Eight-time NBA All-Star Steve Nash may be 45 years of age and retired from the league, but that didn't stop him from schooling a group of hoopers at the famed Venice Beach courts on Tuesday.
Several NBA legends have played pickup games at the Venice Beach courts, as it's a legendary setting. Nash, who announced his retirement from the NBA in 2015, showed up wearing a full suit and tie, but that didn't stop him from getting to the hoop:

To many experts and analysts, Nash is the model point guard. He's known for his outstanding ball handling skills, as well as his unique ability to find the open man with a flashy pass. However, he was much more than a facilitator. He was a vocal leader, and to this day, many young players model their games after his.
Selected 15th overall by the Phoenix Suns in 1996, Nash went on to play in 1,217 games over the course of his career in the NBA, racking up averages of 14.3 points on 49.0 percent shooting from the field (42.8 percent from beyond the arc), 8.5 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 31.3 minutes per outing. His 10,335 career assists rank third on the NBA's all-time list, just behind John Stockton (15,806) and Jason Kidd (12,091). The Hall of Famer is also 22nd on the league's all-time three-pointers made list with 1,685.
Clearly, Steve Nash still has a few tricks left in his proverbial bag.
