Steve Nash says theres a big difference between playing basketball and swinging a golf club.The Canadian NBA star posted a letter on Facebook on Friday night, to explain the extent of his back injury and to answer fans who are angry over a video of him swinging a golf club. The 40-year-old from Victoria will miss what would have been his 19th — and surely last — season in the NBA with nerve damage in his back. He recently posted a video on Instagram, which has since been deleted, of him hitting balls at a driving range, sparking outrage from some fans.. . . there is an incredible difference between this game and swinging a golf club, hiking, even hitting a tennis ball or playing basketball at the park, Nash wrote. Fortunately those other activities arent debilitating, but playing an NBA game usually puts me out a couple of weeks. Once youre asked to accelerate and decelerate with Steph Curry and Kyrie Irving it is a completely different demand.Nashs injuries have limited him to just 65 games in two seasons in L.A.I definitely dont want to be a distraction, but I felt it best everyone heard from me in my own words, the two-time NBA MVP wrote.I have a ton of miles on my back, Nash continued. Three bulging disks (a tear in one), stenosis of the nerve route and spondylolisthesis. I suffer from sciatica and after games I often cant sit in the car on the drive home, which has made for some interesting rides. Most nights Im bothered by severe cramping in both calves while I sleep, a result of the same damn nerve routes, and the list goes on somewhat comically.Thats what you deserve for playing over 1,300 NBA games. By no means do I tell you this for sympathy — especially since I see these ailments as badges of honor — but maybe I can bring some clarity.The Lakers are 0-5 and last in the Western Conference.Nash wrote that hes always been one of the hardest workers in the game, and that for the past two years hes worked like a dog to both overcome the setbacks and to find the form that could inspire Lakers fans in what he called my last chapter.
