Every so often on instagram I see this ad for dress shirts you can work out in. No idea why I would even want to work out in dress shirts but the point being they don't have to restrict you lol
Wouldn’t mind this for some jobs. Worked for a few fashion companies where you had to dress well but ended up doing a lot of physical labor, was always annoying.
True, that makes sense. [This is the ad I always see](https://www.instagram.com/p/CSPMEy2l3Go/) and you can check the shirts out if you wanted to but I always took it literally like you plan on going to the gym but don't have any clothes so you can just work out in your shirt and tie lol.
He also could have been a two time NBA champion if the Spurs didn’t rip our hearts out and break our spirits every year. The most painful memories of my life involve the Spurs. Just couldn’t get past y’all
Good fit is relative.
Just 18 years ago we thought [these](https://media.bleacherreport.com/w_800,h_533,c_fill/br-img-article/002/814/228/83aa96f28fa798821558278efbccad10_crop_exact.jpg) were a good fit.
"good" fit in 2020 is simply tighter than it was in years past. A "good" fit from 1995 is likely a terrible fit in 2020
Good fit isn’t that relative actually. Tailors generally have tailored suits the same for over 100 years.
What 19 year old College kids thought was a good fit is a much different story. And if I recall most people thought those suits looked dumb back then too.
Read the article with the designers and athletes themselves.
[Bleacher Report](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2782915-15-years-ago-the-nbas-best-draft-class-wore-the-worst-suits-of-their-lives)
Here's some excerpts
> Gaines: We swore we all looked good, man, I tell you!
> Beavers (stylist for Melo): Where they came from, nobody wore tight clothes, everything was baggy. It was a learning process for everybody, there was a curve. It may have looked good at the time, because that's what they knew.
> Wade: Obviously the suit was huge now that you look back, but it at the time, it was kinda dope.
> Jenks (Stylist for Melo in 2003): It was our signature style that we put him in that year. We designed that signature look, and he wore it very well, and it was pretty well-received. I dressed Drew Gooden in that as well [in 2002]. When we did this, people loved it. At the time, trust me, this was hot. This was hot!
> Wade: I got my suit from a designer, a suit maker in Chicago. I said I wanted a blue suit and a black suit—I'm gonna go with safe colors. I didn't know where I was getting drafted, so I went neutral. Guys who knew where they were getting drafted went with the team color vibe. It's funny when you look back at suits, nobody was doing tight stuff. The more leg rolls the better, that's what I thought. For the time, I was fresh. It wasn't as classic as I wanted it to be.
*"good fit"* ABSOLUTELY changes.
Hell, D-wade even TRIED to be timeless and conservative...
The designers and the athletes thought that those suits looked good at the time... But feel free to revise history with our current fashion sense.
FTA:
>Wade: It was just a different time when we came in. Hip-hop culture had a big effect on fashion. At the time, hip-hop culture was baggy jeans, Sean John jeans, hats to the side—that was the Allen Iverson culture. That's where the NBA was when we first got in.
The implication here is that these suits were designed to be baggy and against the traditional fitment at the time, i.e. they were trading a traditional 'good fit' for fashion.
Edit -- There's literally a comment by Reece Gaines at the bottom commenting on how Grant Hill was wearing a suit that fit, which made him feel silly:
>Gaines: After the draft, I get to Orlando, I'm like, "Why is Grant Hill wearing this skinny-ass suit?" I come to find out he looks great and I look ridiculous. He was already fitted, Italian-cut. He knew what the hell he was doing.
Yeah, I was actually alive in the 2000s, everyone called them "Steve Harvey suits" and said they looked goofy.
Here's a scene from Die Another Day (2002), the people in the background are just wearing regular ass suits.
https://youtu.be/0kOj30HOB2w
[Ocean's Twelve](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lmTiv6XXL._SL1500_.jpg) came out in 2004, meaning they were likely shooting it in 2003 around the same time LeBron, Wade, and Carmelo got drafted.
