Mike D'Antoni is emphasizing defense during his first training camp as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.
D'Antoni has been known as a good offense coach with a lackadaisical approach on defensive matters.
"I would say 99.9 (percent) on defense and 0.1 on offense," D'Antoni said with a sarcastic smile. "Does that satisfy you guys?"
"It seems like he's harping a little bit more on defense now," Shawne Williams, who played for D'Antoni with the New York Knicks. "He's spending more time on defense. It used to just be a lot of offense and he used to try to tell us, 'Defense comes from within,' but now, everything starts with defense and then we let that dictate the offense."
