Derek Fisher was fired by the New York Knicks on Monday, and perhaps nobody was happier about the news than Matt Barnes.

Barnes infamously fought Fisher during training camp because he was upset about his estranged wife dating the coach. But with Fisher getting fired, Barnes, a forward on the Memphis Grizzlies decided to respond with an Instagram photo:

Barnes’ post did not have a caption, just the picture. But as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

For the record, Knicks executive Phil Jackson said Fisher’s fight with Barnes had nothing to do with the firing.

Phil says that Fisher's incident with Barnes was embarrassing, but that it "had nothing to do with the firing"
