Check this out, it's Wilbon talking to Nash, it's good stuff.

Try not to overreact to his last comment, though. But yeah, good interview.

Yeah, espn radio was making a big deal about his not caring comment. I think it was taken in the wrong context and completely blown out of proportion. Anyone who watches Nash play knows he cares about winning. He was just trying to downplay the importance of winning a ring. I think it's extremely important to him.

He just came off of a statement where he said he would basically leave it all on the floor.. If that didnt produce a championship he isnt gonig to care about it anymore ... Doesnt want to have to go thru anger management classes cause he didnt win a championship... its life. get over it

I saw part of this interview during the Spurs game and of course BSPN will blow everything out of proportion.

Yeah, I did not care. To me, it seemed like the guy was greatful for what he has, and that his life will go on, and do bigger and better things. I know he wants to win it, but he plays it cool, but you know the guy is giving it his all to win it.

If there's one guy who leaves it all on the floor EVERY night it's Nash...that last comment was just a laxed answer I wouldn't look too much into it, that's Nash.

i actually read ALOT into nash's comment

ALOT that we should all learn from that is.......

Its a game, not war. The whole point is to give 300%, give all you have, try your absolute tail off to be the best you can be, but if your best isnt as good as someone elses best, or you fail for other reasons, it doesnt make your life worse, it doesnt mean all the truly important things in your life like family, friends etc are gone, it just means you didnt win a basketball championship

but you go home, and do what you can to win a "life" championship by being the best person, father, son, leader, community member that you can be

I am as die hard as fans get, but winning ISNT everything at the end of the day.

Obviously im a little clucky being a new father and all but you know I wouldnt trade my son for 100 suns championships, so if we dont win one, i just need to look at him to be happy

thats how insignificant it all really is in the scheme of things

:clap:

to nash for being man enough to say it

i thought ppl made a big deal out of it.

i think he just meant, he's not jumping off a cliff if he doesn't win.

i mean chuck didn't win a championship, and despite the crazy things he says on tnt, he seems like a dude that is really enjoying life and giving back to the community.

i think nash is grateful to be where he is at in his career, because he's gone through a lot..and you know, he was robbed last year!

That is how ESPN makes money... blowing plays or remarks out of proportion.
