Extrait : Stephen John Nash (né le 7 février 1974 à Johannesburg en Afrique du Sud) est un joueur de basket-ball canadien évoluant au poste de meneur avec les Suns de Phoenix dans la NBA. Steve Nash a grandi à Victoria, Colombie-Britannique, au Canada. Dans l'équipe de basket de son école secondaire il joue au poste de pivot, avec son frère, Martin footballeur professionnel. Nash rejoint l'université de Santa Clara, où il est nommé à deux reprises joueur de l'année de la Conférence de la côte ouest. Durant l'été, il joue pour l'équipe nationale du Canada. Steve Nash est sélectionné en 15 position lors de la draft NBA de 1996 par les Suns de Phoenix, devenant ainsi le Canadien le plus rapidement sélectionné de l'histoire de la NBA lors de la draft. Étant seulement le 3 meneur de l'équipe après Kevin Johnson et Jason Kidd, Nash enregistre de faibles statistiques lors de sa première saison (3 points et 2 passes décisives de moyenne en 10 minutes par match). Mais avec Johnson en fin de carrière, Nash voit son temps de jeu augmenter la saison suivante, faisant de lui un remplaçant de valeur avec 9 points et 3 passes décisives de moyenne. L'équipe est performante avec 56 victoires en saison régulière, mais est battue au premier tour par San Antonio. Mais les Suns, qui ont déjà Jason Kidd, décident d'envoyer Nash aux Dallas Mavericks durant l'intersaison 1998 contre Martin Müürsepp, Bubba Wells, les droits de repêchage de Pat Garrity, et un futur choix de draft qui sera utilisé pour sélectionner Shawn Marion.

superb
im a PE teacher who specialises in basketball and I needed a dvd which gave simple yet effective drills to be taught for ages 9-15. this dvd fulfills this criteria. For my offense I use the read and react dvds, especially when i am fine tuning my teams shooting or defense but for any pe teacher interested in simple teaching points and drills this dvd is excellent. I would highly recommend it for pe teachers. covers shooting, passing, dribbling, defense, offense, and transition.

Product Description

The rise to greatness of Steve Nash is as unlikely a story as ever told in the National Basketball Association. A hockey and soccer player as a kid in small town British Columbia, Steve was hardly a standout basketball player in his early teens. In his final year of high school, he had to beg NCAA recruiters to consider him for a scholarship. Only one didtiny Santa Clara University in California. After four years of tremendous play, Steve was drafted into the NBA by Phoenix, a dream come true for him. But his early years in the pro game hardly saw him develop into a superstar. It wasn`t until he was traded to Dallas and then returned to Phoenix years later that he developed into the finest point guard of his era.



Steve became the first Canadian ever to be named MVP of the league, and one of a rare few who was named MVP two years in a row! From his humble beginnings to becoming the best player in the game, Steve Nash: Most Valuable Player tells the story of a true basketball legend.
