Sorry to take this even further off topic but that is wrong. Nash drove and was fouled by Sasha, Sasha turned and pleaded (like he always does) to the refs and got in Nash's way. Nash shoved him aside and Kobe stepped in, thats when Kobe and Nash started jawing and that pic was taken.
That followed onto the next game when Kwame blocked Diaw and stood over him as Diaw hit the deck resulting in Kobe and Nash having words again: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Knzzondy398
To be honest i kinda liked all the confrontation, thats what the playoffs are about. Some of the best series i've seen have had that type of animosity, Lakers vs Celtics, Lakers vs Pistons, Bulls vs Knicks, Lakers vs Kings etc. The game has been made so soft now its good to see players go at every now and then especially in the playoffs.
Well I said before, there is a difference between talkin shit to act tough, and talkin shit to backup your teammates. Anyone who played the game knows the difference. And I am almost positive there was an incident last year where Kobe fouled Nash, and Nash took exception. Nash drove, Kobe intentionally fouled him to stop the clock, and Nash didnt like it. Maybe it didn't happen in that pic, but it I'm 90% certain it did happen. Nevertheless, leave it to Mr. Laker to know all the details from a pic leading into one game to another. I don't know how you can remember all that when one of your favorite hobbies is known for memory loss 😮💨
