There is an insider article called "We were wrong" about Nash, written by Hollinger.

Anyone got access? I'd love to read it.

It was on the front page on ESPN NBA page last night when I checked out the highlights. I just went to ESPN and it's now on the right top hand corner.

Read the Daily Dime they have a few paragraphs from it.

Basically about how they dogged the signing of Nash and that they are wrong.

Oh, you have to be an Inside to read more. I only read what's on that page.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Good, thanks guys...I got it.

The article basically says that everyone thought Nash was too old to be signing a six-year deal. But, if you look at the careers of Stockton, Cassell, and Kidd, all were/are very successful well into their mid/late thirties (and forties, in Stockton's case).

Hollinger contends that Nash's ability to shoot and pass allow him to be effective even if he loses some athleticism, unlike KJ, for instance, whose game was all about attacking the basket.

Hollinger should be an astrologist. He was way off, but still found an excerpt from the original offending column to show he wasn't really off, he just understated the most salient point (i.e. Nash is a great jump shooter and passer that doesn't rely on his jets to make plays, so he's healthier than KJ at the same age).
