Ex-Mavs point guard Steve Nash is the new head coach of the Brooklyn Nets

Since the 2011-‘12 season, the Brooklyn Nets have had eight different head coaches. And three of them used to be point guards for the Dallas Mavericks.

Steve Nash became the third ex-Mavs point guard to join the Nets’ coaching staff since 2012 when he signed a four-year contract on Thursday and was named as Brooklyn’s newest head coach. The announcement was a stunner around NBA circles since Nash has no previous head coaching experience.

However, Nash is a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, and an eight-time All-Star who was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame on Sept.
