Where everybody knows your name . . .
Since Mike D'Antoni spurned the Bulls for the Knicks, the field of candidates has expanded considerably. It now includes former Mavs coach Avery Johnson, Pistons assistant Michael Curry, DePaul's assistant athletic trainer, the guy across the street who coaches Lane Tech, and my neighbor who's teaching his 7-year old son how to bounce pass . . . among others.
I don't know how Knicks President Donnie Walsh convinced D'Antoni to lead that bunch of misfits. The Bulls roster is obviously imcomplete and unbalanced, but in terms of comparing shipwrecks- the Bulls are the S.S. Minnow; the Knicks are the freakin' Titanic!
And from reading all the interviews with Jerry Reinsdorf and John Paxson, I'm pretty sure they even know how to say D'Antoni's name, which is more than I can say for Walsh . . .
