Steve Nash's ability to create for others in orchestrating the 'Seven Seconds or Less" offense in Phoenix inspired the next generation of players.
Hawks All-Star Trae Young is one of them.
"He's the reason I like to pass so much," said Young in an NBA video showing some of the NBA's best plays of all-time in celebrating the 75th anniversary season.
Young was commenting on a play in which Nash drove the lane against Miami, went up between two Heat defenders in Dorell Wright and shot blocker Alonzo Mourning and flipped the ball over his head backwards to an open Grant Hill for 3 on Dec.
