Steve Nash explains his role in Phoenix

This season, Steve Nash will be distributing his thoughts and observations as he provided assists throughout his playing career. Already a member du podcast “Mind The Game” LeBron James and the Prime Video team, the new NBA broadcaster, we also know is a two-time MVP and a leadership advisor in Phoenix.

“Overall, I’m happy to be in basketball, to be able to watch, analyze, work with great people, whether with Prime or with the Suns”, he stated in front of other Prime consultants. “Don’t Forget Your Podcast”Dirk Nowitzki told him then.

But if we already know his work with LeBron James and now we will see him on the sets of the channel, what is his mission, which will be more behind the scenes, in Arizona?

“I’m here to help, to share my experiences”answer former Canadian playmaker. “We have a rookie coach, a rookie GM and a franchise trying to start from scratch. I had the opportunity to play in the NBA for 17 years, to coach in this league. It’s an opportunity to share my ideas about basketball.”

Bring an overview

Coach and GM Jordan Ott and Brian Gregory will have their heads in the wheel, while Steve Nash is less concerned about breaking news. This will be his advantage.

“I want to be a listening ear and give a different point of view. Sometimes an overview is really valuable when you are immersed in everyday life. This can take many forms. I want to help and provide a space where they can express themselves, explore, ask questions, exchange opinions and exchange experiences. »

It turns out that the former player and Jordan Ott know each other well since they worked together in Brooklyn. Steve Nash was the coach of the Nets at the time, and Jordan Ott was his assistant.

“Every minute we spend with him, we learn, because he is a thoughtful person”says the Suns coach. “Not only about basketball, but also about feelings. How we feel in the room, how we behave with others. We learn every second or minute with him.”
