Tom Thibodeau is trying his hand as an NBA analyst and has already gone viral, which in this day and age is all you can ask of a man.
The former head coach and president of basketball operations of the Minnesota Timberwolves appeared on ESPN’s NBA Countdown on Wednesday night and seemed to be experiencing one of three things:
1.) A tricky fart
2.) A brain glitch
3.) A mushroom trip
Thibbs giddily smiled through a segment that did not call for a joyous reaction, especially from a tough love guy whose only expectation of fans is to sound like he just smoked a carton of Newports. It’s almost like an intern was tickling his feet with a feather under the desk.

As you may have guessed, NBA Twitter was not kind to Thibbs, who may have just been expressing nervousness doing something he’s not accustomed to: being charismatic.
