Steve Nash Doesn’t Care If He Wins An NBA Title
SPORTSbyBROOKS —
The Phoenix Suns go to all that trouble to bring in the Big Cactus , and now Steve Nash says he doesn’t even care if he gets a title. The Suns star spoke with Michael Wilbon on ESPN’s Sunday Conversation , and told the Worldwide Leader that it wouldn’t bother him if he ended his NBA career ringless: Wilbon: “Do you need a championship ring for some sort of athletic validation?” Nash: “No, I mean, I don’t. I don’t really care if it does or doesn’t, you know. I’m going for it.

The pick and roll at the top has always been the Suns bread and butter, but then Shaq arrived, and that butter made ya put on an ugly face. Shaq picking and roliing wasn’t working. And, even when the screen was set by Stoudemire, the Big Diesel seemed to get in the way. Steve Nash was having trouble adapting to the big fella. Nash was playing with a dominant big man for the first time in his career, and D’Antoni was putting this big man in a position where he wasn’t going to be ...

... consistently rated 10-15 spots behind Walker on lots of draft boards. If D.J. Strawberry can't get off the bench, what is Hairston gonna do? Oh, I know, go play with the Mercury!
Instead of Hairston, Kerr cut a deal with Phoenix's best friend and completely honest competitor, the Spurs. They got some Euro who may be their point guard in a few years. Yeah, those years. Eons into the future. I bet Hairston turns out to be the next Scottie Pippen.
R.I.P. Steve Nash. Good thing you don't care about getting a ring. Cause this draft just cemented that ...
