He's going to earn every last dime of that contract, and he'll go into the Hall of Fame wearing his Phoenix Sun Jersey. When he retires, columns will be written about Cuban's decision to let him go, and they will be far from complementary.

Nash has played a LOT better than I expected in Phoenix. But how much of that is the fact that he felt "disrespected" by Cuban's opinion that Nash wouldn't hold up?
I know for a fact that when Nash played here he didn't have the muscle tone that he has now. In one of the interviews Nash said he started working out to prove his detractors (Cuban) wrong. Would Nash have put the same effort into building his body into a better NBA body if he had stayed here? Somehow I doubt it.
