There are going to be some Raymond Felton jokes about this, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. According to Fox Sports Fisher is the leading candidate for the Knicks job, even though he is still actively playing with OKC.
Despite Derek Fisher still playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder as they try to make their way back to the NBA Finals, reports say the 18-year veteran is the “favorite to land the Knicks head coaching job at this point.”
New York Knicks team president Phil Jackson is reportedly more than okay with Fisher’s lack of coaching experience, saying last month he is looking for someone who can be a leader, something he has already proved during his long playing career.
