    Would you rather win a gold medal for England in the Olympics or win a championship with Portland?

    Don't make the guy answer that! He would say both equally.

    Might have better luck if you rephrased it to be: Which would be an bigger thrill, winning a Gold Medal for England or winning a championship with Portland?

    Probably would still get the same answer though.

    Ask him if he can ever see a thick cloud of smoke in the locker room?

    I would have bet you'd be asking him about video games.

    When is your next fight on-court with a white nonAmerican from an English-speaking country?

    Using your fingers and toes, tell us how many basketball fans Britain has.

    God save the Queen, or the Blazers?

    Crappier weather, Farnham or Portland?

    Are there fake tough guys like Garnett and Bogut in England? How do you determine if it's a scrap versus a tantrum, or do you just assume any outburst on a basketball court is a tantrum?

    What's the biggest adjustment you had to make going from Euro culture to Portland "culture"?

    Why don't you just play these teams yourself?

    I don't think we are talking repeat threepeat or even a fourpeat. What are your thought on a minimum eightpeat blazer championship run?

    I'd like to ask Joel how Mexican food in Oregon stands up to Spanish Food in Spain? Which does he prefer?

    Are landlords in Portland meaner than in England? What about astronomers?

    who (aside from your obvious hard work) has been the most important in your development this year? Hughes? Stotts? LMA? Sports Psychologist? Watching tapes of Ewing?

    What changes in the international game would you like to see in the NBA, if any? Goaltending allowed on the rim?

    Do you think an expansion NBA franchise in London would be viable in London in the next 10 years? What other cities would you go to to fill out a 4-or-5-team division?

    Who's the best player you've played against (or in Europe) who's not in the NBA?

    Can a Euro-style coach (like Blatt) make it in the NBA, or would they be too strict or not flexible enough?
