Check out the latest buzz below.
Nash and Bryant Working Out Kinks
Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant are still adjusting to playing with each other, as they haven’t played a game together since March 30, 2014.
“In some ways, there are some moments where it’s seamless,” Nash told the Los Angeles Times of playing with Bryant. “And in other ways, we’re still figuring our way together because we haven’t played that many games together and we’ve played together in three different offenses now. So it’s always kind of been in flux and adjustments.”
Despite not playing a game with Nash last year, Bryant sees no problem bonding with Nash.
“It’s never been something that’s been difficult,” he said. “It’s extremely, extremely easy. We see a lot of the same things, as far as getting to the right spots. It’s effortless.”
Coach Byron Scott says that he’s “extremely happy” with the way Bryant and Nash looked in training camp.
