"I'm not coming back to the Suns if there isn't improvement," Nash said.

Nash also said he would consider an offer from the Heat.
"I would listen," Nash said. "He's phenomenal. I love what they're doing there. A lot of people don't like them because they put all that talent there.

LeBron James and Kevin Durant worked out together for five straight days last summer at the University of Akron.
“Monday through Friday, twice a day, and it was one of the toughest weeks that we’ve both had as far as workouts,” James said. “But it was some great work, and we got a lot out of it.”
James credits those workouts for part of the reason why he is having one of the best seasons of his career.
James and Durant enjoyed a strong friendship during the workouts.

“We respect each other, and it’s always great to see a friend of yours do well,” James said.
