PHOENIX (AP) -The Phoenix Suns have reacted with a collective smirk to Phil Jackson’s suggestion that Steve Nash travels with the basketball.
Nash even had a subtle retort worthy of Jackson himself.
Nash says he doesn’t think he’s been called for carrying the ball yet, and that “the best coach in the league Gregg Popovich (of San Antonio) didn’t have a problem with it last week.”
Get it? He called Popovich, not Jackson, the best coach in the league.
Coach Alvin Gentry laughed it off, saying you’ve got to admire Jackson for his creativity. In his retort, Gentry said the Suns spent Saturday working on how to “duck elbows on post-ups,” an obvious reference to something he thinks the Lakers get away with.
