By now, if you know me, or if by chance you have nothing better to do with your life and you've read this blog, you know about my full-fledged man-crush on Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash. And I have my reasons. It's not just because he's a huge soccer fan. It's not just because he's a two-time MVP. It's not just because he plays basketball the way it is supposed to be played. It's not even because he's one of the genuinely nice professional athletes that I've gotten to interview.
It's because Steve Nash is a chameleon. A jack-of-all-trades. It's because he embodies what humanity should try to embody in life: creativity, hard work, a sense of humor, perserverance, having fun, humility.
I'm not trying to sit here on my little soapbox and tell you why you should like Steve Nash. (And I know I'm getting a little YouTube video crazy lately with these posts.) But do me a favor. Take a moment to watch these three videos and then ask yourself, "What's NOT to like?"

You definitely increased my fan-dom of Nash with this - who knew he was such a footballer? And I already loved the way he played basketball. If Letia and I end up in New York, I'll be on the lookup for him when I play pick up games. I think I know where that field is in the video - near Chinatown, south of Canal. Of course, lots of pitches look alike.
Really? That's cool. I think he and his wife and daughters live in NY during the offseason.
He's pretty much the awesomest guy ever. Did you hear that he recently became one of the chief investors in a women's soccer league?
