Steve Nash hilariously credits Steph Curry for pushing him into retirement

On the latest episode of the “Mind the Game” podcast, co-host Steve Nash told a story to LeBron James and guest Steph Curry about the moment he realized his NBA career was done — and Curry was part of the reason why.The moment traces back to the 2014-15 preseason, when Nash and the Los Angeles Lakers faced the Warriors in Ontario, California. Golden State came out firing, putting up a 39-point first quarter and eventually cruising to a 116–75 win. Curry dropped 12 points in the opening 2:30 and finished with 25 points in just 24 minutes.Nash, already dealing with back issues, knew he didn’t have the legs to keep up with Curry flying around screens.“I’m guarding Steph,” Nash said. “They put up like 50 in the first quarter — maybe it was 45, but it felt like a 50-piece. He’s running everywhere. My back is broke. Everything’s jacked. I couldn’t have stopped him if I was 100 percent.” "My hero!" This story from @SteveNash about @StephenCurry30 passing him by is hilarious. Watch the full episode for more great conversation, out now on our YouTube: https://t.co/HdIN9eJzNE...