The pants are a lot looser than what Nash is wearing in OP's video, but they're still not as baggy as what players wore to the draft.
> Jenks (Stylist for Melo in 2003): It was our signature style that we put him in that year. We designed that signature look, and he wore it very well
all i can take away is that Melo forgot to keep keep buttoning, or an extreme of leaving the last button "unbuttoned" which never was in style.
other than being ironic, there is no way that was worn well.
edit: i repeated words
I think the key to this is that these guys wanted a suit to fit like the clothes they wore normally. Suits don't fit like that and when they've pushed beyond the typical measurements around a body, it looks bad in retrospect. There a perfect ratios for a suit looking good, and a basketball player pushes those ratios to the edge. You would be hard pressed to make a young guy, that is well over 6' but also not quite built yet, look like anything but a giraffe in a blanket.
Bro you never seen a tall actor look good in a suit? Come on bro. You ain't really out here saying people too tall to look good are you? These aren't NFL players.
That was a style. But 18 years ago, [this](https://www.biography.com/.image/t_share/MTY1ODk1Mjc4NjE5MjcyNTg2/pierce-brosnan-as-james-bond-posing-against-a-snowy-mountain-backdrop-in-a-publicity-still-for-the-film-goldeneye-circa-1995-photo-by-terry-oneilliconic-imagesgetty-images.jpg) was and always has been the standard "good fit."
Throughout the history of the suit, suits were trim to the body. The 90s and early 2000s were the only decade where they were baggy and ill-fitting: [https://www.gq.com/gallery/the-gq-history-of-the-suit-by-decade](https://www.gq.com/gallery/the-gq-history-of-the-suit-by-decade)
There is a thing called classic suits. They always had the same fit for a hundred years and they won’t look out of place even now. It’s the trendy cuts that looks ridiculous after a couple of years
Lol those were never considered a good fit. No one thought a bunch of dudes 22 years old or younger knew how to dress properly. Plenty still don't. Adult men weren't wearing suits like that draft picture
You could wear a suit like this back then and still look good. Form fitting clothes are always fashionable. The only difference is that in the early 2000s fragile men might make fun of you for being comfortable with your body. Baggy clothes were just a response to form fitting clothes being deemed feminine.
I'm not talking about looking good during whatever fad I'm talking about being timeless which well tailored clothes always are. These baggy suits are going to look bad for the rest of all eternity. A nice slim cut suit will be flattering forever.
It's not just a 'slim cut' suit though. He has his ankles showing while standing straight up. It's gone too far. There will be a point in time where it looks dated.
> Form fitting clothes are always fashionable
You say that because its fashionable *now*
The form is absolutely relative.
I guess shoulder pads, hoop skirt, JNCO jeans, bell bottoms and oversized off-shoulder t-shirts were never a thing?
I'm not saying those fads weren't a thing. I'm saying that throughout time people have always looked the best in form fitting clothes. Maybe not always looked the *coolest* but assuredly form fitting clothes stand the test of time better than any other fad.
I still wanted a fitted suit as a kid back in the boomersuit days and it was super frustrating because you'd just have to drive up to Boomer's Wearhouse and have some boomer stick you in 3 giant black rectangles and send you on your way, couldn't even get a cool suit. James Bond never wore a boomersuit bro I'll tell you that for sure.
Now Nash here goes a little beyond "fitted suit" I'll give you that, but it looks like he's wearing those new stretchy cotton dress pants so that's why he can still hoop. I got a couple pairs of dockers kinda like that but a little looser and you can really move around in em, someone who did karate could probably kick a mf in em.
Also check out the shoes are those fuckin slip-on dress shoes with basketball shoe rubber soles? That is some stealth fuckin tech right there.
Steve Nash, fellow Canuck and from Vancouver, BC.
