    Dun let it fool you.

    He can be very stubborn with his 7 - 8 man rotations. Yes, he is humorous. Found a gem podcast there.

    This is one of his strengths - likability. It's not just the playing style that the players enjoy, it's just that he's likable that players like playing for him

    Dan Quayle ... NPR really needs to think about how to put out contents catered for 50 under population group.

    Mike D'Antoni is 67, though I always forget that he's that old.

    That was the one part of the interview that didn't seem to amuse him very much. :D

    After they explain the game, he's like. "... oh. kay."

    I loved that whole piece but I can't figure out why NPR reached out to him or why he agreed to do it. But it was pretty funny.

    I cannot imagine how many times his elementary and middle school classmates made “Mike Dan Tony” jokes.

    Shame.....the Rockets gave him a stage in which to look good. Too bad they couldn’t meet somewhere in the middle.

    Onward ahead, we can’t dwell on those we lost....just the ones that remain.
