Leading ways

When I watch the game of 48 minute basketball, I get to know many more aspect of the game and its character. This guy is a playmaker and makes everyone around him worthy of playing. All the player has to do is to get into best position and leave upto this guy to find him. The tempo, rythem, energy, momentum, all thats required is orchestrated by him. No offensive fouls, no grudges, no chest pounding gestures. His aggression is reflected in his game. His reading of game and floor, breathtaking passes, circleling down past the rim, soft touching floaters. When in trouble just count on him, he will deliver, he will create miraculous shots, he will not let the team down.

Many times, I have seen him executing with same zeal even if game is almost out of his reach. Most of the teams cool off when behind by 10 point in last few minutes. Its no surprise that all teams do not relax against him until the game is over. He has proven record to chase you down until his last drop of sweat. Many analysts will agree that he is the coach on floor. His coach takes the job when players hit the bench and he takes his coaching facts when player hits the floor. Many team players have excelled in his free spirited, co-operative empowerd company. His acute concentration and understanding of the game has made him powerful player into the midst of rough plays. Count on his foul-less game clean moves. No body falling on body, no brushes, no side tricks. All you see is sheer atheletism, pure sporting skill and his ability to lead from front. Two time season MVP and still he is playing like MVP at the age of 37. Having grown up playing soccer, he employs all his acrobatic skill, eyeing the playmaking passes in basketball court. Once asked, how does he get those things on the floor and he humbly credits his soccer skills. The commenter smiles back with saying "He is lying". His fitness in the game, his appetite for rising to the occasion despite suffering from a medical condition called spondylolisthesis which causes muscle tightness and back pain. Due to his condition, when he is not in the game, rather than sitting on the bench, he lies on his back to keep his muscles from stiffening.

On offcourt, he is involved in charity and humanitarian work. In 2006, Time named him as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Everytime he walks on the floor, the commentors refers him to be future hall of fame and basketball coach. He is the face of Phoenix, he is the playmaker of Phoenix, he is one the finest point guards on the floor. only the second point guard to win the MVP award multiple times and the third guard in NBA history to earn back-to-back. He was rated as the best passer of the ball and the player possessing the best basketball IQ. Part of the reason that he's so good and so effective is that the guys like playing with him. He creates an atmosphere where they win games.
Steve Nash is an outstanding person while leading his play. Every time I watch him playing basketball, I am immensely inspired by his leading the ways.
