Kevin Johnson's there.
Steve Nash is there.
So you got three Hall of Fame point guards there.
What was practice like?
It was great because me and Nash got to practice all the time because Kevin was on the sideline reading the newspaper.
Wait, he didn't practice?
Yeah, he practiced.
He was a vet, so he would practice when he wanted to, but me and Nash got most of the reps.
But imagine you got three.
Did you guys know that Nash could play?
Yes, Nash is a gym rat.
I knew Nash could play when I was at Cal in Santa Clara.
We would have battles.
And so understanding Nash's competitiveness, his work ethic is like no other.
He's a gym rat.
And so...
For both of us to come off the bench behind Kevin, we got to learn the game.
But I knew once Nash got the opportunity to run his team, he was going to be elite.
And he was a two-time MVP and Hall of Famer.
But we did have to come off the bench, and sometimes our minutes were cut because of Kevin.
