Steve Nash a Laker is weird for L.A. fans, too

Steve Nash is a Laker. Repeat that phrase again. As a diehard Lakers fan, I never thought this could or would ever happen. All of us here in L.A. figured he would retire, ring-less as a Sun. I for one have always enjoyed the way Steve Nash played basketball. I never enjoyed how the Suns […]

Steve Nash is fine with him being a Laker even if you’re not

Steve Nash spent a good portion of his career doing everything he could to beat Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers, as the Suns had many a playoff battle with one of their biggest rivals. So it goes without saying his decision to join the dark side has a lot of Suns fans upset, […]

Steve Nash to the Lakers does not make it a bad offseason for the Suns

The Phoenix Suns absolutely should have traded Steve Nash at some point over the last two seasons. Their refusal to do so left them in the precarious position of possibly watching their star depart as a free agent this summer, leaving the team with nothing but fond memories. That may have been better than sending […]
