The D'Antoni Confusion


You know, I'm all about people wanting to make a ton of money. Lawyers, crooked doctors, Stephon Marbury shitty point-guards - all these people find making money more important than anything else and there isn't really anything wrong with that - we are Americans.

My question is - why in the hell would Mike D'Antoni, a rather respectable coach who seems to be a stand-up guy (and take this with a Marvin Harrison grain of salt), want to coach the damn Knicks?

As Charles Barkley said a week or so ago on "PTI", nobody jumped on the Titanic as it was going down - that's just stupid.

D'Antoni could coach in Chicago, with young talent that has shown signs of "greatness" at times but thinks coaching in New York would be better? I'm sorry, a couple of million bucks more a year when you're already extremely wealthy just isn't worth that herky-jerky roller coaster in the Big Apple.
