(1) A Thing like Death for Steve Nash


The first episode in an exclusive Grantland series chronicling Steve Nash's return to the Lakers as the future Hall of Famer fights to save his NBA career and his 40th birthday looms [February 7th 1974].
 Retirement must be a thing like death for athletes, and approaching it akin to dying.  When Steve Nash speaks about feeling blocked, and slowed down, and troubled, he is speaking about a common and obvious reality.  Age blocks us, slows us down, and troubles us, if not now, then inevitably at some point in the future.


Thank you for reading, and let me know what you think!
