Report: Steve Nash to Join the Warriors as a Part-Time Consultant

by

Bring up the name Steve Nash to Lakers’ fans and prepare to get some blowback about draft picks, injuries, and, essentially, a bunch of regret. But, while Nash’s time on the court couldn’t have been more difficult, his time off it did lend itself to some Lakers’ success, especially when he started to work out […]

Steve Nash Pens Column and “Officially” Retires

by

Many Lakers’ fans (or maybe they’re a very vocal subset) would just as soon forget Steve Nash’s entire tenure as a Laker. After all, over his three year contract, he was only really fully healthy for a single game. After breaking his leg in his second regular season game, and then having his recovery and rehab […]

Steve Nash’s Open Letter to Lakers’ Fans

by

I don’t think Steve Nash owes anyone any explanations about how hurt he is or what he’s going through physically. While an instagram video of him hitting balls at the driving range caused a stir, it’s only a certain type of irrationality that would equate hitting a golf ball to being able to play basketball […]

Steve Nash’s season is over after back and nerve issues

by

I've been told @SteveNash will be ruled out for the entire 2014-15 NBA season with nerve issues: http://t.co/wur5txQ3Ar. #Lakers — KEVIN DING (@KevinDing) October 23, 2014 Maybe it was always going to end like this for Steve Nash. After years of having his back issues controlled and managed by the Suns training staff, maybe it […]

Seeking New Memories from the Man Fans Want to Forget

by

Steve Nash really is the forgotten man. Mostly because fans simply want to forget him. The bounty the Lakers surrendered to acquire Nash was scrutinized at the time, but was mostly justified considering the level of play he had exhibited the season before and the prospect of teaming him with Dwight Howard. But after missing […]

Grantland’s Documentary on Steve Nash Continues: Dinner with Dirk

by

I cannot get enough of these videos. Now that the season is over it is a bit easier to reflect on the games, the individual performances, and the storylines that go with them. Nash’s attempts to play, experiencing some successes and some failures, at least for me, resonate even more now. Seeing those clips of […]

Nash and Kobe may not play another game this year

by

ESPN Los Angeles’ Dave McMenamin first tweeted out the news that has seemed growingly inevitable as the season wears on- more likely than not, Steve Nash has played his last game this season. Mike D’Antoni says he “doubts” Steve Nash plays again this season, but wouldn’t rule him out — Dave McMenamin (@mcten) March 3, […]

Video: Grantland’s “The Finish Line” Chronicles Steve Nash’s Season

by

This has, undoubtedly, been the most difficult season of Steve Nash’s hall of fame career. The nerve root irritation stemming from the broken leg he suffered last season has dragged into this season, making him unavailable for all but 10 games this season. He’s tried multiple treatments, taken leave from the team to train with […]

Report: Steve Nash Suffering from Nerve Root Irritation in Back

by

Steve Nash couldn’t finish Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves after experiencing pain in his back. When the 2nd half started, Nash remained in the locker room and after the game he said he would see a back specialist to get more information. Well, the news is back and it doesn’t sound promising: The Lakers announce […]
