Steve Nash, raised in Victoria, BC, has been a hero in our community and a legend on the basketball court. He won MVP of the NBA in 2006 and again the next year. He's human, he's not perfect, he also has some skeletons in his closet . . .
Nash had a pretty public divorce in 2010. On the day of his son, Matteo's birth, Nash made a statement announcing the birth and his divorce at the same time.
There had been rumours of Nash's infidelities the last year or so, and when he announced he would be leaving his wife the same day his 2nd child was born, the tabloids went nuts. Nash took blow after blow never commenting or defending his actions to the press.
I learned an interesting tidbit not long ago about our Nashional treasure.
Apparently, October 2010, Steve and his wife are getting ready to welcome little Matteo to the world, what an exciting moment . . . unless he comes out a different colour than you!!! YES, little Matteo looked more like Nash's teammate than anyone else in Nash's family. Sure, Steve was born in S. Africa, but I'm like . . . 99% percent sure he's not black. (what? Most white guys can't play ball like that)
Sure, it's been said that Nash and his wife were both cheating . . . hers is the shits though. Too close to home.
In my opinion Steve, your still a Nash-ional treasure, a hero in our community, and one hell of a b-ball player. You keep hanging your tongue out of your mouth while you play, but please, from now on keep your pecker in your pocket.
Chirp ya later,
Bird
