He's taken a bloody nose, a knee to the groin, and a check by Horry. He stood up and took it like a man.
He even made light of it during the Sager interview and he hasn't bad-mouthed the Spurs as of yet (as far as I know).
Nash should give some lessons to Stoudamire on how to handle things.
My respect for Nash just keeps growing.
If he keeps this up, I might just root for them IF they beat the Spurs.
He didn't take what Horry did like a man - he went after Horry like a little bitch. Javie (:lol big suprise on TD's foul calls?) had to hold him back ...Quote:

Classy man.
I admire him as well. The guy takes it and just keeps on coming. He doesn't seem to be big on trash talk. He's always been a humble guy as far as I can tell. Hopefully he'll get a ring one day...just not this year. :spin
Eh, I do have to commend him for watching his comments post game.
good actor, give the man a oscar and tell him stfu and sit down
I don't care about a player's "class" unless he donates his time and money to causes.
Look at what Braylon Edwards of the Cleveland Browns is doing. He deserves some attention from the NFL for what he is doing.
At any moment now a Suns fan will come in here and blow such a generous thread. :lol
That Kelly Leak is a stand up Dude!! :tu
nash is classy. so are all the SPurs players.
Gotta give him props for that. But I think we have seen the same type of behavior our of Manu.Quote:

In last night's post-game interview, Sager asked Nash about what he was thinking about doing to Horry when he got up after the foul. Nash said something like, "Well, I've been working on my 'guns,' and I figured I could score some points on a few combos to the chest."
FWIW, Nash's charity approaches KJ levels. He's building a pediatric cardiology ward for a Paraguayan hospital out of his own pocket. He gets embarrassed when people ask him about, though. Most players are irritating with their self-adulating charitable contributions, but people like Nash and Duncan keep it real fo sheezy.
Nash is awesome... awesome player and classy as hell. That's why it sucks even more that Horry flattened him.
There's a lot more to respect about Steve Nash than just the way he's comported himself in this series.
im suprised more people arent worried about an on court reprocution by nash.
when you piss that guy off he usually KILLS.
Nash is as tough as they come. RESPECT!

Nash is about the only respectable thing about the Phoenix Suns. Too bad his coach and the rest of his team are bitches who brought a must suspension on themselves.
Yeah you gotta love the guy, especially when he said he'd been working on his guns...

Nash is has always been alright in my book. Dude is a class act
Did anyone else see Nash mock Duncan after the phantom call under the basket? Duncan threw his arms out like he does after a foul and then Nash did the same thing, which lead to Duncan giving him a few words as Nash walked to the line.
Great exchange, just wish it would have pissed Duncan off enough to score at the end of the game. Easy to say he choked, but he had to feel like if he touched anyone he would get his 6th foul, makes it hard to be Duncan when he can't touch anyone.
F Steve Nash. This is the playoffs.
Nash is ballsy, but anyone that thinks he should get respect for that "check" from Horry is retarded. Ive never seen a worse flop, you could tell on that play how much soccer the guy has played
Even timvp has to admit he's clutch....Quote:

I would love to see Nash in a Spurs uniform.
Yeah, Kobe was clutch too when the Spurs lost all those times to the Lakers. I didn't see Spurs fans kissing his azz and feeling sorry for him throughout the series.Quote:

OK, I'll expand: I don't feel sorry for Nash. He's the anti-Kobe.
Where Kobe is obnoxious, boastful and a ball-hog, Nash is quiet, un-assuming, and leads in assists.
Where Kobe gets in trouble with girls in hotel rooms, Nash doesn't get in trouble.
Plus, Kobe helped beat us three times in the playoffs. Until Nash does something against the Spurs, I can't hate him.
:toast

Nash gets away with more shit than any player I can remember in recent history. If the refs hadnt givin him so many bullshit calls last game he wouldnt have had as big of a impactQuote:

In no way is it right what Robert Horry did, however Nash did not need to fall down and throw his arms up like that.

Look, Spurs fans can still enjoy the games without hating every player, can't they?

Sad but true in corporate America.
So far Bowens actions havent affected the games outcome down the stretch. Not only did Nash's bullshit get every call from the refs, but his overreaction at the end of the game could very well lose your team two of your best guys.Quote:

Of course his teamates ran to his side, it looked like he had gotten hit by a car. Nash is a little f-in bitch. I had so much respect for him before this series, but after watching him this series, he is probably one of my least favorite players since John StocktonQuote:

Then the lineup adjustment leads to the Spurs getting demolished in Game 2. The Spurs bounce back with a Game 3 win and then all of a sudden the series is over again and Spurs fans feel sorry Nash because he's such a gutsy character who will get his feelings hurt when the Spurs beat them in five. Then the Spurs choke away Game 4 and Spurs fan blame the refs while they are quietly happy for the gritty Nash.

I just wish he didnt play against us in this series :toast
You can foul a guy however the fuck you want. Sorry that Nash is such a little pussy that he cant take a tiny check and falls on the ground crying harder than D'Antoni. SPin it yourself however you like, but Nash's overreaction got at least Diaw suspended.Quote:

You guys are priceless. You're so used to getting babied by the zebras that when a game is called squarely you start foaming at the mouth. Some of you anyway. Most Spurs fans are showing class. Those of you clamoring for an Amare suspension are just a disgrace.
Nash a flopper? No. Raja's a flopper. Manu's a flopper. A scrawny six-two guard getting rammed by a man twice is size while sprinting down the floor and he's supposed to what -- defy the laws of physics? Yes, clearly he dived into the table to get a flagrant after the game was already over -- no matter that he might have cracked his head open or ruined his back.
Seriously, it is clear from some of these posts that highschool physics teachers are failing miserably in their efforts to teach America's youth.
Go google "Newton" and see what pops up.
Yeah, its hard not to love Nash...unless he's shredding your team's defense late in the fourth quarter of a playoff game. :lolQuote:

I already said that the Spurs blew the game, I never said that the refs gave the game to the Suns. All I said was the Suns shot twice the amount of fts as the Spurs at the SPurs house, so yea, the refs played a part. With that said though, the SPurs played like utter garbage the last 4 minutes or so and the Suns earned the win. Doesnt mean I have to like Nash thoughQuote:

I think there were 5 calls against TD in a row that sapped the aggression right out of him. Fantastic
Not to mention the and 1 that Barbosa got at the end of the game when he initiated the contact on TonyQuote:

Velocity?Quote:

Spurs fans whining about refs now is the ultimate in hypocrisy.
I am suggesting that Nash has a tendency to a.) get every offensive foul call in the world and b.) bounce back up after taking every charge. But suddenly he gets hit by Horry, who's no bruiser himself and hasn't been known as an enforcer during his career, and he's sprawled out on the floor as if he just went 3 rounds with Mike Tyson?Quote:

Old Katelyn was little hot to trot let's just say that week.
Did you see him take Bruce Bowen down from behind earlier in the game? Fuck him. He's a good player, doing what he can get by with to help his team win, and I'll acknowledge that. And he is smart enough not to say something in the post-game interview to hurt the team - fine. But I don't have to give him any "props" for it. Take that shit to a Suns fan site.
please stood like a man...............he went to FIGHT horry.................
Quick! Make a guess as to whether I'm complaining about the officiating in game 3 or 4! I suggest that rather than trolling the forums of other teams, you learn to focus on the matter at handQuote:
