ZACH LOWE IS THE BEST! Thank god Bill replaced Russillo with Lowe. What a signing!
As a lifelong Spur's fan, my memories of San Antonio trouncing Nash and the Suns EVERY YEAR are joyous. I'll never forget Nash flopping like a fish, throwing himself into the stands, trying and FAILING to get Ginobili ejected…LOLOLOLOL!
Ancient Canadian poet once said,
"No seeds in my weed pack
BC pass it all around
That's Steve Nash"
Still true today.
GLORY!!!'m favoured, $45,580 biweekly! And am retired i can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America 🇺🇸 ❤️
Zack get some rest 😴
Looney was kind of an Iron Man for the Warriors, atleast the past like 4-5 seasons( 2021+).
He then goes to New Orleans, and is injured before the season starts 😂.
As Dyson Daniels said in an interview "I think there's something in the water" lol.
On Jokic
1. LEBRON
2. JOKIC
these two guys are ridiculous
I respect Nash a lot, but him not picking Wembanyama for DPOY… Come on, man. I like Amen Thompson, he's a terrific player, but there's no world in which a healthy Wemby doesn't win DPOY this year and many years to come.
Shit Zach you working too hard man.
Every single person in Israel should be prosecuted, regardless of the circumstances. Over 83 percent of the population appears to support genocide. These individuals believe they are chosen by God, which gives them a sense of entitlement to act violently and kill. If we sought justice for the Nazis, it would be disturbing and absurd to consider granting forgiveness this time. Forgiveness is typically extended when people commit wrongdoing for the first time, but the irony is that the same group that was persecuted by Hitler in the 1940s is the one that is being forgiven. Now resorted to similar acts of violence, and arguably, even worse.
The more I listen to the both of them, and despite their resumes being very different, I swear Steve Nash and Sue Bird are the same human being. The seem to see the game very similarly
Man… Steve Nash has shown complete lack of knowledge about current players and teams. He thought Brogdon was a 2x all star, described Keegan and Looney with the most general, meaningless words imaginable, I'm not enthusiastic about his role on Amazon
Steve "Bokeh" Nash
It was hard getting through those ones with Bill on all of the teams. Not even finished with those and I'm going to listen to this first now.
Boring Nash
Supreme confidence on AA part. Game 1 MSG: "You just out there playing free, not thinking. After the second or third three all I wanted was the ball. I knew if I got the ball it was going up and it was going in. Didn't matter where I was, I just knew if I threw it at the basket it was going in."
As Nesmith goes through game one I find myself laughing. Prefect antidote to the latter days crying stuff. The fan behind the bench who was chirping to the Pacers when they down 108 to 92, and Obi turns says "I don't know what you're cheering about, we are going to walk your asses down." Got real quiet as the threes kept raining. "Some of my guys were at the game. They told me it was like a funeral when people got out."
Don't know what Nash is talking about when he says Looney has played injured his whole career because that's simply not true. His last 4 years with the Warriors he played 82, 82, 74, and 76 games and has only missed the 50-game mark once since his rookie year. He has been an ironman. And he isn't even old as Nash claims, being 28 this season
Steve Nash lost all credibility with that jock sniffing podcast he did with lebron
Zach Lowe is what Steve Nash was on an NBA court in this video while Steve Nash is what Zach Lowe would be on an NBA court. First rule of podcasting. Don't say something if you don't have the information.
Rachel Nichols Zach Lowe feud. 😂
This was a phenomenal episode.😊
damn Zach you were my guy but you threw some weird shade at KD on the simmons podcast talking about how he affected the mood pf his teams or some bs like that, makes me think you're simpler than i thought
Wow. I'm learning a lot from Nash as an analyst. I'd love to hear more of him if I didn't have a strict Amazon boycott running 8 years straight.
Great to see J.E. Skeets on the podcast.
I feel for Ivey such a tough injury blow last year hopefully he recovers fully and can make an impact for Detroit. So glad to have this pod back
Nash is interesting to listen to I’d love to see him on more
Amen Thompson is low-key a dirty player.
I was hoping for some Mets Corner, because I always skip that part.
Zach Lowe is the best too do it right now . The other network is so foolish for letting this man go
So, OnlyFans 1:28:33
Zach, who is the reigning world and european champion? Who came in 2. in the under 20 youth world Cup?
How you guys did not talk about Germany is beyond me
Awesome Nesmith interview
Whoa, I had no idea Nesmith is so cool. Great guest
I’d like to move discourse beyond these awards. Yeah, Zach and Steve is about as great a conversation about it as you can find, but it’s still a nothing that’s hoping for a new exciting thing as if Draymond isn’t still DPOY. New and exciting! Come on.
Steph is the mvp again this year along with jokic and shai and luka and giannis.
I really like Nash's idea of Thompson getting DPOY but Wemby will just dominate in stats. You can't win DPOY if there's another guy out there with 10 blocks and 9 steals per game
Thompson over Wemby for DPOY? Bruh. I gotta believe Nash still holds some vitriol towards the Spurs for what happened the year Horry hip checked him and Nash flopped into the scorers table. It looked like he got hit by a shotgun blast but they could’ve won the chip that year had that game gone differently. I know there’s still some bitterness from other guys from that Suns squad and understandably so.
Met's corner is gone. Thank god.
Zach answers his own question- just ask the guest a short question and let the Hall of Fame Point God cook.
