Mike D'Antoni Coming Out Of Retirement?
Apparently, Brett Favre and Mike D'Antoni are still competing over who gets their picture in the dictionary next to the word ?comeback.?
A rumor is going around that MDA is aiming for an NBA comeback by the time he turns 60.
He would take the mantle of oldest NBA player in history away from Kevin Willis, who played five games for Dallas in 2006-07 at age 44.
At first glance, this just seems ridiculous. But at age 60, could he even come close to matching that performance? It will have been exactly over two decades since he last played on an Italian team. And the game has only gotten bigger and faster since then. Would he even have a chance? Wait a second. This is Mike D'Antoni we are talking about. Of course he?d have a chance.
MDA has been practicing with the team, and although his athleticism has taken a hit, he still has the veteran skills and knowledge of the game to be competitive.
Why couldn?t he come in and be a legitimate scoring option on a decent team? Even if he could only add 10 points a game, wouldn?t at least a dozen NBA teams love to have him?
Not to mention it would be a great marketing tactic, giving the next generation a chance to see the great MDA in action.
Of course, to make this a successful comeback, D'Antoni will have to know his limits and accept whatever role he can fill the best. But even though it?s nothing more than a rumor now, get ready, because this return is a definite possibility.
