Robert Horry and Derek Fisher are former teammates who won three rings together with the Los Angeles Lakers in the early 2000’s. They also were known for being clutch players late in games during the early 2000’s.
Horry was on with Boomer and Carton in New York Tuesday morning and said that his former teammate wasn’t ready to jump from player to coach.
“I love Derek to death,” Horry said. “Why bring him in to coach a team with people that he played against and played with? You can’t tell me anything. If I played basketball and you played with me, and all of a sudden you become my head coach, there isn’t anything you can tell me, dude,” Horry said. “Because your years in the league were just as long as mine. Why are you coaching me? That’s one of the things that I hate.”
The Knicks finished 17-65 in Fisher’s first season, the worst in team history. The team missed out on getting one of the top two picks in this years NBA Draft, losing the draft lottery.
