Steve Nash on Staying Home

“The truth is I don’t really deserve it,” Nash said of being selected for the All-Star Game. “The team’s in seventh place (in the West). Maybe if we were in fourth or fifth, it’d be a different story. There are others who are more deserving.”

    wow

    humble dude, though he can just jump the fence at his house and get to the game. No structural damage to rock

  • Tzvi T Posted: Jan.30 at 9:34 am
    He looked okay last night against the Spurs, but def. not All-Star worthy

    Shrewd move by the Canadian.

    stay classy Nash.

  • Darksaber Posted: Jan.30 at 10:17 am
    nice.

  • Mendel Posted: Jan.30 at 10:34 am
    Good, I’m glad he’s staying home. He looks like an alien.

    The white Sam Cassel

    He could use the rest with their dearth of guards. Why does Shaq get the days off even for big games but Nasty Nash gets to tough it out? Politics. And Nash is green party.

    “So instead I will go out and bust the Spurs for 16 points and 18 assists”

    Shaq plays for the exact same team, so…

    Nice to hear someone not complain about being snubbed.

  • TADOne Posted: Jan.30 at 12:19 pm
    “Dude, have you seen my wife?! I’m straight.” Nash did not necessarily say.

  • Josh D Posted: Jan.30 at 2:19 pm
    Wow, this guy is honest

  • nbk Posted: Jan.30 at 3:56 pm
    Tad last I heard Nash got caught cheating on his wife and they were going to get a divorce..if not he got caught cheating and she doesnt care

    was he supposed to cry about it? i think it’ll only fuel him to make even better Vitamin Water commercials.

  • Jackie Moon Posted: Jan.30 at 6:20 pm
    Nash also said “I’m not crying. It’s just raining on my face. Also, I have two MVP awards. I refuse to give them back! MINE!”

    Steve Nash is the greatest embassador for the NBA of all time. He reiterates his thoughts honestly, directly and with more professionalism than any other person since Clyde Drexler. He understands he is not bigger than the NBA, or the fans or the opinions of his peers. He endevours to display the utmost respect for everyone he plays against (even if your a Spur) and not only tries to excel on the hardwood but in life generally. Each and every day. If every young kid tried to emulate Steves’ work ethic and integrity the entire world would be a better place.

    one luv nash…

  • Jukai Posted: Jan.30 at 11:23 pm
    NBK, last I heard you should stop reading newspaper tabloids.
    Plus I’m not surprised he didn’t make it. The dude’s averaging like 12 assists and 16 points in February, but the rest of the season hasn’t been terribly good for him.
    The Al Jefferson snub was way worse. David West… wtf?

  • ClydeSays Posted: Jan.31 at 5:20 pm
    Mo Williams, did you read that quote?

  • Gerard Himself Posted: Feb.2 at 11:57 am
    I salute Dacre. Post of the day.

  • Gerard Himself Posted: Feb.2 at 11:57 am
    Although he posted it a couple of days back….

  • Gerard Himself Posted: Feb.2 at 11:59 am
    I meant: couple of days “ago”. I should read my posts first before I post ‘em.

  • jay Posted: Feb.2 at 12:59 pm
    gotta love nash
