ORLANDO, Fla. -- Magic coach Stan Van Gundy certainly isn't afraid to speak his mind, tossing out the zingers left and right Wednesday.Before his Magic crushed the Milwaukee Bucks, Van Gundy took a dig at the super-hyped Miami Heat and LeBron James, then he turned his sights on Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon afterward.
Both were honest responses to questions he was asked. He doesn't use a filter like so many coaches in sports today. Political correctness doesn't stand in his way.
Van Gundy was asked after the game about the improvement in the offensive game of center Dwight Howard, and his expanded shot selection this season. The question just referenced Howard's workout session this summer in Houston with Olajuwon, the former basketball great.
"This isn't a knock on anybody, but Hakeem has gotten more credit for two hours than anyone I've ever seen,'' Van Gundy said with very little prompting. "I mean, they were in a gym for two hours, three hours, and all of a sudden every shot Dwight makes is because of Hakeem.''
