The new Lakers point guard continues to show that he's one of the funniest players in the league.

Steve Nash and Dwight Howard are on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week!

That's exciting! How does Steve Nash respond to it?

If you replaced Steve Nash with a similarly skilled point guard on the Lakers (say a slightly better Dragic), they would be so incredibly hateable. Kobe, Metta World AlmostKilledJamesHarden, and Dwight? Those three make the Heat look like a movie starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emma Stone, and Jesus (not Tim Tebow, the real one). But you throw Steve Nash on the team and suddenly they're hate-proof. Besides being a good point guard, Nash is like hatability insurance. Trading for the most despised athlete since "The Decision"? No worries. Here comes Steve Nash to get a road beers from some Laker fans. Fuck you, Steve. I would have really enjoyed hating these guys.

Sorry Steve. I didn't mean that. You're the best.
