    That's right, it's on his official bio at NBA.COM

    Quote Originally Posted by NBA website bio
    D'Antoni – a dual citizen of the United States and Italy – was an All-NBA Rookie Second Team choice in 1974 after the Kansas City-Omaha Kings selected him with the 20th pick in the 1973 NBA Draft. He played two-plus seasons for the Kings, where he was a roommate of former longtime NBA Head Coach Rick Adelman, before joining the ABA's Spirits of St. Louis and NBA's San Antonio Spurs.

    After just two games with the Spurs in November 1976, D'Antoni moved to Italy where he played 13 seasons for Milan and became the club's all-time leading scorer. In 1978, he tried out for the Chicago Bulls, but opted to remain in Italy, where he stayed until he was lured by the Nuggets to return to the NBA in 1997. He was voted the league's top point guard of all time in 1990 and he paced his team to five Italian League les, two Cups of Europe, two Cups of Italy, one Korac Cup and one Intercontinental Cup. He was also selected to play on the Italian national team for the European Championships in 1989 and was a part of the Milan team that competed in the inaugural McDonald's Open in 1987.

    Isn't he still working for the Spurs? It would explain his dumb coaching and would be a superb CIA Pop move!

    Those 2 games were actually the last 2 games that D'Antoni played for an American team.

    Kobe Bryant has a much more personally embarrassing story to tell about Mike D'Antoni...

    IIRC he really wasn't that bad. He was a great player over in Italy winning lots of rings and what not.
