Thing is, Nash's so athletic that we'd like to see him in the boxing ring someday, and we're pretty sure that if the referee hadn't gotten in the way, and Stoudemire and Diaw hadn't made their advances, our hero would've leapt into the air and landed one on Big Shot Rob's sneering kisser.
With his foot! Did we mention that Nash's even better at soccer than hoops? Too bad the women's game isn't more universally popular. Maybe it's that two-tone ball. Or the fact that only a few of the players can dunk? In any case, it's a shame because Taurasi is the proverbial poet in high-tops, a much more mesmerizing player than men's star Nash.
A few years ago, she was dubbed the greatest collegiate basketball player male or female of all time after leading the University of Connecticut women's team to three straight NCAA championships from And we'd say she's the best athlete in the women's game today. At almost 6 feet, Taurasi was the number one draft pick of the Phoenix Mercury in , after being the youngest player on the women's Team USA in the Olympics that won the gold medal.
She has since made three all-star appearances. The first player in history to break the point mark in a single season in , she is one of a handful of players in her league who can take over a game.

But her feistiness is a major reason we love her. He's the man who's transformed pro basketball from a low-post slog-fest to a run-and-gun showcase.
He's the reason the NBA's fun to watch nowadays and becoming the most popular sport in the world except for football, um, we mean soccer. We've always wondered how a sport that's not even the most popular in its own country real American football is , can be the second-most-watched in the world, but Mike D'Antoni's why! The biggest star ever in the Italian league as a player and a coach, D'Antoni has brought European athleticism to our shores in the form of the modern-day Phoenix Suns.
The Suns will run all but one or two teams in the league which took their inspiration from the Suns out of any gym, and that makes them damn exciting to watch.
While the San Antonio Spurs continue to win championships, they're just plain dull with their predictable game of tossing the ball inside to Tim Duncan. They've never captured the imagination of basketball lovers. So say what you will about the lack of defense on D'Antoni's teams, Mike's going to take the Suns all the way next season.

Not quite so confident? Supply-chain slowdowns from the COVID pandemic are driving consumer prices even higher on everything from food to clothing to gas. The rent is also rising, and in Arizona, it is rising faster than anywhere else. Molly Boesel is an economist at Core Logic, a housing analysis firm.
One reason she sees rents increasing so much in Arizona is the population growth. Out-migration from higher cost, higher taxed states like California, welling over into Arizona is taking up the available rental supply. Your contact info We'll be in touch if we look into your question.
