Stan Van Gundy has it all wrong - the Rashard Lewis incident IS a big deal: http://www.hoopsmanifesto.com/articles/basketball/backseat-driver.html
well, im sure van gundy just took that on board and made the decision. sure it sounds bad if you twist it a certain way, but players, as stated in the article, should have the right to have thier say, standup for teammates and offer thier 2 cents. it sounds as if shard did just this and van gundy thought "hmm, okay that sounds fine. im not happy he questioned me, but ill get over that, lets put in ryan" simple.
