He played the majority of his career with the Italian team Olimpia Milano.
After former head coach Mike Brown had been fired, he was hired by the Lakers during the 2012-2013 season.
D’Antoni was born in Mullens, West Virginia, and played basketball at Marshall University. His father was a high school basketball coach in West Virginia and Ohio, and was inducted into West Virginia’s Sports Hall of Fame. His older brother Dan coached under him as an assistant in Phoenix, New York, and Los Angeles. Both Mike (1997) and Dan (1990) have been enshrined in the Marshall University Athletics Hall of Fame.
On November 12, 2012, the Lakers signed D’Antoni to a three-year contract worth $12 million. He replaced Mike Brown, who was fired as head coach after a 1–4 start to the 2012–13 season. The Lakers first contacted former Lakers coach Phil Jackson about the opening, but D’Antoni was hired in a unanimous decision by the Lakers front office. The Lakers felt that D’Antoni’s fast-paced style of play made him a “great fit” for the team, more suitable than Jackson’s structured triangle offense. Lakers owner Jerry Buss’s preference has always been for the Lakers to have a wide-open offense. D’Antoni was reunited with Nash, who was traded to the Lakers before the season. Lakers star Kobe Bryant was also familiar with D’Antoni; Bryant as a child knew him when D’Antoni was a star in Italy and Bryant’s father was also playing there. Bryant grew close to D’Antoni during their time with Team USA.
In the summer of 2012, D’Antoni returned to Team USA as an assistant coach again under head coach Mike Krzyzewski. He reunited with Knicks players Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler on this team as they prepared for the 2012 London Summer Olympics.
