Former Knicks forward Taj Gibson has shed light on head coach Tom Thibodeau’s response after New York captured the NBA Finals. According to Gibson, Thibodeau summed up the moment with a quick, matter-of-fact line: “That’s how it goes.”
The remark, Gibson explained, came shortly after the Knicks secured the championship, underscoring the coach’s business-first attitude even in the franchise’s highest moment. “He just said, ‘That’s how it goes,’ and started thinking about the next thing,” Gibson recounted.
The brief exchange offers a glimpse into Thibodeau’s trademark focus. Despite ending the organization’s decades-long title drought, the veteran coach apparently chose to keep emotions in check and immediately look ahead.
