The Sixers were playing some high level basketball with one of the league best teams in the Phoenix Suns. The first half was all Sixers as they raced out to a 66-54 lead at the break. The second half proved to be a different story as Amare Stoudemire and Steve Nash got more assertive and helped the Suns rally back to eventually beat the Sixers 119-115. Nash finished with a stellar performance notching 21 points and handing out an amazing 20 assist. Jason Richardson was lights out finishing with 29 points, hitting 6-8 from downtown. Jared Dudley off the bench also was feeling it from beyond as he went 4-5 for three finishing with 18 points to really boost the bench production.For the Sixers, Andre Iguodala had a good night as he scored 24 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. Marreese Speights gave the Sixers instant offense off the bench as he recorded 20 points and grabbed 8 rebounds.

Steve Nash is the Suns “designated driver”.
Sure, it may sound a little strange but after spending my Saturday evening as a “D.D.”, it seems to make a lot of sense.
We’ve all been there. A night where your friends want to go out and imbibe a few adult beverages but you can’t partake because [...]

The 6th Man: Steve Nash is the 2005 NBA MVP. He was the catalyst for the most exciting team in the League last season. And, from our experience, he’s one of the coolest and least-affected guys in the game. Given all that, he’s more than earned his first SLAM cover.
So here it is.
With all due respect to Nashty Nash, though, I’m gonna use the...

Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash showed up at a basketball camp with a shaved dome. No hair. No greasy hair. No annoyingly greasy hair.

Also another 20-point, 20-assist performance from Steve Nash.
