Fredette a hero to just about everyone except his coach

The upstate New York sharpshooter fulfilled “a dream’’ Monday, officially signing a 10-day contract with the Knicks and being activated for their game against Toronto. Fredette debuted in the final two minutes and promptly hit a 3-pointer in the Knicks’ 122-95 loss.

In a telling remark, Rambis said, “A lot of that [decision to sign him] comes from management, too.’’

It definitely didn’t come from a Carmelo Anthony recommendation. Anthony called him “Jimmy” Saturday night and didn’t indicate the signing would make an impact.
