Deadspin: Steve Nash

Justin Bieber, Like Everyone Else, Is Capable Of Beating Steve Nash Off The Dribble

Emma Carmichael — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:25:00 EDT

A few days ago, Justin Bieber shared a video with the world that alleges to show Justin Bieber crossing up Steve Nash. We understand that this is pointless, because Nash regularly allows non-teen pop stars to cross him up (and it doesn't even seem to be recent, as Nash wasn't a part of Ludacris's charity basketball game this past weekend)—but it is still, without a doubt, the most exciting thing to happen in Canadian hoops in recent memory. So please join us in scoffing at it. More »

An Analysis Of Steve Nash's Emotions As He Becomes The Latest Nicki Minaj Lap Dance Victim

Luke O'Brien — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 11:30:24 EDT

First, Chris Paul. Now, Steve Nash. Is no point guard safe from Nicki Minaj's candy-colored backside? Regard Nash's face as he receives a "lapdance" from the songstress last night at U.S. Airways Center. There is much to learn here about human behavior. More »

Canadian Hero Steve Nash Pumps Up Fellow Canadians At Canadian MLS Game

Kate Shapiro — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 14:50:00 EDT

Steve Nash attended the Vancouver Whitecaps' first regular season game this weekend and, almost on his own, totally pumped up the crowd. The part-owner stands up in a personalized MLS jersey and waves a scarf back and forth, to the utter delight his countrymen. If inspiring the home crowd was Nash's main goal, he was at least partially successful: most of the Whitecaps fans are videotaping Nash on their cell phones rather than watching the start of the game. Vancouver went on to beat Toronto FC, 4-2. More »

David Matthews — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 17:00:00 EDT

In an interview with SB Nation Arizona, Steve Nash looked at the Suns' roster and declared, "if I was outside this picture and a betting man, I would probably pick us to be outside of the playoffs." What does this mean? More »

Shaq Gets First Career Steal

Barry Petchesky — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 19:30:00 EDT

Steve Nash Broken Up Over Raja Bell Trade

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:45:01 EST

The Phoenix Suns pulled the trigger on a five-player deal last night, that sends Raja Bell and Boris Diaw to Charlotte in exchange for human hang glider Jason Richardson. The move gives the Bobcats some defensive help and another point guard, while it brings the Suns a new scoring threat and also makes Steve Nash sad. More »

A Look At Steve Nash

Leitch — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 16:10:21 EDT

We're dangerously close to the start of the NBA season, with all its drama and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tale in the shadow of Jordan; who is the real alpha dog? It's this source of expression and personal comedy/tragedy that makes the game so compelling. There's nowhere to hide out there. More »

The Suns And Spurs Won't Stop Punching Each Other, And It's Awesome

Leitch — Tue, 15 May 2007 11:00:58 EDT

Did you ever wonder just how entertaining those old Knicks-Heat slugfest series could have been had, you know, the actual basketball being played was even slightly tolerable to the eyes? That what this Spurs-Suns series has become: Two amazing teams who play entirely different games trying to force the other team to bend to their will and ultimately just bashing each other in the face. It's awfully exciting to watch, particularly now that they're all tied up again. More »

Steve Nash, Definitely A Bleeder

Leitch — Mon, 07 May 2007 12:00:23 EDT

There are all kinds of disappointing ways for a tight, close NBA playoff game to end. A key player can be thrown out, a team can self-destruct, a naked man can run on the court ... there are all kinds of ways to transform a potential classic into a missed opportunity. But one of the worst has to be the star player being unable to stop his nose from bleeding. Even Spurs fans weren't happy with how that turned out. From Spurs blog Pounding The Rock: More »

After the Heat lost to Dallas on Thursday, a reporter engaged Shaq in conversation about Dirk Nowitzki's MVP candidacy. Shaq, sensing the opportunity to get some things off his chest, went off about how the award selection process and said that Steve Nash's last two MVP awards were "tainted." More »

Who Loves Ya, Baby?

Leitch — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 12:30:21 EDT

We find it hysterical that we live in a day and age that it's legitimately shocking news when a two-time NBA MVP shaves his head. We're not quite sure what Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash was thinking when he decided to shear all his locks, but we're imagining it involved either Molson or an extended discussion of socialism gone dangerously wrong.

Must give them credit today, though, because they dredged one up that was new to us: It's two-time MVP Steve Nash flashing his Robin Williams like there's no tomorrow. More »

That Was A Little Bit Of A Letdown

mjdeadspin — Sun, 07 May 2006 15:01:06 EDT

When Kobe Bryant only shoots the ball three times in the second half, and the team's second-leading scorer is Luke Walton, that can't be considered a positive sign for the Lakers. They might as well have been the Washington Generals last night. The only thing missing from the Suns 121-90 romp over the Lakers was Steve Nash throwing a bucket of confetti in Smush Parker's face.

Lakers Take 3-1 Series Lead

mjdeadspin — Sun, 30 Apr 2006 19:45:41 EDT

I've got a feeling that Suns fans are about to break into a terrific Seattle Seahawks fans impression. Kobe Bryant just buried a jumper from the elbow at the end of overtime to give the Lakers a 3-1 lead in their series against the Suns. More »