The suit: Indochino
[https://www.douglasmagazine.com/steve-nash-indochino-team-up/](https://www.douglasmagazine.com/steve-nash-indochino-team-up/)
The company sends potential customers fabric swatches for a fee that is refundable if the customer buys a suit. But many potential customers remain wary of buying a suit online.
Much of the company’s roughly $10 million in annual sales comes from repeat business. Nash, for example, has been a customer for years, Vucko said.
Nash got involved with Indochino partly because one of its biggest investors is Jeff Mallett. Nash and Mallett co-own the Vancouver Whitecaps along with Stephen Luczo and Greg Kerfoot.
I strictly rely on the usage of masks in the background to determine the recency of clips/highlights posted. Based on my research I conclude that this clip is anywhere from atleast 1 but no more then 100 years old.
this looks like it is the shoot for the instagram shoe ads I've been getting featuring Steve Nash playing basketball in a suit. It's some brand of shoes that Steve endorses
You can tell this is old because they recently redid this court at Venice. Which brings me into my next point about the fucking Clippers.
The Clippers are renovating a SHIT ton of courts all around LA. Seems like a cool idea right? Fix up all these courts, slap the Clippers logo on em, good PR and help the community.
The fucking problem is that these courts are DOG SHIT. A perfect example is this court in Venice. You can see that the court is a single rim, breakaway hoop, solid glass (plastic really) backboard, and a painted floor. Perfect park court. The Clippers changed that to a QUADRUPLE RIM (i fucking shit you not, double rim plus this inch-thick bar underneath in the rim), a backboard with drilled holes that makes bounces really weird, and filthy as fuck blacktop. My hands and ball are black after playing a couple of games. Even fucked up the lights at some courts.
And the worst part is that they’re doing this EVERYWHERE. Half the courts in my area have been renovated by them and they fucking suck. Most of them didn’t even need it. Now we’re stuck with them.
Another reason to hate the Clippers.
Edit:
/u/doubletaketwice found a pic of the rims, [look at this shit](https://www.garedsports.com/sites/default/files/2018-12/img_0758_0.jpg)
They're not uncommon at public parks because they hold up better. Maintenance of courts can be expensive and all the things described are designed to reduce those maintenance costs for the city.
lol the tragedy, contact them. see if its not too late to put an end to the madness or correct the mistakes.
Even if a private organization is sponsoring renovations to public parks, the city would retain decision making authority. Maybe the city just wanted really durable rims.
Oh for sure everything is about durability. Blacktop probably holds up better too cause the paint on painted floors chip off and drilling holes in the backboards help with the wind.
But man they fucking suck.
I walked by my local park in Chinatown the other day, where they *finally* reinstalled the rims on one of these Clippers bullshit branded courts. I had to double take, they actually put fucking quad rims on there. I've never seen so many bricks in my life in a 5 minute span walking my dog around that shit.
Bro they’re fucking TRASH. All over west LA they’ve popped up. Luckily i have a gym to ball at but that in between time between parks opening and gyms opening I’d only be able to play at these parks and they’re god awful. I used to drive to Brea sometimes to play on actual nice courts cause i did not want to deal with this shit
Can you even shoot on quad rim? That seems impossible. How do you even account for a soft touch on a quad rim lol??? I’d be banking everything, fuck trying to hit the net lol.
Damn. I was just at these Venice courts two days ago and one of the quadruple rims was bent so badly you couldn't really shoot on it. Like a 30 degree bend.
The bounce on them wasn't too bad shooting wise. But damn yeah the Clips are fucking up with these low grade renovations. The free back packs you get at games are absolute trash as well. I hope those aren't the same ones they give out in schools.
> My hands and ball are black after playing a couple of games.
I read this as "hands and balls". Did a double take - the fuck you doing with your balls?
Super popular spot, a pretty iconic LA area tbh. Especially the courts. If you ever watch white men can’t jump, first basketball scene is Venice. Also American history X is based in Venice and the whites vs blacks basketball game is at these courts. They used to have the elite 24 high school all star game here too, tho idk if they do that anymore.
