When Blake Griffin was asked on his Bleacher Report AMA why he had chosen the Nets over, say, the Lakers, the veteran said all the right things about a chance at a ring, but also noted that he liked the head coach and the GM.
“I’ve always had a lot of respect for Steve Nash and all of the guys they have,” he said. “Sean Marks has done a great job there. It was a tough decision and I wanted to be on a team that was contending.”
Nash, in his rookie year, is starting to get accolades for his coaching.
