On ESPN.COM, the Associated Press reports “Knicks guard Jamal Crawford has changed his mind when it comes to his new coach. A phone call from Mike D’Antoni helped. D’Antoni, the former leader of the Phoenix Suns, became the first big hire of new Knicks president Donnie Walsh last month. ‘I just talked to him two days ago. Great guy. A proven winner,’ Crawford said of D’Antoni on Wednesday while visiting a minicamp practice of his hometown NFL team, the Seattle Seahawks.”
