Steve Nash talks about expectations for Lakers
Lakers point guard Steve Nash joined the show to talk about adjusting to his new team and more.
Nash said that the key to getting the deal done was the Suns’ willingness to let him go. “They were gracious enough to do it,” Nash said.
Nash talked about his skill level at this age. “I kind of feel like a cougar,” Nash said. “Not too old to not draw interest, but overlooked because of experience and age.”
Nash tried to temper the expectations just a bit for the Lakers, comparing them to the first year of the Big Three in Miami. The Heat needed a season to get to know each other. “This year we’re not going to have that luxury like Miami did,” Nash said.
Nash thinks the Heat are your NBA favorite this year. “They should be the favorite,” Nash said. “They’re a terrific team. Having that experience is going to be huge for them. “
