That's like an irrational personal hatred for a man that did nothing to you, he only helped you when he gave you the best basketball of the 2000s decade,
Please, man,
System, system, he's a coach, he has a way he wants to play, teams hire him to do this, what is the problem?
Every coach is different,
THE ONLY TRAGEDY IN ALL OF THIS IS THAT NEW YORK HIRED A GUY THAT NEEDS A HALFWAY DECENT POINT GUARD TO EXECUTE HIS VISION AND THEN THEY DIDN'T GIVE HIM THAT POINT GUARD!!! IF A SURGEON SAYS LOOK I NEED THIS AND THAT KNIFE TO CUT THIS MAN OPEN, THEN YOU GIVE HIM A RUSTED SPOON, IS THE SURGEON TO BLAME WHEN THE OPERATION GOES BAD? COME ON, SON, COME ON!!!! COME ON BRO!!
His quips? That's his personal style, if you don't like D'Antoni for his style then you probably hate bunnies and you would not feed starving animals
