One day in the early 90s, then-Husky basketball coach Lynn Nance said to himself, "You know, I'm pretty happy with Prentiss Perkins and Bryant Boston at guard," and declined to offer a scholarship to a young Canadian and UW fan named Steve Nash.
And a damn good thing, too.
Nash, as we all saw Sunday afternoon, will do anything to stay off the court in crunchtime, including spontaneous hemophilia.
Gutless. Just gutless.
The 92-93 Huskies got along just fine without Nash's cowardice; while he was leading Santa Clara to a West Coast Conference championship and a historic NCAA first round upset over Arizona, the Huskies were sitting mighty pretty with their 7-11 Pac-10 record, thank you very much.
The winner of the San Antonio/Phoenix series will probably be the NBA champion. Game 1 (a 111-106 Spurs win) was fantastic. Game 2 is Tuesday at 7:30 pm on TNT.



Whoever wrote this article is an absolute and complete moron. You are obviously just writing these comments to get a rise out of people, and have no journalistic competence. Everyone single person saw Steve trying to get on that floor…coward isn’t even in Steve Nash’s vocabulary. If there was a coward in that situation, it would be Parker! You know nothing of this sport and have no respect for a great player and a great man who happens to be two time MVP.
Um... I think... and correct me if I'm wrong... that might, just might, have been... well... sarcasm?
I, myself, do think that Steve Nash has no heart. What the Suns really need is a player with guts and competetive fire, who won't let a little, three inch gash that's gushing blood from his exploding face slow him down. Somebody like... oh, say... Jerome James, or Sam Perkins, or... dare I say it: Former-UW superstar Mike Jensen.
Come on, Misti, turn your brain on.
Why is it the people without a sense of humor are always the ones who feel compelled to post?
But also: I think the Spurs won the game because of their brilliant, "Mash-a-Nash" gameplan.
Its called a joke
We who live with hemophilia are not called "bleeders", nor do we find "humor" is your remarks.
Yeah Kris, but the rest of us have a sense of humor, so cope.
You may have a sense of humor Tom, but obviously at others' expense.
