Who's chopping onions?

Nice! Although I expected him to go in as a Sun, as this as where he was drafted and had the peak of his success.

I didn't think the NBA inducted by team.

It's good to hear Steve Nash say this. Great memories Steve.

I don't think they do.

He is just saying "If he had to choose one team..."

Not as a Laker?

If he keeps his hair short like that, no thanks.

Here is Nash's induction speech. It's definitely worth watching. He's just such a humble guy, it's amazing. He does single out a lot of Suns people throughout his speech, Sarver, Colangelo, Amare, the training staff, Triano, D'Antoni, and Gentry. Maybe he singled out more but it's a 20 minute video. Nothing groundbreaking but cool to see.

wow! I was moved by Steve's speech. a lot of great memories watching him play both in Dallas and Phoenix. I love J-Terry and J-Kidd, but aside from dirk he is my second favorite player. It is so strange for me because the suns and mavs had such a good rivalry (very underrated nationally) after nash got on in phx. but my best memories of steve were watching him play against dallas and sort of pretending not to enjoy watching all those suns games when I lived there(albeit I was not rooting for them). It was so odd, but very entertaining watching him and dirk go at each other. When they eliminated dallas in 2005 I was gutted by Nash's game winner. and I stand by you guys that the suns got shafted by the spurs with their dirty play because the spurs knew they could not out run phoenix on the court. I think dirk would have never been the player he was without steve. there was a thread in the AZ Cardinals page about the best players to never win a ring. I can't believe I did not have steve at the top of that list!