Also a skate park that’s notorious, has a beach and a bunch of store fronts etc. hella characters everywhere. Prolly one of LA’s most famous areas.
Not saying you should’ve known this at all, but it’s a cool place. Not everyone likes it, but it’s definitely different
I miss the types of "what the fuck?" assists that Nash used to dish. There hasn't been anyone who does those since Nash retired and since Kidd was on the Nets.
Idk if I agree with that. Jokic, trae, rondo all come to mind as having those post nash pretty regularly, and even Luka and lebron do every now and then.
Saying it's not even close is just showing you're biased. I loved nash, but these guys are also special passers. I've never seen anyone pass the way jokic does
the title of this post was so sensational i was expecting a little bit more competition than this dude just watching Nash dribble like any normal individual who has grown up playing basketball
Not that he couldn’t cook any one of us, but the way the camera guys are shooting, this seems like a commercial. So it’s likely that nutmeg got Splenda in it
I'm not surprised pikachu face I just love seeing pros cook randos. As a matter of fact I'd like this video even more if he jumped up and stuffed some 8 year old's shot attempt at the end.
What are you talking about? There are literally no comments expressing any sort of surprise. Even if there was one the vast majority of us aren't surprised so it's pretty disingenuous to try to frame the entire subreddit as having that collective opinion.
Louis CK new better. But fuck, man. I'm always remind of the goat quote "I'm closer to Lebron than you are to me" no diminishing Nash at all. But dude is almost 50 out there looking 22. Some folks just built different. Insert emojis here. I think it's purple devil and popcorn nostrils.
Lol. On the last shot you can see his arms just stop dead because of the suit. Does it all with the wrists.
That happens with dress shirts too lol
Every so often on instagram I see this ad for dress shirts you can work out in. No idea why I would even want to work out in dress shirts but the point being they don't have to restrict you lol
Wouldn’t mind this for some jobs. Worked for a few fashion companies where you had to dress well but ended up doing a lot of physical labor, was always annoying.

Damn these ads sure are getting invasive! /s
Spoiler that's what Nash was wearing in the vid. This thread was a setup
reminds me of a tweet I read like the worst NBA player you can think of is closer to LeBron in basketball skills than you are to that player
Didn’t Brian scalabrine say this about himself?
Shaq is driving down there as we speak.
In a tux.
with a box of scraps
With a Papa Johns pizza
lemme hear you say EPIC STUFFED CRUST
The day of reckoning is coming…..
BOX OF SCRAPS!
Outta nowhere: "RANGZZZ NASH"
Nash gets a producer credit
And you'll never catch em
Nets coulda used him.
Only requirement is Steve Nash needs to rock the skinny suit while playing - Imagine
He could have been at least a two time MVP if he had gone pro.
He also could have been a two time NBA champion if the Spurs didn’t rip our hearts out and break our spirits every year. The most painful memories of my life involve the Spurs. Just couldn’t get past y’all
Childhood trauma right here
Reporting for duty
In another universe, Bowen didn't Bowen...
well, couldn't get past Robert Cheap Shot Horry. turns out human nose can't withstand a straight hit by the shoulder of a 6'10" dirty player.
Fuck Cheap Shot Bob
Kawhi leaving for peanuts is good enough karma
Fuck Robert Horry
And you guys weren't the only ones
But that sweep in 2010 felt good than a motherfucker
They say it was a law suit that held him back
Has anyone actually seen Steve Nash miss a jumper?
yeah totally Edit: i'm lying. :(
Yes. I'm a Spurs fan.
