      I was ahead of the curve playing with Steve Nash in Live 2003. I basically had him doing Steph Curry’s career back then. He was way too good of a shooter not to just fire away.

      The video game counterpart of that 02-03 Mavs team was a modern NBA dream. Dirk obviously goes without saying but Raef LaFrentz was a 3&D center and you legitimately could play 5-out with them. They had shooters everywhere on the wings too.
