Hilarious. I don't know what's funnier. Jersey's that say Billy on the back, playing against a team with jerseys that say "FORD" or this song? You can tell that D'Antoni was a take charge guy long before you became coach though.
actually D'Antoni played in Italy for Olimpia Milan club, and that game in Greece was against Aris Thessaloniki, a match played in the Euroleague, a competition at the age scheduling previous year's league winners. Nowadays this competition still exist, though its format has been changed, with many others teams entitled to take part in it. Italian league basketball at least until the first 90's was the best one in Europe, afterwards Greek and Spanish leagues have merged as the top ones.
yeah, i love the euroleague, now it's a final four system with more teams that participate. Nowadays i'm a fan of panathinaikos, several times champs of the euroleague.
i hope he leaves toronto cuz i my mind hes da 4th best player in da league behind kobe lebron wade and howard and i want him to go to a title contender cuz hes one of my favorite player and he aint gonna win shit in toronto
No, the Suns shouldn't have let him go. I'm a Knicks fan, but he should have gone to the Bulls. Then again, he didn't know they'd win the draft lottery.
Sono Anna, tifosissima di MIKE dai grandiosi tempi di Milano.
E' stato un privilegio vederlo giocare e conoscerlo: una persona unica e di grande valore umano.
In Italia Mike D'Antoni è stato un giocatore, un allenatore e un campione incredibile; un esempio per tutti per la sua bravura, classe, umiltà, serietà e passione.
Lo adoro da quando sono piccola, e tutt'ora non posso che ammirarlo per i successi che continua ad avere con il suo amato basket. MIKE SEI GRANDE!!!
Did you know that when Kobe was a kid while living in Italy his fave player is Mike D'antoni. That's where he gets his no.8 jersey before changing it to his high school jersey no.24
Wow its obvious your a fucking Kobe hater. I know all Kobe haters dont believe this but its true his fave player is D'antoni back when he was in Italy.
I'm italian and i'm an "Olimpia Milano" fan, the team where D'Antoni expenses his entire italian career as player and where started his career as coach.
Ehehe mi dispiace dirlo ma all'epoca gli americani lo sottovalutarono un po' troppo, questo era benissimo associabile a una squadra NBA...vabbè meglio così per noi! W AJ!
shut up bad kid the knicks got 3 expiring contraks they gonna do alot of moves and they have a lottery pick ....who wouldnt wanna be in newyork Madison square garden..and they paying Mike D'Antoni 6 million a year
The New Head Coach Of The New York Knicks. I wish him nothing but the best. I am A Knicks Fan and I Pray for him to turn the Franchise back to the top elite next season. Go NEW YORK KNICKS.Go Mike Dantoni.
I agree with Denham3000. Steve Nash is the faster stronger NBA 2000 version of D'Antoni with more off balance jumpers and Globetrotter-like ball handling.
By the way, I loved seeing D'Antoni defended by archrival Nick Galis in this video. Galis doesn't hardly defend all that much, it seems. Then again, he didn't need to given the way he scored against everybody (including UNC phenom Michael Jordan who Galis torched in an exhibition game).
I watched D'Antoni play in the NBA (with Kansas City) and in the ABA (St. Louis)in the '70s. He was a defensive-minded guard then with an incredible knack for making steals. Quickest hands I've ever seen. His steals average projected over 48 minutes may be the highest in NBA history. I also saw him block a Julius Erving shot at the Checkerdome in St. Louis.
Good player, but no one like Nikos Galis.....
