New York, N.Y. (WYHU) - Family and friends are saying goodbye to the career of a once-respected basketball coach whose greed hijacked his prospects for future employment.

A Mass of Christian Burial for Mike D’Antoni of SoHo was held Friday morning at the Nativity of the Blessed Dollar Church on Park Avenue.

The remains of D’Antoni’s career were identified by Cleveland State University officials, who offered him a coaching job, last week.

D’Antoni’s career had been missing since it was kidnapped by a massive contract offer made by spoiled rich kid Knicks Owner James Dolan. 

D’Antoni’s spiritual adviser, Donald Trump, spoke about the frustrations of one having his cake and eating it, too.

“Greed is good.  I just made that up now.  Off the top of my head.  Yes….greed is good.  And Mike followed the greed.  And that was good.  What wasn’t good was his roster.  Frankly, that sucked.  And honestly, we found out that coaches don’t mean jack-shit if the roster sucks.

But I digress.

So now that Jimmy Dolan has said ‘You’re Fired’….I made THAT line up, too, incidently…only Cleveland State will hire him now.  Rest in peace Mike D’Antoni’s career.  Rest in peace.”

Close to one thousand people, representing all remaining Knicks season ticket holders, attended the funeral where there was standing room only.
