As New York Red Bulls head coach Bruce Arena briefed his team prior to training Thursday, he had an extra bit of instruction for the players: Don't tackle No. 13. "I think he was kind of looking at me," joked midfielder Danny O'Rourke, who is known for his physical play. That No. 13 happened to be Phoenix Suns point guard and two-time reigning NBA MVP Steve Nash, who surprised the Red Bulls by participating in a full practice with the side at Giants Stadium. "That [came] kind of out of nowhere when we were sitting in the locker room and all of a sudden, [Red Bull New York director of communications Eric] Tosi comes by and says, 'Steve Nash is training with us today,'" said defender Marvell Wynne. "I kind of did a double take." "My biggest concern was him getting hurt," Arena said. "A friend of mine is one of the assistants at Phoenix so I don't want to send back the MVP of the NBA in an ambulance." Instead of getting hurt, Nash said he had the time of his life. He participated in all of the Red Bulls' warm-up drills, featured in possession drills and was able to crack some shots in on goal - many of which hit the target. Afterwards, Nash was full of praise for the Red Bulls. "They just were great," Nash said. "They really made it easy for me, they made it a lot of fun for me. They're lucky, they have a great group of guys. They seem to have a good time, but are very focused and I think that's probably comes down to Bruce a lot." His fitness from being a top NBA player served him well on Thursday, as Arena noted. "I think he could probably play in this league. Obviously, he's a superbly conditioned athlete," Arena said. "The way you watch him play in the NBA, he's a point guard that probably plays over 40 minutes a game and you see his fitness level is good on the soccer field as well." Nash, whose brother is a professional soccer player and has featured for the Canadian national team, said that he grew up in a household that loves soccer. His father, too, played professionally, but in eighth grade, with North America's infatuation with Michael Jordan, Nash chose basketball over soccer as his primary sport. </div> http://redbull.newyork.mlsnet.com/ML...=.jsp&team=rbn lol maybe Nash should sign for Chelsea for 50 Million pounds
