.
01:03You can go look at Julius Randle.
01:05You can go look at Dante DiVincenzo.
01:07You can go look at a lot of the players and people who came along
01:10that changed this franchise over the last five years
01:13and had a major impact in them winning a championship,
01:16but they don't belong at the parade.
01:17Well, DiVincenzo doesn't belong there, neither does Julius Randle.
01:20No.
01:20But you could make an argument,
01:22well, he doesn't belong, belong there,
01:23and maybe it's disrespect for Mike Brown if he's there.
01:26You could certainly make that argument if you wanted to.
01:29Look, I don't think they're going to ask him,
01:31but if they ask him, do you think he says yes to that?
01:34No, I think he says no.
01:35Or do you think he goes, It's not my place, it's Mike's place.
01:37I don't want to step on Mike's toes.
01:39Maybe there's that, right?
01:40There is no way a former coach who didn't coach this team
01:44hadn't been there for any of the process of this year's group,
01:47wasn't there in the playoffs,
01:48wasn't there down to one of the Atlanta Hawks.
01:51He can't be a part of this parade.
01:52He's a part of what we will take.
01:54Would you ask him if you're the Knicks?
01:56Because, look, you know,
01:57all the old Knicks that have been in the building,
01:59they're going to be there.
