Captain Canada

[tenforthewin]

See the resemblance, one is Captain America, one in a few years could take the leadership role as Captain Canada.

how can someone who wasnt born in canada & isnt a canadian citizen take over the title held by Our own born a raised steve Nash.. seems like a reach to me

[Sam17]

Steve Nash was born in South Africa, and he's a traitor lol. I bet JV wouldn't chose the Lakers over us

[Profster]

bet he would!

[Miekenstien]

bet he would!

haha

[RandomGuy]

I think he wouldn't. I may be wrong, but he's not that type of guy.

[Mess]

How could any of us know what type of guy he is?

Besides, I don't think he has any kids on the West Coast (yet)

[Mediumcore]

Someone explain that whole kids on the west coast thing to me. I thought he was leaning towards playing for the Knicks until Toronto blocked that trade with the Fields signing. Seems to me more like he just didn't want to play for Toronto and wanted to make a title run which I do not blame him for.

[Mess]

Well, I'll explain my comment as a joke...

But I don't his choice came down to just being close to his kids either - although I imagine that would play a part (I'm not cynical enough to think it's purely PR bullshit to soften the blow to Raptor fans). I don't think the NY trade was ever 100% blocked by the Fields offer sheet, but once the Lakers came into the picture with that contract both NY and Toronto were out of the picture.
