Steve Nash Buys Jeans …

At least according to the NY Post he does:

Steve Nash, the NBA MVP, [seen] shopping for jeans with his wife at the Replay store in SoHo and confessing how he loves to play soccer in the off-season …

Wait a second! Steve Nash loves to play soccer? Really? I’ve never heard of such a thing…

And if you believe Chuck Klosterman — and I know I sure as hell do; he wears hipster glasses! — Steve Nash was probably buying those jeans with his wife at a ridiculously fast clip.

From Klosterman’s new book, IV: A Decade Of Curious People And Dangerous Ideas, comes this 2005 Nash article, The Karl Marx Of The Hardwood:

“STEVE NASH IS FAST. This, as stated earlier, probably appears apparent to anyone with access to cable television. You probably think you know how fast Steve Nash is, because he plays basketball at a different speed than everyone who plays against him. However, to truly understand how fast Steve Nash is, you need to watch him buy baby food. At the conclusion of our interview, Nash got a text message from him wife; she told him he needed to buy food for their twin girl infants. We casually shook hands, made some superfluous banter how the conversation had been friendly, and then–because it was raining–I reached down to get my umbrella off a chair. By the time I had returned to an upright position, Steve Nash was already on the other side of the street. It was like someone had taken a laser beam, obliterated every atom in his body, and instantaneously reconstructed his entire anatomy forty feet to the west. This was some Philip K. Dick–Star Trek–vampire shit.”

Hey, didn’t that laser beam scenario happen to Mike Teavee once?

(Actually basketball related: In that same Klosterman article, Nash says Iverson “has the best two steps in the league”, Marbury’s explosiveness is “physically palpable when he blows past people”, Kidd is the “fastest baseline-to-baseline” in the L, and Manu Ginobli “has the greatest agility” … and cousin Larry.)

    […] No word on whether Nash’s new jeans were raised as well, but you can sure as hell bet he still likes soccer. […]
