Money is a major motivator, especially when that number is north of nine and a half million dollars for a year's work. That's a lot of cabbage, even for a vegan like Steve Nash, who intends to collect on his contract. "The reality is, I'm not going to retire because I want the money," he told Grantland, which strangely isn't a site dedicated to Horace and Harvey Grant.
Cash clearly registers with Nash, so he'll play 'til he's emptied the till. Nash has earned $137 mill. over the course of his career - you know, pocket money*. That's a nice nest egg - or a dozen of them (organic and cage-free, of course).
By being an athlete who actually admitted that moolah mattered, Nash deposited a reality check in our memory bank. Is it unreasonable that a man who distributed dimes for 18 years wants all of those owed to him?
Putting the 'pride' in "Celtic pride": Jared Sullivan says in a three-week period beginning in late January he viewed the 1994 Disney film The Lion King 14 times^. For Sullinger, it's the Circle of No Life.
Cut it out, guys: The 76ers rebuilding might make some want to jump off a building. However, suffering twenty straight setbacks doesn't mean all is lost. "This is not slit-your-wrist time," coach Brett Brown, who has been saddled with sending his squad on this season-long suicide mission, insisted. Perhaps, but the knot-the-noose moment is nigh, since the Sixers have shown they can't hang with anyone.

^where did he watch the movie? in his den, naturally.
