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.

Now the CFL on TSN analyst is back with his picks for Week 5, including a happy omen for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Calgary at Edmonton Bad blood game early in the season. First, Chris Jones left Calgary to be in Toronto and won a Grey Cup under suspicious circumstance and I am sure John Huffnagle resents it to this day. Second, Edmonton is 4-0 and wins a lot of football by imposing their collective will on opponents and basically wears them out. Calgary knows that, will be reminded of that and will do their best not to let it happen. And third, each team has two physical runners and a dangerous pass rusher. I figure Jon Cornish should play and will be target No. 1 for Edmontons defence. And for Edmonton, Johnathan White has been a top and pleasant surprise as a running back. Kind of brings emotion to the position that is needed. On defence both 0dell Willis and Charleston Hughes can change a quarterbacks health status quickly. Bad blood game but Calgary wont allow Mike Rielly to run for almost 100 yards like Winnipeg did. Tough one to pick. Edmonton by three. Winnipeg at B.C. Not a good game for the Bombers and you have to ask why. Now I dont think they were complacent as much as they let their guard down. They relaxed and became confident. Good football teams always have to play like they have to prove something to themselves or others. It is no different than any other competitive occupation. You take it for granted, you lose your competitive job. Yes, even mine. Does that mean against B.C. thhey win easy? Nope.ddddddddddddThe lions are better on offensive line and the defensive front seven is very good. On the road in BC place I like the Lions in a close game. Ottawa at Hamilton at McMaster Cant begin to tell you how disappointing it is that the Ticats new stadium is not ready. Nothing against McMasters athletic program, but I thought for sure the traveling band of football players would find stability. Having said that, at this moment its an advantage for the Ticats. Ottawa had 24 points last week to win and it was great. Enjoyed it a lot. But it was six field goals. Hamilton is not as bad as 0-3 and as a winless team the pressure is on and players feel it. Still, traveling to Calgary and only allowing 10 points is worthy of defensive accolades. Only scoring seven, well, self explanatory. I say this is the week. Ticats win at Mac! Toronto at Saskatchewan I like the Riders. With the week to re-group and retain heath, at home, I like the Riders. In Toronto last year, Dontrelle Inman was their most explosive player many times. Jason Barnes has not been healthy. John Chiles has not been explosive and in all likelihood, Chad Owens will not play. Too much. Ricky Ray completes a lot of passes but needs more big plays, game-changing plays. It will be interesting to see which running back plays and how much in Regina.
