There’s really nothing to add here, except for the fact that Steve Nash is luckier than most of us would ever be. But check out how terrified he is up there. Did he not know what a lap dance was? I bet he did that same frantic look around when Amare’ went to the Knicks. Come on, Steve Nash. Act like you’ve been there before.
Back in December, when the Orlando Magic and Phoenix Suns completed a trade involving 6 players, Steve Nash Tweeted that he was sad to see Earl Clark go. That’s probably because Earl Clark never banged his wife. Jason Richardson, on the other hand… well that’s possibly a whole different story. The gossip blog circuit fired up yesterday after some rumors surfaced implicating Richardson as the cause for Nash’s sudden divorce, also in December.
Nash and his wife of 5 years, Alejandra Amarilla, were divorced just one day after she gave birth to their third child, and The Jersey Chaser is reporting without, you know, sources that Richardson is actually the father. For additional information, please see: Me, Myself & Irene.
When Shaquille O’Neal signed with the Boston Celtics for a two-year contract to presumably close out his career, it marked the sixth team that he would play for in his illustrious career as one of the most dominant centers in the game. And seeing as he has a tendency to leave his previous fan bases less than thrilled with his words, the Big Thrower Under the Bus is trying his hardest to be a popular fella in Beantown. For the past few weeks he’s been popping up all over town, quick with a smile and glad to take pictures with everyone, which is what he did over the weekend when he crashed a couple’s wedding.
According to NESN.com, Shaq waltzed into the wedding of Kristen and Wes Schifone, who were of course thrilled to have the superstar interrupt. He took pictures with the wedding party and guests, and he even showed up the next morning for brunch, with a reporter from the Boston Globe. Later, he traveled to Aruba for their honeymoon with a photographer from Swank.
But is Shaq’s mouth still getting him bad press after the jump?
Steve Nash did this ad for a certain sports drink company which looks a lot like “Space Ghost: Coast To Coast,” which was a funny concept back in its day. It’s a cartoon superhero hosting a late-night talk show, except all of his guests come in via teleconference. Oh, and look how he berates each one! So humorous.
Anyway, I always wondered how they captured that footage of the “guest.” It’s obviously not beamed in. I wonder if they told Steve that he was doing a telethon for Muscular Dystrophy or something. We should rip on MD more; it seems like they always get a pass when it comes to disease comedy. –via Sportress of Blogitude.
2 time NBA MVP Steve Nash has a chance to get his team even with the Lakers tonight in Phoenix. Nash has been getting his ass kicked all playoffs, and that trend continued Sunday night. In a move that some people mistook for a pick instead of an itch, Nash moved his broken nose back into place during the game. Video after the jump.
The addition of Shaquille O’Neal to the Cleveland Cavaliers obviously overshadows the subtraction of same from the Phoenix Suns. And now a report from Tim Povtak on Fanhouse indicates that the influence of Suns point guard Steve Nash was one of the primary reasons Phoenix pulled the trigger on the five-player deal that sent Shaq to Cleveland:
According to an NBA source, Nash expressed his displeasure with O’Neal during a meeting last week in New York with general manager Steve Kerr.
Nash, still one of the best point guards in the NBA, will become a free agent after this season if the Suns can’t sign him this summer to a contract extension.
“I think he told him [Kerr] that if O’Neal was there, [Nash] wouldn’t be around much longer,” said the NBA source who requested his name not be used. “That pretty much sealed it.”
Obviously Shaq’s lumbering presence in the lane doesn’t really mesh with the run-and-gun style that the Suns have been known for of late. But also consider that Phoenix missed the playoffs last year and that O’Neal is scheduled to make $20 million in ’09-10, it makes even better sense for that team. And think how much legroom is freed up on the team bus now. Yeah, Steve Nash rules that team with an iron fist. A girly, Canadian iron fist, but iron nonetheless.
