but that part stood out to me.

Over the course of it they discussed if defenses Have actually gotten better or not, whyLeBron didn’t choose to shoot mid range jumpers for sometime, and a lot more.

he obviously has certain points hes trying to make along the way and shape perceptions, but they are still pretty good conversations relative to what we usually get in media.

Around the 40 minute mark They’re talking about defense, but It goes over to what the offense is trying to make them do. Nash brought up a game when they(suns) beat the Spurs and people were so amazed at how fast they played back then and how many threes they shot and they had five threes that game.

I’ve heard him talk about that a lot. How that team really should’ve been taken 30 or 43 a night but they were already looked at as extreme.

If he could come back knowing what he knows now Nash would probably be taking 12 threes a night. Every time I hear him talk he sounds like he’s mad at himself for not seeing it.

Cant blame him. Given the strength of those Suns, the narrow margin between winning and losing, and his ability as a shooter, it's very possible that if he personally just attempted 2-3 extra threes per game, hed have had an NBA championship.

KD's point about under 6'2 guards isn't really groundbreaking or new.

Some are taking it as a shot at Steph but I think its safe to say he falls under the offensive savant exception he gave to Kyrie. It could just as easily have been a shot at Nash. I think it was just a casual observation

Yeah, I didn't see it as a shot at Steph at all. He was talking about the Anthony Carters of the world.
