I don'...Sun, that's an interesting thought. I don't know if Lakers players are worried about that or not, but if I were a player I couldn't help but wonder if I'm getting a portion of a book about me when Nash retires. Especially if I were a guy like Kobe who likes to control his image and can be a real dick.

It might make Nash's teammates glance over and think "Wonder what he's said/going to say about me?"<br /><br />I know that most guys are professionals--Kobe played for Phil Jackson less than a year after that book, of course. But if Bill really wanted to avoid undercutting Nash's leadership he wouldn't have brought up the story at all. He might have had to write a shorter column about Nash's comeback attempt, though, and obviously he was trying to avoid that.your favourite sunhttp://www.bubblews.com/account/40776-bizwebfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-83544528878366118352014-02-24T16:39:29.889-05:002014-02-24T16:39:29.889-05:00Slag, Bill is very serious and this is a serious d...Slag, Bill is very serious and this is a serious discussion about Steve Nash. Well, that and the Celtics cap situation 20 years ago. <br /><br />I just love his use of italics. It's not like I don't use italics, but his use of italics always makes me chuckle.

Why does he have to write such snide comments filled with innuendos that will fill the Simmons-sphere with chortling back-slaps and knowing, leering winks?<br /><br />His writing is worse than the Weekly World News articles by the simple premise that he sees himself as a serious writer.Slag-Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675587994618760072noreply@blogger.com
