Ever since Mike D’Antoni was hired as Lakers coach, Magic Johnson has been very critical of the hire. Over the past years, he has tweeted and commented on television about his displeasure with D’Antoni’s capabilities for that job.
At some point, he must’ve realized that he was saying too much because he vowed to stop bashing D’Antoni.
After news broke last evening that D’Antoni quit the Lakers (after quitting the Knicks two years prior), Magic couldn’t contain his excitement:
Happy days are here again! Mike D'Antoni resigns as the Lakers coach. I couldn't be happier!
