I like the idea, but I'm having some trouble with it. Search results are only from this season, right? A search for Steve Nash showed a Steph Currey highlight as result one for me. More slang oriented searches like "dunked on" or "dunks on" don't really work either. Dunk/Dunks shows up in results, but nothing beyond that. Was looking for one of my all time favorite highlights, Baron Davis dunking on Kirilenko [1]. For me this type of thing would be pretty awesome with some sort of stats element. A 'visual box score' vs. 'highlights search engine.' ie show the box score for a game, and clicking in any particular field shows video of the plays that produced those stats.

Presumably because Nash is on the warriors coaching staff.

I can't find any retired players, maybe you can. Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, etc. Pretty sure it's just this year for results.
I'm sure you're right, just meant to explain the connection between Nash & Curry.
