Steve Nash was offered one last opportunity to don an official NBA uniform Wednesday and join the 2014-15Los Angeles Lakers team photo.

He declined.

Go ahead, haters. Wind up to hurl more venom at Nash for not even supporting the club that is paying him nearly $10 million this season after all the other disappointment he has brought.

I'd rather clear the air that has been so wrongly polluted.

The only reason Nash isn't retired from basketball already, having put it all behind him, is so he could try to help the Lakers.
