Stan Van Gundy is at once again, and this time, he's none too pleased with the attention the New York Knicks and Miami Heat continue to get this season.
Speaking before his team's loss to New York on Monday night, the Orlando coach let loose about all of the hype that continues to surround the Heat and the Knicks.
"With Miami at the beginning of the year and New York since the trade, it's like because so many people are interested in what happens with LeBron [James], [Dwyane] Wade and [Chris] Bosh and now with Carmelo [Anthony], Amare [Stoudemire] and Chauncey [Billups], you guys think our overwhelming concern is 'What's happening with Miami and New York?' Quite honestly, we don't give a damn," Van Gundy told the New York Daily News. "We don't. I don't care. We're just getting ready to play them."
Naturally, Van Gundy's rant didn't end there, and he felt the need to pile onto the media's coverage of the two teams as well.
"It's not all Miami and New York," he said. "I know to ESPN it is, but to the rest of us, we actually think some of the rest of the teams matter."
Van Gundy's Magic ended up falling to Anthony, Stoudmeire, Billups and the Knicks on Monday night 113-106 in overtime. Anthony scored 39 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, as New York snapped a six-game losing streak.
