Their latest reunion skipped the emotions and went right into the brass tacks, in the Tom Thibodeau way.
“Thibs just gave me that look like, ‘Yo, you in shape?’ ” said Taj Gibson, officially signed by the Knicks on Friday to a one-year, nonguaranteed deal. “‘You know I can’t rock with you if you’re not in shape.’”
Gibson affirmed to his coach Friday that he’s well conditioned — a product of training by himself at the NBPA gym in Manhattan — but Thibodeau couldn’t resist busting chops, telling his 38-year-old center to run sprints with the guards.
“Then he says, ‘I’m joking with you,’” Gibson said. “He knows how to ruffle feathers.”
