Who could argue that two time NBA MVP and eight time All-Star -- Steve Nash lacks dedication and loyalty as starting point guard for the Phoenix Suns?
After rejoining with the Suns since the 2004-05 season, Nash has given more than 100% effort in hopes of achieving his ultimate goal...of being crowned an NBA champion; so far and so long in waiting for [his] taste of champagne bubbly.
Like many great players before and no doubt after him, Nash does not want to go out like the great Charles Barkley - not a champion. And with 15 years in the game, Steve Nash seems to be getting tired of waiting for his time to shine [in] the sun, and with the Suns. A 38 year old free agent this summer, Nash indicated that unless the Suns make some positive improvements, he'd give Lebron James a listen regarding ballin' with the Miami Heat!
"I would listen," he said. "(James) is phenomenal. I love what they're doing there. A lot of people don't like them because they put all that talent there. But they're professional, they play hard, they play together. Their coaching staff has done a great job, so I have a tremendous amount of respect for them." ~Steve Nash
If Nash does end up runnin' with the Heat, it won't be for the 'dough'; the Heat just can't afford it. But considering what we know about the heart, passion and relentless 'b-ball style' of Nash, he'd likely give up a few dead presidents' for the chance to be considered, not only one of the greatest, but finally, a great NBA champion (assuming that could happen with Miami).
Steve Nash - 15 year NBA Pro 'Baller'
"People have always doubted whether I was good enough
to play this game at this level. I thought I was, and I thought I could
be. What other people thought was really always irrelevant to me."
