From the All the Smoke podcast, where NBA icons Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson interviewed some guy called Steve Nash, we learned about the time he tried to recruit Kevin Garnett to the Phoenix Suns, and how it was Mark Cuban’s unwillingness to overpay him that brought him back to Phoenix for a second stint. However, also revealed on the podcast, was that all this almost never happened because he was driven to the brink of quitting basketball altogether at Santa Clara.
Nash only received one scholarship offer.
