The South African born native of Canada, Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash, has been named the General Manager of Basketball Canada. Despite being involved in trade rumors, it looks like Nash already has his occupation for life after basketball. Nash has been one of the NBA’s best point guards for over a decade, including being an eight time All-Star and two time Most Valuable Player. Nash was introduced as the new GM on Twitter before a noon press conference by Basketball Insider:

I am pleased to announce that @SteveNash will be named as the new General Manager of Basketball Canada at a noon press conference today.
