Replying to Sportsnets’ Michael Grange’s article questioning whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander can become the greatest basketball player from Canada, Steve Nash thinks it’s a possibility.
Nash, who many view as the greatest Canadian basketball player, is a fan of Gilgeous-Alexander and believes he can surpass him for the title.
“Yes he can! LOVE Shai’s game,” Nash tweeted out.
It’s a tall task for Gilgeous-Alexander because Nash’s resume speaks for itself. The Hall-of-Famer was a two-time MVP and was ranked among the Top 75 players in history. Nash was also an eight-time All-Star, seven-time All-NBA player and five-time assist king.
Meanwhile, Gilgeous-Alexander is entering his prime and is enjoying the best season of his young career, averaging a career-high 31.3 points on a ridiculous 62.5 TS%.
If Gilgeous-Alexander can enjoy a run of seasons similar to his current one as a high-efficient 25-plus points per game scorer, he’ll certainly make a run for Nash’s title as the greatest Canadian basketball player of all time.
Yes he can! LOVE Shai’s game https://t.co/rOEFYoMeWw
