Steve Nash

Let’s get something straight: Trading Pau Gasol would be a mistake for the Los Angeles Lakers. At least right now. Not just because Steve Nash wants to play alongside him and not just because the Lakers owe it to their newly constructed team to see if the current dynamic works, but also because Los Angeles [...]

Oklahoma City’s most talented hoop artist is looking to join a very exclusive group: the 50-40-90 club. Larry Bird, Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Dirk Nowitzki, and Steve Nash make up this club of players who have achieved 50% from the field, 40% from three, and 90% at the freethrow line for a full season. That [...]

The saga that is the future of Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol continues. Rumors have begun swirl, most of which state that the Lakers are interested in dealing the struggling Gasol.

Obviously, for a franchise with [...]

Brooklyn is currently 10-4 and sitting atop the Atlantic Division—they have their victory over the New York Knicks to thank for that. So why not get excited? This is the team’s first season not only in the Barclays center, but together in general. [...]

When watching the Los Angeles Lakers, it doesn’t take long to see that they’re missing something or rather, someone. That someone is Steve Nash. It seems fairly obvious. After all, Nash is a perennial All-Star who can give you 15 points and 10 assists per game. Yet his value to Los Angeles doesn’t stop there. [...]

Heading into the game, these teams had identical records. On paper, the Lakers are Hall of Fame; the Rockets are Sixth Man of the Year. But when the Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets took the floor of the Staples Center Sunday night, there was a playoff-type atmosphere. Both teams were there to win. [...]

Let’s cave to peer pressure and talk about the Los Angeles Lakers. And Mike D’Antoni. And Kobe Bryant. And what this team has the ability to do.
