New York Vinnie is not the biggest fan of Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy. Now part of that reason is an accident of birth; he happens to be the brother of  “The Quitter” former NBA coach turned untalented NBA broadcaster Jeff Van Gundy. New York Vinnie pretty much Frickin despises “The Quitter” for leaving “My Boys” the New York Knicks in the middle of the season because he was Frickin burnt out.

However even if he was not related to “The Quitter” New York Vinnie most likely would still dislike Stan-Van; he is loud, obnoxious and a Frickin whiner. Stan-Van has already started whining this season even though we are barely more than a week into it. The Magic head coach spoke with “NBA Fanhouse” complaining that his center Dwight Howard does not get any sympathy from NBA Game Officials.

Van Gundy was not happy after Howard was given 11 fouls by the referees over the last two games. The Magic coach said “He gets penalized for being so strong. We give guys an advantage in this league for being quick, but we penalize them for being strong like Dwight. If you hit a perimeter guy on a drive the way they are allowed to hit Dwight all the time around the basket, it would be a flagrant foul. Because the big guys are so strong and don’t go tumbling to the floor, the defenders wind up and whack away. That’s just the way it is. That’s a fact. It’s not the referees fault. It’s the way they are told to call the games. They want freedom of movement on the perimeter, but they are not worried about the big guys being able to move and use their skills. Strength is penalized. And that’s frustrating for Dwight, and for me.”

Yo, Stan-Van; you have the best center by far in the NBA there is nobody else that is in the same Frickin area code. D-Howard has worn a Frickin “Superman” outfit in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest during All-Star weekend. “Superman” does not get sympathy My Man; you knock a Frickin Earl Boykins to the ground he will get the call. That is how things have been called Stan-Van since a little guy named David took on a Frickin giant named Goliath.

The Bottom Frickin line is this; you can not walk around with a giant “S” on your chest and expect people to have a whole lot of pity for you. Stan-Van here is a piece of advice from your Old Pal New York Vinnie; next time you open your mouth to say something Frickin stupid eat another Frickin donut instead.
