After 19 NBA season’s Steve Nash has finally decided to call it quits. Plagued with injuries the past few seasons, the 2-time MVP’s career didn’t end the way anyone wanted, but in his prime, he was the catalyst of the most efficient offenses in recent memory.
He’ll be a Hall of Famer some day, and he broke the news himself on The Players’ Tribune. Here’s some of what he wrote, but check out his full letter at The Players’ Tribune:
