Steve Nash Articles - Page 18

Steve Nash revolutionized the way the game is played from the point guard position after landing with the Phoenix Suns in 2004, but after shooting a .490/.428/.904 line for his career, the former Dallas Mavs point guard could have been a shot-hoisting prodigy in retrospect. Nash will be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of […]

The high octane “seven seconds or less” Phoenix offense led by Steve Nash and Amare Stoudamire in Phoenix was the offspring of the Mavericks run and gun movement in the early 2000s led by none other than Nash as well. The two-time MVP might have been the captain of the Dallas offense alongside Dirk Nowitzki, […]

In a different era, Steve Nash would be taking shots on par with Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson — at least that’s what Mike D’Antoni would have wanted. According to Marc Stein of The New York Times, with today’s knowledge of the game, Nash’s coach in Phoenix would have rather had Nash taking “eight 3s […]

Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, and Don Nelson were a force with the Dallas Mavericks. The Nash and Nowitzki duo playing in Nelson’s uptempo style was a match made in heaven with the Mavs, but it appears that the trio’s cohesion was partially built off the court. Dwain Price of Mavs.com spoke with Nelson, who said of Nash […]

Dallas Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle wasn’t coaching the team when Steve Nash made the move to the Phoenix Suns, but he still remembers the drastic change he had in that team, revolutionizing what it meant to have an efficient NBA offense after many years of individual dominance.

In recent years, Dennis Schroder was looked upon as a potential franchise centerpiece for the Atlanta Hawks.

Newly-acquired sharpshooting swingman Danny Green is off to a great start with the Toronto Raptors this offseason.

The Raptors’ young guns, together with Green, are already working out and refining their […]

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young has faced a wave of criticism early in the Summer League, after struggling with his shot, combining for a futile 9-of-37 in his first two games in action. Perhaps the comparisons to two-time MVP Stephen Curry have hurt him more than anything, as many have expected his elite range […]

It’s a rather sad statistic. In the long and rich history of the NBA, only two players crowned MVPs have never made it to the NBA Finals. As observed by Reddit user thespecstar, Derrick Rose and Steve Nash are the only MVPs who have never made it to the NBA Finals. The user posted: “nash made […]

Steve Nash and Mike D’Antoni were together for four years with the Phoenix Suns. During that time together, plenty of quality basketball was played. Nash won back to back MVP awards and helped lead the Suns to the Western Conference Finals. As impressive as that was, D’Antoni actually thinks he held Nash back, and if […]

Most NBA fans know that Steve Nash also plays soccer. Back in his playing years, he would dribble the ball with his feet during dead-ball situations. Joel Embiid, too, apparently has some soccer skills to boot. To test out who’s better than the other, the two athletes played some soccer ping-pong for $1,000. As posted […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo has proved to be the complete package in the past few seasons — a gifted scorer with incredible physical gifts, vision, tenacity, and unrivaled athleticism with a 6-foot-11, 222-pound frame. Yet former back-to-back MVP Steve Nash has managed to find a way to challenge him, playing some headers with a soccer ball just […]

Steve Kerr has seen players come and go throughout his 15-year playing career, his stint as a front office executive, TV analyst, and coach of the Golden State Warriors.

Steve Nash, a former NBA player and two-time back-to-back MVP with the Phoenix Suns, will finally get his chance to give some analysis on television. But there’s a catch: It won’t be about basketball. Nash and Turner are close on a deal that would make him an analyst in soccer, according to a report by […]

Paul George is undoubtedly one of the best players in today’s NBA.

Notable players include famous picks in the following order, Hakeem Olajuwon (1), Michael Jordan (3), Charles Barkley (5), Alvin Robertson (7), Otis Thorpe (9), Kevin Willis (11), John Stockton (16). This draft class has […]

In recent years, the NBA MVP award, which is supposed to go to the most valuable player, seems to have devolved into the “best statistical player” award. Are past years’ winners deserving of the distinction? Probably, but there are plenty of examples of players being snubbed of the prestigious award. Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson, […]

The Golden State Warriors have an injury-riddled roster right now, and could use some hand in covering some of the temporary holes in their lineup. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr believes he has an answer to ease the team’s quandary of having such a short rotation and that’s by signing another Steve. That would be Steve […]

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced its 2018 class today, and many great points guards were on the list.

The 1996 draft class is widely considered as one of the best in the history of the NBA. Some of the players that were part of it became all-time greats, such as Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Ray Allen, and Kobe Bryant, among others. While a lot of high praise and accolades have been given to […]

Game 4 of the 2007 Western Conference semifinals will forever live in infamy for the Phoenix Suns. The Suns had tied up their series against the San Antonio Spurs at two by winning on the road.

It’s been a long while since the Phoenix Suns experienced the highs they had during the “Seven Seconds or Less” years. However, Devin Booker and TJ Warren did accomplish something notable against the Minnesota Timberwolves that no Suns teammates have since those glory days of Steve Nash and Amar’e Stoudemire nearly a decade ago. https://twitter.com/sunsbballcomm/status/929569705035051009 […]

Golden State Warriors consultant and former two-time MVP Steve Nash received his much overdue championship ring from the organization from a shirtless head coach Steve Kerr — a much different endeavor than the official ring ceremony he politely declined last week. Nash, who fell short of winning a championship during his playing days, opted not […]

Steve Nash has played an even bigger part in the Golden State Warriors that most people would give him credit for. Despite having the role of team consultant, Nash frequents the facility not in a suit and tie, but in shorts and sneakers — talking to players like one of the guys and happy to […]

The Golden State Warriors are only hours away from receiving their championship rings. For some, it will be their second, for some others their first — but the organization has wanted one particular member to have this ring, a ring that has escaped him despite an illustrious career.

The Dallas Mavericks have undergone a re-tooling process and while Dirk Nowitzki is bound to cede the mantle once he calls it quits, it will likely go to young Harrison Barnes, who had taken up the task of being the team’s leading scorer. Owner Mark Cuban won’t place the title of him being the face […]

In an appearance on ESPN Radio’s “Marcellus and Kelvin”, Lonzo Ball said that he was working out with former Los Angeles Lakers guard Steve Nash and current Golden State Warriors main man Kevin Durant at the Lakers’ practice facility this past Saturday. “KD came up there to work out last week. I got to work out with him and that […]

David Wesley, the current color analyst for the New Orleans Pelicans, had a really rough time trying to get things going for him in this low scoring affair against the Nets back in 2001.
