Five Greatest Moments From Steve Nash's Career
With a career spanning over 18 years, Steve Nash made a habit of leaving the spectator dazzled with his artistry on the court.
It is almost impossible to pick out top 5 moments from 1217 games but we are going to give it a shot and see what comes out of it.

Nash came back to the court in the fourth quarter, with one eye stitched up and decided it was time to shut shop.
With an ice-cold triple to crafty floaters to timely assists, Nash put in 10 points and 5 assists in the final frame to hammer the final nail in the coffin of the Spurs and buried the bad memories of Gregg Popovich and co.
