Triangle offense? With Knicks coaches, it’s the triangle offensive.
Over the weekend, according to GQ.com, interim head coach Kurt Rambis “liked” an NSFW photograph on Twitter, featuring an Asian woman in a hands-on position with the caption, “Love female masturbation.”
The Knicks denied Rambis’ involvement, and said they have been in touch with Twitter to investigate and rectify the situation. As further evidence of a hack or spam job, the Knicks cited Rambis’ account also liking a suspicious tweet from a money-lending site.
“It’s unfortunate that it happened,” Rambis said before the Knicks hosted the Raptors on Monday. “I dealt with it. I’ve moved on. I’m preparing for this ball game.’’
Rambis, who boasted nearly 44,000 followers on Twitter before deleting his account Monday, was hardly an active user, as his last tweet was a Glenn Frey condolence on Jan. 18. At the time of the naughty like, Rambis also was following an account called “Great Ass Daily.”
Rambis has been married to his wife, Linda, for more than 30 years.
The latest social media snafu marks another embarrassing chapter for the Knicks’ coaching staff this season.
Back in October, Derek Fisher got into a physical altercation with former teammate Matt Barnes over his relationship with Barnes’ estranged wife, Gloria Govan. Phil Jackson axed Fisher following his 23-31 start earlier this month, but didn’t cite his off-court drama as the reasoning.
Though, Jackson did term the Fisher incident as “embarrassing for us and Derek,” and a bad look for the franchise.
