xx. Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Shortly after Shaquille O'Neal was traded to the Suns in February 2008, new teammate Steve Nash mentioned a reality show he was pursuing. It would feature the Suns point guard taking on professional athletes in their own sport. The topic didn't come up again until early in the 2008-09 season, when O'Neal boarded the Suns bus and told the team he would be starring in a new reality show in which he would be taking on professional athletes in their own sport. "You mean the idea you stole from me?" one Suns representative said he heard Nash say. Nash eventually sought out an entertainment lawyer, according to sources, which is why he now has an executive-producer credit and the compensation that comes with it. When reached Wednesday, Nash would not confirm the story. "We collaborated on parts of the show," he said. "I support him 100 percent. I thought the first episode was a fantastic episode, and I can't wait for the next one." http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/61223/20090820/shaq_stole_nashs_idea_for_reality_show/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Screw Shaq, it would be interesting to see Nash hosting the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 It's probably better that Shaq does the show since he's more entertaining, but he should at least credit Nash for the idea. Like, in the credits or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 It would be nowhere near as popular or entertaining if it was Nash instead of Shaq. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 It's probably better that Shaq does the show since he's more entertaining, but he should at least credit Nash for the idea. Like, in the credits or something. Steve Nash was in the ending credits as an "Executive Producer" if I remember right. I was wondering what was up when I saw that at first since Nash was nowhere to be seen in the show, but I guess this explains it. Hardly anyone would watch the show if it was Steve Nash instead of Shaq and it wouldn't be nearly as entertaining. Nash should be happy his idea didn't go to waste.

Smitty Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Nash would only be entertaining if he were to get drunk for every episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
