Mike Brown Pushes the Knicks Past the Thibs Ceiling  
Podcast: Evan & Tiki
Published On: Wed May 27 2026
Description: Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber revisit one of the Knicks’ biggest offseason questions: whether moving on from Tom Thibodeau was the right call. With Mike Brown leading the team to the NBA Finals, Evan argues the Knicks’ process has been validated, while Tiki pushes back that the full story is not finished yet. The debate gets heated as they compare coaching impact in basketball and baseball, question how much credit the Knicks deserve for landing on Brown, and discuss whether postseason adjustments proved to be the difference. The conversation closes with a shift to New York baseball, including a historic Yankees blowout and renewed pressure on Carlos Mendoza after another rough Mets loss.
