It was only six years ago that Steve Nash hung up his sneakers, ending an historic career as one of the generational talents at the point. Today, he’s the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, tutoring players who grew up watching the Hall of Famer.
It was the Bay Area where Nash began to grow his name. Nash was just a talented kid from Canada who didn’t receive many Division 1 college offers but turned into a first round pick in the 1996 NBA Draft after a four year collegiate career at Santa Clara in California.
