NBA legend Steve Nash keeps evolving as an athlete. Nash played college basketball at Santa Clara University, where he led the team to the NCAA tournament in 1993 and 1995.
The Canadian baller was then selected by the Phoenix Suns with the 15th overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft. He spent his first two seasons with the Suns before being traded to the Dallas Mavericks, where he had his breakthrough season in 2001-02, earning his first NBA All-Star selection.
Nash returned to the Suns in 2004 and had the most successful years of his career for Phoenix, earning back-to-back NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards in 2005 and 2006. He also led the league in assists five times during his career and is third all-time in NBA history in career assists.
In 2015, after playing for 18 seasons in the NBA, Nash retired and was later inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. (He most recently served as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets.)
Off the court, Nash also plays soccer. He is a co-owner of the Vancouver Whitecaps FC, a MLS team in Canada. See on the pitch photo above.
When Nash recently shared the video above, of him playing tennis, American tennis pro JJ Wolf replied: “That swing speed is scary fast 🔥.”
When Nash shared the photo above of him with retired tennis legend Roger Federer in New York, fans of both athletes went wild with praise and many goat emojis were dropped. One Nash fan went as far to tell Nash: “You can take a baseline game off of Fed.”
