Who else wants to see Steve Nash get a ring?

  • sleeper
    Count me in. The guy is a baller.

    What other players do you want to see win a championship? Also, what players do you NOT want to see win a championship?

    Boozer comes to mind as a player I don't want to see win a championship.
  • DeadliestWarrior34
    I second Boozer.
  • Ironman92
    Just a complete shock on the Boozer vote. Lol

    Still so butthurt.
  • Midstate01
    I 3rd boozer. Hated him forever, he played at puke.

    And I'd like to see Nash get a ring. But doubt it happens.

    Another vote for boozer, he can go fuck himself. Same with dwight.

    Nash? Meh. He got two MVPs --- one of which (the second) was pure bullshit, so yeah. He's had his share of the limelight. Besides, there's something kind of sad about the whole "I spent the prime of my career in contention, but never got the big one...so now that I'm older, I'm gonna piggyback off other guys to get a ring before I retire!" mindset.

    Not as pathetic as the "I spent a couple years in contention, but never got the big one...so me and a couple buddies decided to play together so I could get a ring!" one that a certain other player used as a mindset, but still not something I cheer for.

    Indifferent on Nash.
    If he wins one that's great.
    If he never does that's great too.

    Eh, I'm not saying he would be the best player if he went to a contender next year but he would do his share of the work.

    He will be the starting PG wherever he goes, imo. Not sure that is quite the Karl Malone, Gary Payton route.

    I kinda agree, but one rumor I'd been hearing somewhere involved him and Miami, where he'd be the pure distributor on a team with huge scoring stars, which is where I was coming from. He'd definitely contribute in that situation, but it'd just come off as this "gotta get a ring and this is how to do it" thing. Reminds me of Karl Malone and Gary Payton going to the Lakers. Their failure made me happy.

    Now we need to find a way to reverse this post and my last one. Lol. Malone was injury-prone that final year, I think, but still averaged 13/9, which while not his career norms, was solid contributing. And Payton was healthy and reasonably solid (14 points, 5.5 assists). His later Miami stint was pathetic, though.

    Another vote for user loser boozer.

    Also I'll throw Dwight and Blake whiny Griffin's name in the hat. Griffin is quickly become one of my least favorite players to watch due to his QQing.

    Nash winning a ring is OK. I don't care either way. He's a good guy, so I'd be happy for him. But if he goes ringless, my life would still go on.

    Guys I DON'T want to see win a ring? There aren't too many. But I don't want to see Lamar Odom win another one. He's a hell of a player, but he went out like a bitch in LA.

    I couldn't care less who gets a ring. I just want my team to win. No player "deserves" a ring.

    This.


    They either earn one on a team or they don't.

    Steve Nash going to Miami could almost make me want to see Miami win another. Almost. Have always really liked his game and people I know seem to have something against him for winning 2 MVPs when he only should have one. I like to see good guys who play hard and are loyal win and Nash qualifies for all of them. Can't think of many others off the top of my head I'd like to see win one in basketball. Greg Oden would be one though.

    Hope this helps.

    It helps a lot....thanks. Reps

    I would be all about Nash getting a ring if he did it anywhere but Miami. Also, Dwight Howard never winning one would be ideal.
