Steve Nash is one of the craftiest and best point guards to ever play basketball and skipped the opportunity to play professional soccer for a shot in the NBA. Nash was drafted twelfth overall by the Phoenix Suns in what could be the most legendary NBA Draft to date in 1996. Throughout his illustrious career, Steve Nash was able to earn two MVP trophies in back-to-back years in 2005 and 2006 and received NBA All-Star honors eight times throughout his nineteen-year career.
Nash was able to lead multiple teams to the NBA Western Conference Finals including both the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns but could never get over the hump in the tough conference. He's one of the most precise shooters the NBA has ever seen and his playmaking ability is something that just can't be taught. Nash was and still is known as a floor leader who made his teammates better and he currently works with the Golden State Warriors as a players consultant.
