The Return of Captain Canada | Steve Nash makes his only home visit memorable

Posted by Zandro S., December 13, 2007 12:44 AM |

On Dec. 5th, Victoria-reared STEVE NASH and his team The Phoenix Suns made their only trip to Canada. Nash led the Suns to their highest point total this season with a 136 - 123 win over the Toronto Raptors. "Captain Canada" dished a ridiculous 18 dimes and re-established the Suns as an offensive juggernaut. This just goes to show that the hard-working-put-everyone-before-yourself aesthetic of the Great White North can apply to any walk of life.

Nash's unselfish attitude goes beyond the hardwood as he continues to do charitable work in South America, China, and his native Canada. All-Star doesn't begin to describe one of our country's greatest ambassadors, but balloting for the NBA's 2008 All-Star game has begun on the league's website.

If you ignore his charities, the no-nonsense approach to the game, will to win, and team mentality, you'd still be left with one of the league's greatest players.
