The Players Tribune<\/a> on Saturday morning. \"I heard someone once say there comes a day when they tell us all that we can\u2019t play anymore. We\u2019re not good enough. Surplus to requirements. Too slow, maybe. When you\u2019re a teenager with outsized dreams and a growing obsession, and someone tells you this ain\u2019t gonna last forever, it\u2019s scary. I never forgot it.\"<\/p>\nSomething I'll never forget is when I first saw the #15 draft pick play some garbage minutes for the Suns during a TNT game in the 96-97 season. I remember thinking how fast and crafty he looked and how he would probably never get any minutes playing on a team with a still productive Kevin Johnson and All-Star Jason Kidd. I was right. Then after his second season, he was traded to the Mavs for a future 1st round pick and table scraps. The rest is history.<\/p>\n
In honor of the five-time NBA assist leader, who is sitting behind only John Stockton and Jason Kidd on the all-time Assists leader list, here are a few of my favorite Nash moments.<\/p>\n
