Played 1 quarter vs the warriors a couple days ago and started feeling pain in his back and legs.


Guessing Jeremy Lin will be the starter by the regular season tip off

Welcome to 2 seasons ago OP

Well...op has a point. A lot of Laker fans (myself included) were counting on Nash being at least serviceable...15-20 minutes of solid play, getting assists and hitting the open jumper. He looked pretty good in his first preseason game.

But this isn't good when you consider that he's about as well rested as he's going to be. This isn't a stamina or getting into game shape deal (like Kobe)...this is him having physical issues from past injuries and he most likely done.

If he can't play a single quarter in a preseason game where you play twice a week what's he going to do in the regular season? Play one out of every five games? That's no good and will just ruin chemistry.

I thought everybody knew this by now. Nash should've retired 2 seasons ago but he continues playing only for the money.

[Draz]

He's milking it. Obviously he's done. Been done. Trash bag. Greedy selfish ****. But I don't blame him.

[Cold soul]

Steve Nash has been done now going on two years. Time to retire already.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

He been done
most overrated player in history. Not even a top 50 player of alltime and is barely a top 10 PG

Perfect example of dumbarse laker fans.

This is from last year.

Barely top 10?

[SamuraiSWISH]

Been done since Lakers booted them in the playoffs in 2010. He should've retired after the 2012 season. Dude is sticking around way too long. Go play in China or something. Body is breaking down on him, and he was a terrible defender to begin with. Liability out there.

He misses that phoenix training staff. Shame to see him crippled like this

[RoseCity07]

I think it's kinda sad because even at 40 he shouldn't be having all these problems. He should have built up a strong core and done leg training. He can't even play 10 minutes a game?

Um Nash is in great shape. Including a tight core. Watch his documentary on Grantland. Has nothing to do with it. Just tons of mileage, and not a body that could sustain that kind of rigorous elite athletic activity for 82 games.
