Yesterday was the second annual Steve Nash and Claudio Reyna, ‘Showdown in Chinatown’, charity soccer game. Nash of NBA basketball fame, and Reyna from the US National Soccer team bring in their respective star athlete colleagues to entertain the New York City crowd with a competitive but fun soccer match in Roosevelt Park, Manhattan. Some of the stars on hand include:
Claudio Reyna (US Soccer), Steve Nash, Tony Parker, Grant Hill, Chris Bosh, Javier Zanetti (Inter Milan), Salomon Kaou (Chelsea), Adrian Mutu (Fiorentina), Marc Stein (ESPN basketball writer), Ryan Babel (Liverpool), Mathieu Flamini (AC Milan), Edgar Davids (retired, Juventus & others), Quincy Owusu Abeyie (Spartak Moscow), Martin Nash (Steve’s brother who also plays professionally for the Vancouver Whitecaps), Ivan Cordoba (retired, Inter Milan & others)
We want to give Big League Screw a big shout out for letting us know about the event. Below you will find some video footage the New York Post took at the event. For more information and pictures on the event, and to have a few more laughs at Chris Bosh’s expense, then head on over to Big League Screw. They got the goods.
