The Resurrection of Mike D'Antoni

You've Gotta Love the NBA Right?

After being kicked to the curb as a result of what would become Lebron's Decision, Mike Brown ended up rising from the ashes of the Lebron James turmoil, and found himself coaching the Los Angeles Lakers just one year later. Now that he has been fired, fast forward to Mike D'Antoni on November 12th 2012.

In an extremely similar manner to Mike Brown, Mike D'Antoni found himself becoming the victim to the threat of a star player's happiness, and ended up finding himself fired in a turmoil ridden 2011-2012 season for the New York Knicks. And yet just like Mike Brown, D'Antoni rose from the ashes and has found himself with a golden opportunity to coach a star studded Lakers team filled with 4 future hall of fame bound players.

So in a tale of two Mike's, both essentially found themselves becoming the victim to a star player(Lebron potentially leaving Cleveland, and Melo's reported conflict with D'Antoni). Yet they both in a very similar fashion, ended up landing a coaching gig with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The NBA. Where Two Guys Named Mike Following Extremely Similar Coaching Routes Happens.
Yes. I had to do something as stupid as that.
