So sad watching Steve Nash cry after Lakers eliminated Suns

[QUOTE=32jazz]It is what it is. Nash will get over it someday(like today). What's with all the big male internet hugs & sobs:confusedshrug:

Nash doesn't want any of you knuckleheads pity.

Fools with their silly/mock outrage because someone laughs because a grown man cries over a silly game.[/QUOTE]


so you prefer guys to react like Vince Carter ("oh wells I don't care") and Lebron (smug) after losses rather than like Nash and Kobe (yes, Kobe's ass cried too in 2003)

I don't get why a pro athlete showing they love the game so much it could move them to tears is a bad thing.

seriously, Americans and their dumbass homophobic alpha-male "I aint eating no vegetables I aint crying I like having a gut and two chins" culture is laughable. Everytime I read Maxim I'm rolling my eyes at the cliches.

Jordan has cried too ... I think it shows their passion for the game.

[QUOTE=EricForman]seriously, Americans and their dumbass homophobic[/quote]
Don't you just mean "dumbasses" ... not all Americans are as described.

poor Nash
:cry:
feel bad for him

Aint nothing wrong with crying. Shows you got heart and love the game and a competitor.

With all that Said

Steve Nash crying put a smile on my face. Makes me feel better about 06-07

Well, obviously, not every American fit under that rule but generally, Americans are more homophobic and more prone to those generic alpha male traits than any other country's people. I mean, I'm American. I think it's funny half the time. Al Bundy is one of my idols, and he's the ultimate "you dont cry unless your mother dies you sissy" type of american male.

But... Bundy is a TV character. He's hilarious and awesome in a fictional world. Too many Americans really live by those rules though. You open up an issue of Maxim and it's just full of these stupid cliches and "men rules" that works on a TV sitcom but not real life.

The whole american culture messed up basketball. I mean, swatting a shot 5 rows to the crowd is awesome but taking a charge is probably considered "sissy". I mean you notice that the "smartest and craftiest" players are all foreign? Because Americans got too much alpha male pride, they deem crafty moves as sissy. American behavior is all out, all loud, all the time. Like a Sheed. I'm sure he's a true man's man in America.

I've never seen someone insinuate taking a charge is "sissy" ... in fact that takes a lot of guts.

[quote=EricForman]cartoon characters.[/QUOTE]
You just named likeable, and memorable qualities of "cartoon" like characters, IE Al Bundy.

:oldlol:

It is still not that serious, Eric Foreman, you do realize that you typed six paragraphs over a man crying? Seriously?

He cried, end of story. What is there to defend? Why are you comparing him to Carter and Lebron? People are different, I wonder why that is so hard for people to understand.People deal with their failures in different ways, nothing new about that.

I dont get why crying is "showing how much he loves the game" while Carter and Lebron's reactions are negative. At the end of the day, it is just a game.

Lets end the thread on that note.

in some countries you could be put to death for engaging in homosexual acts.

Im not that sad he had his chance in 05 06 & 07 when the Lakers sucked. especially 06 when they went 7 games with a bad laker team & 7 games with the f****** Clippers

[QUOTE=Foster5k]I almost felt sorry for Nash, but I forgot he's making millions, while we have people in the world starving and fighting to survive.[/QUOTE]

The guy cares about winning. You can't ask for anything more as a fan.

It's not like he's trying to make others feel bad for him.

Thank you.

Some of these guys have had horrible upbringings and while they try hard on the court everyday...they know that being a millionaire is a blessing so if they win a championship cool...but if they don't they won't cry over it.

Doesn't make them less of a competitor.

LOL@ the assertion that crying makes you more of a competitor/means you care more....lol....it means you have weak tear ducts:confusedshrug:

He was the best player on the court surrounded by scrubs and almost beat the Lakers, then lost in the most depressing way possible. I'd cry to.

Agreed.

I never saw Magic cry after his 4 NBA Finals defeats , but no one will ever question Magic's love for the game/desire to win.

Absolutely no shame in Nash crying. The shame is in other men feeling like they have to run to his defense as if Nash wants your pity; (ERIC FOREMAN):rolleyes:


Nash is somewhere enjoying his offseason . It''s over.

When did I say Nash wants or needs my pity? My main beef is with people who laughs at crying after losses.

Let's not complicate things with how much they make or if their life is so awesome outside of the court, the basics is this--Nash cried because he had so much passion for the game. Some are clowning and bashing him for it, and I think those people are ignorant idiots. That's all.

And to powerglove, six paragraphs on this issue is better than six paragraphs on most other sh*t threads on ISH. how many variations of "Duncan or Shaq?" "If so and so didn't get hurt how many rings?" threads can there be?

And ultimately, I completely disagree with your notion that someone reacting like they don't care (a la Vince or Bron) doesn't mean we should dismiss them as having less passion for the game than someonel ike Nash and Kobe. Kobe, especially, yo ucan tell that mofuu is obsessed with winning and being the best like Jordan was. You think it's wrong for people to assume kobe has more passion than a Vince?

never understand why would they cry after loss, somebody beat your ass and you're gonna cry?

i know it means they cares, but goddamn it, cry when you're by yourself, disgusting, man up and come back next year

internet gangster.

[QUOTE=SoCalMike]I guess I just have never agreed with this... to me, the best point guards in history can at least play a little defense... Nash has never played a lick of defense and that is partly why his teams have never won a championship.

Great point guard..sure.. one of the best? no way.



:pimp:[/QUOTE]

Did you see Magic play D? he was awful. Good team D but 1 on 1 was hilarious.

I felt for him. Still going strong at 37 dude gives it his all from start to finish. It's gotta hurt losing to a team you've pretty much handled the past 4-5 seasons.

lakers been handling the suns the past 2 seasons...

Since '05ish, at least during the post season, it's been the Suns in general.
