Why was Steve Nashย at the Vancouver Whitecaps game on Saturday?

For kicks and gigglesโ€”and, of course, that whole part where he owns the team.

The Lakers guard was in attendance at a match between the Los Angeles Galaxy and the Whitecaps on Saturday, and he agreed to do an interview with Time Warner SportsNet reporter Kelli Tennant, who hadnโ€™t exactly read up on Nashโ€™s holdings.

Tully Corcoran of Fox Sports spotted the situation, which can only be described as a โ€œcomplete and utter failure to launch.โ€

Things were rough from the very first question, with Tennant asking her โ€œspecial guestโ€ what โ€œbrought him outโ€ to the game.

One of the four owners of the Whitecaps, Nash responded that he owned the team and was here to entertain his buddies who were having a bachelor party.

As if summoned by magic, Nashโ€™s bachelor friend wandered into the shot and approachedย Tennant, effectively stranding her in the on-air equivalent of no manโ€™s land.

The network wisely decided to cut bait and return video feed to the game. Unfortunately for them, Tennantโ€™s microphone was still on and caught Nashโ€™s friend muttering โ€œ****ing refereesโ€ before they could pull the plug.

In summary, the interview was a Chris Bosh photobomb away from winning the awkward interview Triple Crownโ€”going from bad questions to bachelor bro-down in 30 seconds. The only information television viewers garnered throughout the process was confirmation of Nashโ€™s continued ownership of a soccer team and the knowledge that his buddy was having a killer bachelor party.

In other words, we learned everything we needed to know.

On Twitter, where it only gets more awkward.
