Kess officially fired Thibodeau in the early morning of this morning, and the team will find the right new coach to compete for the championship. Former NBA player Artest updated his social media as soon as possible and applied for his self-recommendation to replace Thibodeau.

"Atester is definitely the perfect candidate for the Knicks head coach. Everything has been formed since 1999. When all the top players left because of the challenge of New York, I never escaped the city. I chose to play at St. John's University.

I was eager to be selected by the Knicks in the draft, and maybe I was the only person who was not afraid of the city. I was born to challenge for New York, and the job of Knicks coaching was mine."
