The start of a new school year is never easy. Students are disoriented, learning new schedules, meeting new teachers, and sometimes meeting new students. The discombobulated start of school can be reflected to the discombobulated start of a new football season. Coaches learn the strengths and weaknesses of new players, leading to some confusion to start.

During a concert at U.S. Airways Arena in Phoenix Tuesday night, hip-hop diva Nicki Minaj pulled Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash up on stage and proceeded to give him a lap dance.

From the bewildered, somewhat frightened look on Nash's face, you can tell he's not really a strip club kind of guy. Nash's teammate, Vince Carter, tweeted this reaction to Nash's reaction: "If y'all could have seen @SteveNash face when @nickiminaj got on top of him ... #Classic."

Anyway, we can't blame Nash for wanting to be somewhere else - like the playoffs. Read on to see the video.
