Words cannot do justice in describing the genius that is Steve Nash. At his peak, the 6 ft 3 point guard engineered some of the most spectacular offensive showings in all of basketball. From scoring, passing, ball handling and basketball I.Q., Steve Nash was well-rounded when it came to getting the ball in the hoop, be through him or dishing off an amazing assist to teammates.
