Steve Nash went down in the NBA records as one of the greatest point guards to ever play the game among the other greats like John Stockton, Jason Kidd, and Gary Payton.

What more could we say?" This is the perfect basketball book to pick up for yourself, your sports fan, or as an affordable gift to a friend who loves basketball With all of his accomplishments during the course of his long career, which has spanned from the mid 1990’s to present day 2014, one thing that Steve Nash never did was play outside his means. Nash has never been one to talk trash since he did his talking through his play on the court. Perhaps the biggest thing that Steve Nash will leave to Phoenix, basketball and the world as a whole is first and foremost that he was one of the classiest players in the NBA and a true example of good sportsmanship. Secondly, Steve Nash is a perfect example of hard work and perseverance. Nash decided as a child that he was going to play in the NBA. Yet, nobody gave him a chance since he was just a skinny kid from British Columbia. The big colleges did not want him. Despite the numerous rejections he received from some of the notable basketball schools in the nation, he persevered and continued to play. When he arrived at Santa Clara he continued to work hard and made it to the NBA, never giving up on his goal. Steve Nash’s life and career is a true testament to what hard work and dedication can do for you. When all is said and done, Steve Nash will be remembered as not just a great basketball player, but as a man as well. Steve Nash is a dedicated philanthropist who gave and continues to give back to his city. He will be remembered for the way he beat all of the odds not only by making it to the NBA, but for how hard he continued to work once he made it to the NBA. Steve Nash will be remembered not only for setting records, but also for the way he played to earn those records. steve nash fitness, la lakers, steve nash dunk, grant hill, dallas mavericks, phoenix suns, steve nash draft, steve nash shooting form, dirk nowitzki, shaq

Nash and the Suns

I enjoyed reading this book. It brought back some good memories of Nash, and the Suns of that era. I live in the area and enjoy watching that style of basketball
