Shaquille O'Neal Subtly Endorses Former Warriors Coach for Knicks Job
Shaquille O'Neal Subtly Endorses Former Warriors Coach for Knicks Job originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks made headlines across the NBA world on Tuesday after news hit that they had decided to fire head coach Tom Thibodeau. Advertisement This decision came following the Knicks' heartbreaking loss to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals and after Thibodeau's five-year reign as head coach. Naturally, the basketball world is already talking about who the Knicks should name as Thibodeau's successor. Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal appears to have made his choice after sharing a strong endorsement video via his Instagram stories not long after the Thibodeau news broke. O'Neal did not caption his post, but it seems clear that the four-time NBA champ wants to see former Golden State Warriors shot-caller Mark Jackson take the helm in New York. O'Neal shared a video strongly advocating Jackson as Thibodeau's successor for the Knicks. The clip highlights Jackson's achievements for the Warriors, where he served as head coach for three seasons between 2011 and 2014. Advertisement Jackson may not have won a championship with Golden State, but the former All-Star point guard is widely credited for playing a pivotal role in laying the foundations of the Stephen Curry-led Warriors dynasty.

He won Rookie of the Year in his first season with the Knicks and was named an All-Star in his sophomore campaign. Jackson suited up for New York for five years at the start of his career, and another couple of seasons toward the tail end of his NBA tenure. A return to the Knicks as a head coach would be a full-circle moment of sorts for the 60-year-old.

Protect trans people - Pride was and is a riot and protest against the patriarchal norms that hold us back!" We aren't sure that Gracie McGraw has ever publicly stated that she is queer — we can't find anything that says she parents have always stayed pretty quiet with anything politically charged, but they clearly support their daughters in all endeavors. Gracie recently debuted at Carnegie Hall for her performances of The Great War & The Great Gatsby, which will air on PBS for Veteran's Day. Her parents were right there cheering her on for her premiere on one of the world's most renowned stages. For Gracie's 28th birthday on May 5, McGraw posted a throwback photo of them together from when Gracie was little and wrote, "Can't believe this little bit turns 28 today! Happy birthday to our Gracie! You are a light in this world my sweet girl. So much heart, soul, respect and yes LOADS of talent!!! We hope you have the best day ever and know that you are loved beyond measure! I love you, my little girl." And the McGraw patriarch posted a photo to Instagram in September 2024 to celebrate wife Faith's birthday and wrote, "Happy birthday to this remarkable woman! My beautiful, strong, crazy, badass wife!!!! I love my girl with everything that I am and could ever hope to be! She is our beacon, our rock, our strength. The girls and I are so very blessed! Our girls could not have a better role model in their lives as how to be an incredibly strong woman. And how to believe in themselves and be in charge of their lives (every aspect of their lives)! Let's honor the women in our lives with respect and make sure that we fight for their rights right alongside them!" Notably, Hill was also one of the handful of country artists who supported singer Chely Wright when she publicly came out in 2010.
