Steve Nash doesn't care if he wins an NBA le

[freemeat]

While I agree that he doesn't need an NBA le to validate his career -- it's been great -- this reminded me of Nash's interview on the Dan Patrick show a few months ago.

With the Super Bowl coming up, and it being played so closely to Phoenix, Patrick asked, "what major sporting event would you most like to take part in?"

He didn't skip a beat when he answered, "the World Cup or the Masters."

I was shocked when he didn't answer what most NBA players would say -- The Finals.

that's a smart answer actually

if he says the Finals, then it reopens this debate again, that he needs a ring to validate his career

plus he really loves soccer, and is pretty good with what I have seen, so it would be neat for him to be at the top level of another sport. Isn't it the same reason Jordan left the NBA for (though I understand he had won a le)

He'd have bled all over the court in game one if the rules had only allowed him to finish. It was the "Cut me, Mick" moment of last year's playoffs. He likely wants it as much as anything in his sports life, but he's not going to let its absence define his stellar career. A part of me wishes he would, but maybe that's because i want to experience a Suns le more than anything in the world. I've watched my favorite Sun of all-time, Kevin Johnson, have his career cut short by injury and come up just short if winning that le. I'd hate for my second-favorite Sun to come up just short as well. The reason people say your the most deserving is because of the amount of time/energy/life you've put into something without being rewarded with the ultimate prize. Nash is certainly amongst the most deserving current players.

+100 faith points for your allusion to Rocky.
