Odd timing considering what was written
About Kobe by ESPN destroying the Lakers future
Nash was quoted in the article with not
So complimentary things to say about his time with Kobe
Jeannie Buss performing immediate damage control
And promising whatever internal sources quoted in article found
They would no longer be employed by the Lakers
So either a meeting of heads bumped or Nash flat out
Told them I'm not playing this season
Under these circumstances with this jerk of a player
Not a good way to end career if so
Nash was complaining about back problems days before that Henry Abbott article showed up. Conspiracy much? It would be really stupid if the league operated like that. I would probably stop watching basketball altogether. Nash is his own man and being critical of a teammate is not all that different from Kobe being critical of his teammates. Kobe was the one who told Dwight Howard to develop thick skin in that infamous meeting that the Abbott article mentioned and was to blame for it being the reason why Howard walked away from the Lakers. The Abbott article was unprofessionally written from a professional sports journalist. The dude's rich by now not to care what he writes about even it states no known sources other than 'hearsay'.
