Kenny Smith says Kemba Walker is a Ferrari and Tom Thibodeau doesn't know what to do with it after the hooper was pulled from the Knicks rotation this week.

The 31-year-old hooper was removed from the Knicks rotation earlier this week ... as he's been averaging career lows in almost every major category this season.came in and balled out with 23 points against the Hawks on Saturday, Thibs decided to pull Walker out of the starting lineup AND the rotation altogether.

We spoke with Smith about Kemba's benching, considering he signed a 2-year, $20 million deal this past offseason ... and he says this is not a testament to Walker's skills. "The guy's a great offensive player and you just don't know how to use him," Smith told us at LAX."That's really what you're saying. You're not saying that he can't play."

Smith says Thibs just flat-out doesn't know how to use the baller ... and can be of use for a team that knows what to do with his talents. "It's the coach and the organization just not understanding what value of a guy like this, what they paid for.""You can have a Ferrari, but you drive it 30 miles an hour ... what's the use?!"

What else do you expect the man to say. He’s probably friends with Kemba and he’s not going to sit there and bash the man while he’s down. But in reality Kenny should know better than that considering he dealt with his own knee problems

Ferraris don't get traded twice, waived and then benched.

A Ferrari that doesn’t go fast anymore and needs a lot of tuning.

A Ferrari with a busted engine that can’t run anymore? I really like Kemba so I hate to say it, but it’s the truth

Starting Burks at pg after 20 games is a travesty.

He’s a Hyundai Getz

Right, that’s why the Celtics and okc got rid of him too. Dude has a arthritic knee.

This is why Kenny Smith doesn’t have a coaching job, and will never get one 🤷🏾‍♂️

the ones you find on the side in dubai right?

More like a used Mercedes

Obviously.

Thats why your on tv and not coaching ( to be fair your great on tv )

I guess Charlotte, Boston & OKC didn’t know what to do with a Ferrari either. 🤷🏽‍♂️ TheJetOnTNT

No - he's a erratic volume shooter who misses most of his shots - and can't play defense - that's why his ass is on the bench lol.

kemba walker is salvage ferrari

🤔

Deluded

Did Boston and OKC not know how to use him as well?

🤫

I need a translator 🥴🚬
