Sħãlïq™ Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Nash already providing leadership with Lakers The Lakers needed a player to take a shot. It wouldn't determine a win. But with their first practice already reaching four hours, the Lakers hardly wanted to stay in the gym any longer and perform running drills. The ticket to freedom: one player needed to make three free throws. Kobe Bryant relishes those pressure moments. But he immediately turned to Steve Nash. "I'll take that 92% free-throw shooting any day," said Bryant. Nash actually shoots 90.4% from the stripe, but the point was well taken. Nash went to the line, sank three shots and allowed his teammates to call it a day. "I didn't know I had to shoot all three, but I was happy to do it and take on the responsbility," Nash said. "We had already been out here a long time. I didn't want to make us stick around." Full Story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
