Would you consider playing in the MLS? A Nash-Gerrard midfield would be pretty cool at LA Galaxy!

Hey Steve! Great fan of yours! You obviously had to overcome a lot in your career like Dirk said, like being oft-injured, slow, white, and unathletic. Can you speak about how hard it was to overcome that challenge?

I hope he answers this, but one thing the Rockets are already doing more than other teams, is not just shooting 3s, but shooting 3s well beyond the 3-point arc for increased spacing. Both Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon will shoot 3s several feet beyond the 3-point arc on either wing. They probably drop a few percentage points off their % by taking a few steps back, but it stretches the court and makes the defense have to cover even more ground when they are closing out.

Case in point, as a Celtics fan this year watching the national TV Celtics-Rockets game, you can see a few times in this highlight that Jayson Tatum is entirely unprepared for the fact that Eric Gordon is going to shoot 3s well beyond the arc, he is in normal 3-point guarding position.

Hi Steve, great fan of yours! How do you feel about the belief across the league that Mike D'Antoni and yourself revolutionized the NBA with Seven Seconds Or Less teams and embracing the value of the 3-point shot, and what do you think is the next great tactical trend in the NBA?

Besides Chris Paul, which off-season acquisition were you most proud of?
