NBA》尼克隊25年來帶隊戰績最好教練遭開除 市長發文感謝Thibodeau讓紐約重返榮耀
紐約尼克隊宣布開除合作5個賽季的總教練席柏多(Tom Thibodeau)，在網路上引起熱烈討論，畢竟尼克隊才剛在NBA 2025季後賽東區冠軍賽中敗下陣來，而這是他們睽違25年來的最佳表現，沒想到還是不足以讓席柏多保住飯碗。
紐約市長亞當斯(Eric Adams)不久前也特地發文向席柏多致意，亞當斯寫道「謝謝你，席柏多，過去5年來的領導改造了尼克隊，讓我們可以在睽違25年後重返東區冠軍賽」，民調不理想的亞當斯，似乎也藉此抒發自己的感觸，他表示席柏多的處境就像是無法完全滿足850萬紐約客的各種意見一樣，但所有人絕對都認同席柏多執教的尼克隊已經把比賽的熱情帶回紐約。
Thank you, Tom Thibodeau, for your leadership over the last 5 years, rebuilding the @nyknicks and taking us to our first Eastern Finals in 25 years.As I always say, 8.5 million New Yorkers, 35 million opinions. And while every New Yorker may not have agreed with every call, we… https://t.co/7RJ12ZoDyx

尼克隊當家球星布朗森(Jalen Brunson)日前在受訪時才表示期待新賽季繼續和席柏多奮戰，沒想到過沒幾天就風雲變色，尼克隊球員哈特(Josh Hart)不久前也發文向席柏多表達「永遠感激」之意。
Forever Grateful 🧡💙 Thank You! https://t.co/a81D5SST1d

席柏多自從2020年接掌尼克隊兵符，5個賽季中有4季都打進季後賽，並在季後賽累積24場勝利，而尼克隊過去13任總教練除了席柏多之外，總共只在季後賽寫下7場勝利，不難看出席柏多任內的尼克隊發生多大轉變。
有點巧合的是，席柏多在2010年成為公牛隊總教練，也在第5個賽季結束後遭球隊開除，當時他連續5季率領公牛殺進季後賽，其中3次都至少挺進第二輪，成績同樣可圈可點，然而過度依賴主力球員的調度模式，一直讓席柏多飽受質疑，也被認為是始終無法帶隊晉級總決賽的關鍵因素之一。

New York lawmakers approve bill that would allow medically assisted suicide for the terminally ill
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Terminally ill New Yorkers would have the legal ability to end their own lives with pharmaceutical drugs under a bill passed Monday in the state Legislature. The proposal, which now moves to the governor's office, would allow a person with an incurable illness to be prescribed life-ending drugs if he or she requests the medication and gets approval from two physicians. A spokesperson for New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she would review the legislation. The New York Senate gave final approval to the bill Monday night after hours of debate during which supporters said it would let terminally ill people die on their own terms. 'It's not about hastening death, but ending suffering,' said state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, a Democrat who sponsored the proposal. Opponents have argued the state should instead improve end-of-life medical care or have objected on religious grounds. 'We should not be in the business of state-authorized suicide,' said state Sen. George Borrello, a Republican. The state Assembly passed the measure in late April. The proposal requires that a terminally ill person who is expected to die within six month make a written request for the drugs. Two witnesses would have sign the request to ensure that the patient is not being coerced. The request would then have to be approved by the person's attending physician as well as a consulting physician. The legislation was first introduced in 2016, Hoylman-Sigal said, though it has stalled year after year in the New York statehouse. Dennis Poust, executive director of the New York State Catholic Conference, which has opposed the measure, said 'This is a dark day for New York State." Eleven other states and Washington, D.C., have laws allowing medically assisted suicide, according to Compassion & Choices, an advocacy organization that backs the policy. Corinne Carey, the group's local campaign director, said lawmakers had 'recognized how important it is to give terminally ill New Yorkers the autonomy they deserve over their own end-of-life experiences.' 'The option of medical aid in dying provides comfort, allowing those who are dying to live their time more fully and peacefully until the end,' said Carey.

Doc Rivers tells Kobe Bryant story from 2008 NBA Finals: 'He put that fear in you, man'
Doc Rivers tells Kobe Bryant story from 2008 NBA Finals: 'He put that fear in you, man' Kobe Bryant, the late Los Angeles Lakers great, was one of the greatest basketball players and overall athletes of all time. He led the Lakers to five NBA championships, and he was not only one of the greatest crunch-time performers ever but, in the minds of some, he was possibly the greatest closer ever. Even when the Lakers were down by double digits in the fourth quarter of a game, fans often thought there was still a chance the team could pull out a victory because of Bryant's exploits under pressure and his lack of fear. Like anyone else, he had his share of lowlights, and one of the worst moments of his career came when L.A. was embarrassed in the 2008 NBA Finals by the archrival Boston Celtics. It lost Game 6, 131-92, in Boston as the Celtics claimed their 17th championship, and although the Celtics were ahead by a wide margin down the stretch, head coach Doc Rivers could still feel the fear that Bryant always put in the minds and hearts of opponents. Celtics defensive coordinator Tom Thibodeau wanted Rivers to take his starters out midway through the fourth quarter, but Rivers refused because he feared that Bryant could get L.A. back in the game. Via Fox Sports: 'Game 6 was terrific,' Rivers said. 'That's a moment that I remember in 2008. The funniest moment, Kobe knows this, but we were up 1,000 [points] in Game 6 and the guy who you would least expect walks over to me during the game -- Tom Thibodeau -- and he asks me, 'Are you going to sub out? There's six minutes and we're up 42 points.' 'Of all the guys to say that, it's Tom Thibodeau. And I looked over there at the Lakers and Kobe was still on the floor, and I actually said, 'When Phil [Jackson] takes that guy out, I take my guys out.' And Thibs said, 'You're safe.' And I said, 'Not with that guy on the floor.' 'I was dead serious. I had obviously lost my mind because it was a 42-point lead. But he put that fear in you, man. He could run off threes. I was obviously not good at math, so I was worried about him. Then finally Phil took him out so I could sub. It was good.' The type of deficit the Lakers faced in the fourth quarter of that game was one even Bryant couldn't overcome. The embarrassment they suffered bonded the team together, and coming into next season, it was clearly on a mission. It won the 2009 NBA title, but it defeated the Orlando Magic and not the Celtics. The Lakers finally got another shot at the men in green in the 2010 finals, and this time, they won it all, as they overcame a 13-point deficit in the third quarter of Game 7. Bryant shot 6-of-24 from the field in that seventh game, but he played very well for most of the second half and especially in the fourth quarter, as he found ways to be efficient offensively while also contributing in other areas. For those who paid attention to his excellent play down the stretch of the game, it reinforced his image as arguably basketball's ultimate closer.
