I AM ATHLEE TONIGHT.

Welcome back to I AM ATHLEE TONIGHT.

I am your host, Lee J. Dues.

But with my guys, the Sean Sadie McCoy, and Brandon Flowers, and the Brooklyn Nets,

a fire head coach, Steve Nash.

Now Nash was in the beginning of his third season as head coach.

Assistant coach, Jacques Vaughn, will serve as acting coach for tonight's game against the Bulls.

Now Nash released a statement saying this.

It was an amazing experience.

With minutes with many challenges that I'm incredibly grateful for.

It was a pleasure to work with the player's performance team and front office every day he added.

I'm especially grateful to my coaching staff and video room,

who are a talented group with so much character and professionalism.

Now here is, I mean, here is Brooklyn Nets GM.

Sean marks on why he decided to let Steve Nash go.

Seven games into the season.

Now we have fallen from our goals, of meeting our goals.

And it was time now because we still have lofty aspirations of where we need to get to.

So with that said, we wish, again, we wish Steve and Lila all the best and command him for everything is done.

And I will also state that just his humility and his leadership throughout his entire time has been something that we've all learned from.

His fingerprints will be all over this organization for many, many years to come.

So, you know, I thank him and his whole family for that.
