Nate is proving D'Antoni wrong!

I'm not a big Knicks fan but I am a big basketball fan, and this is good basketball. Reigning slam dunk champion (Did he deserve it? I don't know) Nate Robinson has been banished to the bench by Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni. The only stats that were skyrocketing for little Nate (he's only 5 feet 9 inches IN SHOES) were his DNP's (did not play / coach's decision). He went from being a starter to a bench warmer for 14 straight games. The situation has reached such a low that his agent wants him out of New York and onto a roster that will let him play. Nate showed why he deserves playing time and dropped 41 points, in an OT win over the Atlanta Hawks (hate to see them lose though).
