If he took the shot on his own net at the buzzer, then you have a point. But is D'Antoni gonna bench a guy for taking a practice shot after the buzzer? Sounds like a nut to me.
So are the other players in the league stupid because they try shots from their half when they have only 1 second to the end of the quarter?
Of course they are, because people will see a FGA on their boxscore and their % would fall.
Nate, I think, is one of this people: he doesn't take the game seriously (as a job)... if Mike asked to try the three with a 1 second left YOU SHOT THE BALL! Bottom line.
Mike did the right thing benching him; Nate is earning so much money being in the NBA, but he's acting like a clown... Probably he has learned.
