NEW YORK — Goran Dragic never envisioned calling Steve Nash “coach.”
The two had a mentor-mentee relationship from 2008-10 in Phoenix, where Nash — a Hall of Fame-bound point guard — had the Suns’ starting job on lock, and Dragic — a wet-behind-the-ears rookie — was soaking in as much as he could.
An on-the-court mentor is different from a mentor shouting from the sidelines. In a way, Dragic conceded, this is all a bit weird.