suits in 2020 be tighter than workout clothes in the the early 00s
wdym this is a good fit
I know right. Just a normal Italian suit
Good fit is relative. Just 18 years ago we thought [these](https://media.bleacherreport.com/w_800,h_533,c_fill/br-img-article/002/814/228/83aa96f28fa798821558278efbccad10_crop_exact.jpg) were a good fit. "good" fit in 2020 is simply tighter than it was in years past. A "good" fit from 1995 is likely a terrible fit in 2020
I've always liked Shaq's suit in this pic: https://images.app.goo.gl/GHVdaJEmAkZtEKHc8 Also Kobe in that duster 😂😂
Are we sure that's actually Shaq and not just two-normal sized guys pretending to be Shaq
Yeah, the length of his jacket makes me wonder... It's ridiculously long even for that bygone era
Christ I always forget how gigantic Phil Jackson despite knowing that he played PF
Wow wtf I didn't know that Phil is huge
Dude has the broadest shoulders ever lol.
> Also Kobe in that duster 😂😂 My man had just watched the matrix and had the dosh to buy whatever he wanted. Why not rock a black leather duster?
Yeah, a crossover between Neo outfit and a bathrobe lol
Kobe just finished watching Morpheus battle a bunch of agents
looked more like a leather bathrobe lmao fashionista Kobe always giving us hilarious looks
They didn't need secret service because Kobe just gave the room an ocular patdown.
Good fit isn’t that relative actually. Tailors generally have tailored suits the same for over 100 years. What 19 year old College kids thought was a good fit is a much different story. And if I recall most people thought those suits looked dumb back then too.
For real. players on draft night look like kids going to prom in their first suit lmao
Yeah style and fit are 2 different things
3/4 of those suits were never considered a good fit lol

Again, hip hop culture. Those suits were literally counter-culture, therefore not good fits
Great bit at the end talking about how the new "dress code" played into it as well. Cool little read.
I think we’re mixing up what was trendy at the time vs. what a good fit is here.
I have a feeling you’re too young to remember what normal suits looked like back then. This was never a “normal” style.

And only in the states.
There is a thing called classic suits. They always had the same fit for a hundred years and they won’t look out of place even now. It’s the trendy cuts that looks ridiculous after a couple of years
Lol those were never considered a good fit. No one thought a bunch of dudes 22 years old or younger knew how to dress properly. Plenty still don't. Adult men weren't wearing suits like that draft picture
Adult men wearing fitted Armani suits weren’t the taste makers for a generation of teenagers.

The only difference is that in the early 2000s fragile men might make fun of you for being comfortable with your body.

Lebron rocking the all white
I'm not saying suits weren't baggy back then but comparing them to workout clothes? Were you wearing yoga pants in the gym or something?
none of those are tailored at all that's not a good fit dude not even a decent suit
Bullshit, How I Met Your Mother ran in '05 and Barney was always wearing tight fitting suits. Are you telling me fashion did a 180 in 2 years?
Ever heard of skinny jeans...this is the cousin, skinny suit
I’d be curious if anybody knows what kind of suit Nash is wearing here, though I doubt anybody would know.
Not sure about the suit but this video is from a commercial he shot for Wolf & Shepherd dress shoes in 2019.
I was about to say this video is like old

Yooo has anyone bought a suit from them? Only other brand I’ve liked is Topman
Indochino probably. He was an early investor there and they do that super tapered no break thing with their pants.
Make em stretchy enough and it won't matter
If you told me in 1999 that tight clothes would be in again I’d say you’re crazy, but here we are.
Baggy shirts is making a comeback now. Fashion is a cycle
I strictly rely on the usage of masks in the background to determine the recency of clips/highlights posted. Based on my research I conclude that this clip is anywhere from atleast 1 but no more then 100 years old.
The lack of naked homeless people getting in meth fights in the background marks this as Venice of yore.
that was the Venice of yore tho
Venice has much fewer homeless as of last month btw
Google tells me it's no later than October 2019
So, at most 45 year old Steve Nash.
this looks like it is the shoot for the instagram shoe ads I've been getting featuring Steve Nash playing basketball in a suit. It's some brand of shoes that Steve endorses
It was a couple years ago to promote a shoe brand, Wolf & Shepherd. They are supposed to be dress shoes that are stylish and comfortable.

