Being mentored for a season by Steve Nash certainly did nothing to help that fact. With that being said, it’s safe to say that the Phoenix Suns have now become Dragic’s team. On paper, this sounds like a great thing; how many point guards would like to say that their respective team is their team? The part that nobody mentions when it comes to team ownership, the responsibility is tremendous. In most cases you’re expected to be the star every night, no matter the circumstance. Jordan owned the Bulls; he played game five of the 1997 NBA finals with the flu. Doesn’t matter what’s going on, everyone expects you to play well; the fans, the players and the coach.

And don’t forget, the Phoenix Suns are also...

And he was right. He now plays for the Raptors and Dragic is with the Suns.
But McHale contends that his issues with Lowry and Dragic weren’t because of anything...
