The man who never stops working, finally taking a break for a little vacation?

Steve Nash never strays too far from work, either on the court or off the court! According to some of his tweets seems like he might be taking a break to hit Jamaica for a well deserved vacation!
Check out this picture of him road side getting a quick refresher!

Few nights ago Steve was spotted once again at another Vancouver Canucks game! A proud Canucks fan Steve Nash was left not disappointed! "I'm extremely excited for the Canucks, as is everyone in British Columbia." Nash told the Vancouver Sun over phone conference. 
With Vancouver tying the game with less than 20 seconds left to go in regulation, pulling out a 3-2 win in a hard fought double overtime! Congrats Vancouver representing the rest of Canada in the Stanley Cup Finals!
"I'm definitely hope to make it back to B.C for some games in the Stanley Cup finals. It would be a big disappointment if I couldn't" Nash tells Vancouver Sun. We too hope to see you on the jumbotron at Rogers Arena!

Practice Run

A great new ad by Toyota Canada, doesn't need much to get the point across in this commercial. Simple idea yet gets the job done! Just the Nash we know!

"When Toyota came calling, Nash was listening, and they put together a great spot to promote their cars. It doesn't even mention the car in the entire commercial. All it talks about is Nash and how he feels to be a professional basketball player.

It follows Nash leaving his house for practice in the morning and all the sights and sounds he experiences during his day as the leader of the Suns. As he pulls into the facility, some of the local children are waiting for the local hero to give them an autograph.
Then, out of nowhere, a hilarious moment happens. What it is, I won't tell you, but with Nash having a great comedic voice, it comes off perfectly and leaves you chuckling at the end of it.
I hope this commercial starts going into regular rotation in America so we can all appreciate Nash for more than just his ability to run the point guard position better than most. Hopefully this catches the eye of some companies out there who will try to get Nash in more spots.
He has shown that he can carry an advertisement by himself with this piece."

3 Things You Don't Know About Steve Nash

I stumbled upon this article and had to share it with everyone i knew! Success Magazine did an article on Steve Nash and the three things a normal sports fan wouldn't know about Steve Nash. "Google “Steve Nash video” and see which search result emerges. A swift bounce pass to veteran teammate Grant Hill? Or a clever viral marketing campaign he produced for environmental causes and Fortune 500 companies alike? We’ll bet you 20 Canadian dollars it’s the latter." 


The article talks about all of Steve's success off court, his "Global Win's" with his Steve Nash Foundation which he started in 2001 which "serves “underserved” children, an important distinction from “underprivileged,” he says. “Every child deserves basic accommodations, food, shelter and care,” Nash explains. “It’s not a ‘privilege’ as much as a right. So that’s why we say these children are ‘underserved’ their basic needs.” 


Some of you may not know but Steve Nash has "A Passion for Learning"! Where did you think he got those unbelievable marketing skills from?  "Nash really has a knack for marketing and advertising. His experience several years ago as an unpaid intern at New York ad agency Deutsch Inc. (the Donnie Deutsch-founded agency created this year’s Super Bowl favorite, the Volkswagen mini- Darth commercial) gave him the footing he needed to be a “legitimate” force in the marketing world"


Steve Nash is also a "Sixty Million Dollar Man", Nash probably isn't far from actually being a $60 million dollar man with all these smart business ventures!  "Nash founded the social media company Apoko with fellow NBA star Baron Davis to help professional athletes manage their personal brands and understand what their social-media strategy should and shouldn’t be (Charlie Sheen, anyone?). Nash also has an ownership stake in Major League Soccer's Vancouver Whitecaps, for which his brother, Martin , plays. He most recently partnered with Deutsch Inc. ad agency executive Michael Duda to form a new venture capital company, Consigliere, which will invest in startup companies in sports, technology and other sectors." Some of you may remember those Nike commercials Nash did for his Nike Trash Talk shoes in 2009 for Earth Day. If not here's a refresher!  

We all know Steve Nash has the ability to "Making Others Better"he's making people better on and off the court as well! "Nash inherited athletic ability from his professional soccer player father (his brother, Martin, went on to play professional soccer, as well) but learned work ethic from both his parents. “If I had to pick one reason why I made it to the NBA, it would have to be that I worked hard,” Nash says. Sounds cliché perhaps, but hard work really was the factor that launched him to the NBA and propelled him to be among the elite players in the league today. An understated, and perhaps, underrated, star on the basketball court, Nash is a seven-time All-Star named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people. Charles Barkley writes of the guard, “What has he taught us? It pays to be selfless. You can be content just to make the players around you better.” That’s what he does. He’s good at making others better."


To a regular sports fan they may just think of Steve Nash "Just a ‘Short, White, Canadian Kid’" well there is some truth to that statement, he is considered short compared to the typical NBA player, he is a proud Canadian in the NBA and he is just a white kid! Nash had dreams of playing division 1 basketball in college but many people doubted him. What set him aside from other division 1 basketball players was his work ethic, you would never find someone so hard working and driven as Nash. Before or after a game or practice he was in the gym. His work ethic was beyond his years and helped him all the way to his two back-to-back MVP's!  "If his talent didn’t speak loudly enough for him, his work ethic did. In college, although he struggled against players of larger stature, he possessed a work ethic beyond his years. "
