On Monday night, Steve Nash ended his pregame press conference with a roar, poking fun at a question about the Nets being this season's NBA villains.

After trading for James Harden and then signing Blake Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge, they are the first team in league history to acquire three players with five or more All-Star selections during a season.

“It’s not like we did anything illegal. So I don’t know what we’re supposed to do, not try to add to our roster and just sit pat?” Nash said. “That’s the idea of this league, to try to put together the best team you can put together and that doesn’t guarantee you anything.”
