Steve Nash won two NBA MVPs, played with Dirk Nowitzki, Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant and delivered an 18-year pro career that earned a place in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Which made what Nash said 14 minutes into his 21-minute induction speech so special.
“The greatest experience of my career was playing the Olympic Games for Canada,” Nash said on Friday night.
It’s no surprise given a memorable story from Nash’s one Olympics, Sydney 2000, the only time Canada has qualified for the Games in the Dream Team era.
