Steve Nash to Cover Soccer for Bleacher Report

Steve Nash is one of the greatest point guards to ever grace a basketball court, but what if I told you this former NBA player's first love wasn't actually basketball?

Nash grew up in Canada in a household that loved soccer and he was infatuated with it since he was a baby (his first word was actually goal, so its only fitting). Nash went on to play an 18-year career in the NBA, but has finally gotten back to being around the Beautiful Game.

Since he's retired, he's played a lot recreationally and has even become a co-owner of an MLS franchise, the Vancover Whitecaps.
