Veteran sharpshooter Nick Young enjoyed his days playing for Houston Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni.

Mike D’Antoni is known for employing unique offenses, which has earned him the reputation of being an offensive connoisseur. D’Antoni’s tenure with the Houston Rockets has been further proof, as his system has contributed to James Harden’s yearly increases in scoring from 2016-2019, which were each of MDA’s first three seasons in Houston.

Regardless of which players have been on the roster, the Rockets have led the league in 3-pointers in each of D’Antoni’s four seasons at the helm.
