Steve Nash

Steve Nash (I drew it)

My hero is Steve Nash. He was born on February 7, 1974 in Johannesburg, South Africa, but he grew up in Canada. He went to Santa Clara University on a scholarship and played basketball for the Broncos in the West Coast Conference of the NCAA. At the end of his college career he entered the 1996 NBA draft and was picked 15th by the Phoenix Suns. He was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 1998 where he played in his first NBA All-Star game and led the Mavericks to the Western Conference Finals. He was a free agent in 2004 and returned to the Phoenix Suns.

In 2001, Nash formed the Steve Nash Foundation. He helps kids who are sick, poor; neglected or abused to have better health and the chance to play. He is the sponsor of the Steve Nash Youth Basketball league in British Columbia that has over 10,000 participants. He played basketball and helped kids. Do you know why my hero was Steve Nash? Because he played basketball.

I learned that Steve Nash is a famous basketball player who helps kids and is unselfish and is “just a nice guy” who likes to help others.
