Steve Nash does not regret his decision to join the Los Angeles Lakers despite a frustrating season that may result in missing the playoffs.

Nash also considered the Raptors and Knicks.

"Ten out of 10 times, I make the same decision again," Nash said. "I've gotten to see my kids probably four times as much as I'd seen them if I'd have gone back East. That's first and foremost. Second of all, it's a great experience to play for the Lakers organization. ... I'm happy here.

"I'm beyond playing for the credit or the adulation. I feel secure in myself as a player. I just want to help this team, regardless of what it means for me personally."