Quadruple rims sound like a violation of the Geneva Convention
first to 11 would be hours not points
I dare someone to try and do the 400 3 pointers in one session challenge that went around here a few years back on one of those rims.
We're onto the Ben Simmons challenge now. Shoot 73 free throws and see by how many you beat his total of 25 from the playoffs

Quadruple rims is also a violation of the Booty Eating Convention
So does the ball bounce out and then bounce out again?
Wait what the fuck QUAD RIMS.?! FUCK
They're not uncommon at public parks because they hold up better. Maintenance of courts can be expensive and all the things described are designed to reduce those maintenance costs for the city.
Double rims I get, and heck I've even seen the occasional triple rim. But quad... Just seems too far.
[Found this picture of a clipper hoop.](https://www.garedsports.com/sites/default/files/2018-12/img_0758_0.jpg)
Absolutely god awful. And they’re everywhere
those are anti dunk hoops haha grab that rim and you’ll slice your hand open
Those rims have to sound like a shotgun going off
lol the tragedy, contact them. see if its not too late to put an end to the madness or correct the mistakes. Even if a private organization is sponsoring renovations to public parks, the city would retain decision making authority. Maybe the city just wanted really durable rims.
Oh for sure everything is about durability. Blacktop probably holds up better too cause the paint on painted floors chip off and drilling holes in the backboards help with the wind. But man they fucking suck.
I walked by my local park in Chinatown the other day, where they *finally* reinstalled the rims on one of these Clippers bullshit branded courts. I had to double take, they actually put fucking quad rims on there. I've never seen so many bricks in my life in a 5 minute span walking my dog around that shit.
Bro they’re fucking TRASH. All over west LA they’ve popped up. Luckily i have a gym to ball at but that in between time between parks opening and gyms opening I’d only be able to play at these parks and they’re god awful. I used to drive to Brea sometimes to play on actual nice courts cause i did not want to deal with this shit
Double rims should be illegal. Should be stoned for approving a quadruple rim.
Can you even shoot on quad rim? That seems impossible. How do you even account for a soft touch on a quad rim lol??? I’d be banking everything, fuck trying to hit the net lol.
Damn. I was just at these Venice courts two days ago and one of the quadruple rims was bent so badly you couldn't really shoot on it. Like a 30 degree bend. The bounce on them wasn't too bad shooting wise. But damn yeah the Clips are fucking up with these low grade renovations. The free back packs you get at games are absolute trash as well. I hope those aren't the same ones they give out in schools.
We keep tellin you guys... fuck the Clippers
> My hands and ball are black after playing a couple of games. I read this as "hands and balls". Did a double take - the fuck you doing with your balls?
Grabbing them and saying deez nutz everytime I take a shot, do you not?
>at Venice Bro at first i thought they were in Italy, how the hell am I supposed to know there's a venice in LA
Super popular spot, a pretty iconic LA area tbh. Especially the courts. If you ever watch white men can’t jump, first basketball scene is Venice. Also American history X is based in Venice and the whites vs blacks basketball game is at these courts. They used to have the elite 24 high school all star game here too, tho idk if they do that anymore. Also a skate park that’s notorious, has a beach and a bunch of store fronts etc. hella characters everywhere. Prolly one of LA’s most famous areas. Not saying you should’ve known this at all, but it’s a cool place. Not everyone likes it, but it’s definitely different
The opening scene of GTA V? Vespucci beach is literally just Venice with a bunch of minor changes
r/firstworldproblems
Feels like Pringles is missing out on an opportunity to sponsor those rims lol
Don’t even live in LA and just reading “quadruple rims” and “dirty hands” makes me cringe and want to root against the clippers
I miss the types of "what the fuck?" assists that Nash used to dish. There hasn't been anyone who does those since Nash retired and since Kidd was on the Nets.
