Before joining the Brooklyn Nets as head coach, Steve Nash was a highly successful NBA player who’s finally getting some of his earned retributions: a Hall of Fame nod.
The Canadian Basketball Foundation announced the Hall of Fame inductees for both the 2021 and 2022 classes on Twitter earlier this week.
Two-time MVP Steve Nash is the most iconic player on this list as he’s the most decorated basketball player in Canada’s history. Nash represented Canada as a member of their national team for ten years and led them to their last Olympic qualification.
