The time Steve Nash spent as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers may have been short, but it certainly was quite memorable.

Sure, many Lakers fans remember more the fact that Nash spent a lot of his time not playing for the franchise because of, first, a broken leg, and then issues with the nerves in his back.

But Nash had some good moments, too. Even he remembers one in particular.

It was during a road game against the Boston Celtics, where he showed off some his otherworldly ball handling skills, per Nash on Twitter.

Nas made his money in the NBA being one of the most dynamic point guards the game of basketball has ever seen. He anchored the 7 seconds or less Phoenix Suns, and won back-to-back MVPs during that stretch of his career.

But it's also widely known that Nash is quite the soccer player. He grew up playing the sport, actually, and could've gone on to play professionally had he wanted to do so.

But basketball was his calling, so he stuck to that. But those soccer skills never really left him, as he showcases in the video above.

And if you don't appreciate Nash for his time with the Lakers, at least appreciate him for his jokes.
