3-on-3: Steve Nash All-Star edition

When Steve Nash made his first All-Star appearance 10 years ago, not even his mother could have dreamed he would one day become an eight-time All-Star, as he is today. Yet of course Nash has only gotten better with age and tomorrow evening he will become the third-oldest player to ever suit up for an All-Star Game (a 38-year-old Karl Malone was voted in but did not play); only Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were older All-Stars.

In honor of Nash’s most recent All-Star appearance, the ValleyoftheSuns team goes 3-on-3 to discuss Two Time’s present greatness and his future.

Nash’s 10.9 assists per game puts him the same distance ahead of second-place Rajon Rondo as Rondo leads No. 7 Tony Parker. At this point it almost seems like Nash could lead the league in assists with the Washington Generals.
