Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni has fired back at rookie Jordan Hill, who claimed that he was buried on the bench during his tenure in New York.
"Where does that come from?" D'Antoni said. "Seriously. It's something that cracks me up. I don't play rookies? I don't like to play bad rookies."
Hill, who the Knicks dealt to the Rockets in the Tracy McGrady deal last month, helped Houston defeat New York with 13 points and five rebounds on Sunday afternoon.
"What can I say?" Hill said upon hearing D'Antoni's retort. "That's him. He's entitled to his own opinion. If that's the way he feels, that's how he feels.
"I'm entitled to my opinion, so I'm just going to go out there and say what I feel."
