magicbalala245 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) A mere week into the 2010 NBA campaign and the Phoenix Suns' season hopes have been annihilated for this year and many years to come. Superstar point guard Steve Nash has informed Suns management he's leaving the team permanently November 15 to pursue a political career in his native Canada. Nash's long-term goal is eventually to become prime minister of Canada, the country's highest position. To that end, he's entering the Victoria, British Columbia, mayor's race and must almost immediately establish residency to run for office. Don't know if this is true or not but if it is god damn the Suns got so [expletive]ed. Amar'e leaving now Nash? This will damper the Suns for years EDIT: Alright guys my bad I didn't know the story was fake here's the statement from Suns.com Edited November 4, 2010 by magicbalala245 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) A story popped up online Wednesday at The Phoenix New Times that claimed Steve Nash was retiring. Not eventually. We know that. That he was retiring now to pursue a political career in Canada. The story claimed Nash was retiring Nov. 15 and that his long-term goal was to be prime minister of Canada. People believed this. It was a five-page story that was thousands of words. There were quotes, confirmations from Jerry Colangelo, Robert Sarver and Alvin Gentry. There was no hint that it was a joke or no reason for it to be fake. But don't worry, it was. CBS 5 News in Phoenix confirmed that the story was a fake and there was even an official statement on Suns.com calling the story humorous.
