Phoenix Suns' Steve Nash named to 8th NBA All-Star Game

Congrats Steve. Well deserved!

Barkley didn't like it. He doesn't like players from losing teams on the all-star team. Except for Kevin Love last year. But that's because he led the league in rebounding, and you can't fake that. So apparently leading the league in assists is not worthy of an all-star nod, but leading the league in rebounding is, regardless of team record. Because it is so easy to get 10 assists per game when you are on a losing team, surrounded by a bunch of role players, with your primary passing option averaging 15 ppg.

We have seen this before. We seem lottery bound for a high pick. Nash takes a rag tag bunch of players and they start turning in to a basketball team. Nash has kept us from tanking

 

[Mainstreet]

Congratulations Steve Nash for being selected to the All-Star team. Sometime most all fans will realize it is an honor just to watch you play.

IMO, tanking is a deliberate act or an act of indifference. Without Nash the Suns would not need to tank because he is the key player that keeps them afloat with all due respect to Gortat.

haha, barkley is talking alot like always. maybe this will motivate nash to play even better. i have to give barkley props because dirk's play has improved greatly after barkley ripped him in the dallas media.

happy to see nash in the all-star game... hopefully, it's the last time he ever represents the Suns there and we get to see him represent a contender next year!

 

[Proteus]

Congrats Steve!

He should have made it last season as well.

Why is Nash shooting at an AMAZING 55% for a guard? That is unreal stats.

Nash doesn't even dunk...

Congratulations! This might very well be the proudest moment for the Phoenix Suns and their fans all season.