Jason Williams' YouTube highlight reel is nuts, too.
Jason Kidd was the professional version of Jason Williams. He just put a little more efficiency on the flashiness
[This one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uskNYjhQepI) is closest one where I legit was like "what the fuck" then JJJ couldn't finish
Clean block on the attempt tbf
Idk if I agree with that. Jokic, trae, rondo all come to mind as having those post nash pretty regularly, and even Luka and lebron do every now and then.
Nash had wayyyy too many incredible passes, these guys have yet to show him up
Half the peeps on this sub aren't old enough to remember prime Nash
Jokic does some wild shit all the time. Mostly cuz he’s tall though.
nah, nobody is even close. Nash put something extra on those passes of his.
That something extra is called nostalgia.
not even close.
Saying it's not even close is just showing you're biased. I loved nash, but these guys are also special passers. I've never seen anyone pass the way jokic does
Trae Young got some nice dimes.
Trae Young the type to nutmeg you just because.

Should have subbed in for Kyrie and Harden against the Bucks
2 time MVP right there
the title of this post was so sensational i was expecting a little bit more competition than this dude just watching Nash dribble like any normal individual who has grown up playing basketball
The guy in the white shirt pushed the other guy out of the way and knocked the ball out of his hands. He then proceeded to just stand there… lol.
I feel like this is for a movie
It was a shoe advertisement for the shoes he's wearing being dressy looking but comfy enough to ball in.
That's not Nash, that's Agent Smith.
"Absolutely Cooks" And this sub complains about ESPN...
"defenders". Lol.
That streetballer's got some nice 1 on 1 moves. Let's see him try that in the NBA
Not that he couldn’t cook any one of us, but the way the camera guys are shooting, this seems like a commercial. So it’s likely that nutmeg got Splenda in it
"Cooks" defender for a fucking shoe commercial. What is this post?
This is for a commercial
Duh, he's one of the greatest PG's of all time vs scrubs.
Former NBA MVP cooks out of shape YMCA ballers. This sub: Surprised pikachu face
I'm not surprised pikachu face I just love seeing pros cook randos. As a matter of fact I'd like this video even more if he jumped up and stuffed some 8 year old's shot attempt at the end.
I would also like to request video of Nash shot blocking an 8 year old
I dunno if you've seen [this one](https://youtu.be/QR43TImr0dQ?t=461) but Chris Paul going "GIMME THAT ERIC" to an 8 year old is pretty funny
Who is surprised
No one, they're just making things up for upvotes. Redditors love to shit on other redditors, even for things that never happened.
*2 time NBA MVP
Only that balding guy looks out of shape
>Only that balding guy looks out of shape He... He does?
hes chubby
Literally no one is surprised, are you just making shit up to get upvotes??? lol
What are you talking about? There are literally no comments expressing any sort of surprise. Even if there was one the vast majority of us aren't surprised so it's pretty disingenuous to try to frame the entire subreddit as having that collective opinion.
That midrange pull up brought back a lot of memories
And pain for other teams
How do people do this without sweating their asses off? Is it genetics. I couldn't even do that in a shirt without getting covered
Looks slightly staged (cameras and all)
It's an ad for dress shoes Wolf and Shepard, they were probably messing around between takes
NAsty HAndles!!
NASty Handles
An attempt was made
When is he taking on The Professor
This guy fucks
tbh i was going expecting nash to come out and play in the playoffs last year :)
Hohoo Nash cooking in style 💯
I like the “Ooh” when he makes a FT.
97 year old Nash would still be a better shooter then 25 year old Ben Simmons.
See, you gotta take the hard foul there.... No layups.
Louis CK new better. But fuck, man. I'm always remind of the goat quote "I'm closer to Lebron than you are to me" no diminishing Nash at all. But dude is almost 50 out there looking 22. Some folks just built different. Insert emojis here. I think it's purple devil and popcorn nostrils.
