D’Antoni: I’ve Failed if Lakers Not in Hunt
Sometime on Wednesday, Mike D’Antoni will board a flight from New York to Los Angeles, hobbling on a still-healing knee, and step into one of the most high-profile jobs in professional sports.
His interview for the job was short and to the point, and the expectations are crystal clear: Win now. And win it all.
“I’m going to do everything I can do to win a championship,” D’Antoni said Tuesday afternoon on the “Mason and Ireland” show on ESPNLA 710. “If we’re not at least in the hunt, a serious hunt, then I’ve failed as a head coach. I’m comfortable with that.”
