Why even acknowledge him, Stan? Wilbon is a moron. Consistently.
This is what Wilbon said, without citing sources, or without following up in either his newspaper column or on television:
“… I think that Stan probably will be fired [if the Magic lose to the Celtics]. … I’ve already heard the rumblings that he will be fired if they don’t win this series.”
The Magic, who were trailing 3-0 in the Eastern Conference finals against Boston when the remarks were made, beat the Celtics in overtime Monday night. They are home against the Celtics on Wednesday.“No. 1, I’m not worried about my job security, and I’m even less worried about what Michael Wilbon would think about anything,” Van Gundy said. “He’s just … a talking head. I have refused to be on PTI (Wilbon’s television show) for years, for five years. I follow that stuff. If you go on guys’ shows, they don’t criticize you. If you won’t go on their show, they do. That stuff is never known. There’s a lack of integrity in that business.”
Obviously, Stan Van Gundy has absolutely nothing to worry about. Do you know how fast he’d be picked up were he to be fired? Once Jackson tells the Cavs to fuck off, they’d be sucking Stan’s dick so fast that Dan Gilbert would cut his lip on Stan’s zipper. And who would the Magic get to replace Van Gundy? Mike Brown?
Anyway, Wilbon’s always been an idiot, so this is nothing new. He clearly doesn’t have any sources, and the concept is preposterous on its face. You try coaching a team with Vince Carter and a seven-footer who’s offensively worthless 10 feet or farther from the basket.
