There’s been a lot of talk about the Knicks being interested in Derek Fisher for the open head coach position. We know Fisher is focused on the playoffs for now, but Kevin Durant shared his thoughts on the possible move for his teammate. Check out what he had to say…
Via ESPN:
Kevin Durant said Tuesday that teammate Derek Fisher has all the attributes to make a good NBA coach, if that’s the path his Oklahoma City Thunder teammate chooses after this season.
“Without a doubt. He’s a smart guy, smart mind. He’s a great motivator, great speaker and can really relate to a lot of guys and demands that respect from everybody,” Durant told the New York Post. “He’s a great locker room guy. I’m sure he’ll do a great job.”
Thunder forward Nick Collison also endorsed Fisher, saying he would make a “great” coach and lauding the veteran point guard for his leadership skills.
“He’s unique, one-of-a-kind. The only guy I ever played with who can address the team in a way as a leader. He’s able to address the team more so than anybody I played with, and he backs it up on the court, too,” he told the newspaper.
