NBA legend Steve Nash today announced his retirement.
The Canadian had an incredible career and will be remembered as one the best point-guards in history. Nash was twice named the league’s MVP award, is an eight-time all-star and recorded the third most assists in NBA history.
‘To now realize that its over, it’s really difficult to put it into words,’ Nash said today. ‘The greatest gift has been to be completely immersed in my passion and striving for something I loved so much – visualizing a ladder, climbing up to my heroes. The obsession became my best friend. I talked to her, cherished her, fought with her and got knocked on my ass by her’.
