This certainly wasn’t the triangle offense that Phil Jackson had in mind. After replacing Derek Fisher as the interim head coach of the New York Knicks, Kurt Rambis has found himself in quite a pickle as it’s being reported that his Twitter account “liked” an X-Rated photo of an Asian woman masturbating.
Needing to protect their “good” name, the Knicks chalked this up to a hack job.
Reports the New York Daily News:
A Knicks spokesman went with the standard “his account was hacked” defense to put out the brush fire. Of course, in October the Knicks official position after Fisher missed the sixth practice of training camp was that he had received permission to fly to Los Angeles to visit his kids. His return was delayed due to equipment problems with the private jet. Who hasn’t used that excuse?
Matt Barnes quickly poked holes into that version of events so if you’re a betting man with any common sense you’d probably guess that Rambis was not hacked.
With the recent shenanigans that have been plaguing the New York Knicks coaching staff lately, you’d think the Benny Hill theme song would be an appropriate cut to play during introductions.
This isn’t exactly cause for Rambis to be subjected to a walk of shame down Broadway in his birthday suit a la Game Of Thrones (shame!). But, it does add more embarrassment to a Knicks franchise—and Rambis himself—that’s trying badly to reinvent itself as a club of respectability in hopes of luring some big name free agents this summer and next.
Check out the tweet in question on the flip.
