Having Steve Nash running your team makes you a lot smarter.
When you have somebody out there that's willing to work for the team first, that's contagious. In Phoenix, I learned that from Steve Nash, Grant Hill, so many different guys. When you're playing with somebody like Steve, like Grant, that just passes on to you.
What Steve Nash and Chris Paul do is they kind of hide your weaknesses.
My father was a footballer. I used to play a lot as a kid, but not like a team or something, just with my family having fun. It makes your legs stronger and helps your co-ordination.
A lot of people, a lot of players, come to the league knowing 'I can do that, I can do this, I can do a lot of stuff.' But at the end of the day, what the team needs from you is what makes sense for the team. You have to do what's best for the team.
Steve Nash is the most unathletic player in the league.
I think coaching Steve Nash is easy no matter if it's a good or bad start.
Nash was a purist. Steve's a Hall of Fame point guard. He was unbelievably good.
Steve Nash is just so smart. He's one of the most down-to-earth people you'll ever meet.
Looking back, I truly appreciate just how fortunate I was to play with a guy like Steve Nash.
You've got to turn over every stone; you've got to look for every advantage. You need to make sure you're doing everything you possibly can, not just on the field but off it, to give your team an advantage - from having a sleep expert coming to talk to your team to having an independent analysis of your team done.
I'm not a Steve Nash or a Magic Johnson who is going to come out and throw 15 assists and do all these crazy passes, that is not me and it's not my game.
Just watching Steve Nash growing up, and what he did with Amare - you can't play with a better point guard than him.
Whether it's physically having a visual of what you want to accomplish in front of you, like a running list or a vision board, or mentally visualizing and taking time to meditate, having a vision of what you are running for keeps you from running for the sake of running.
We get paid a lot of money to do what we do, and there's a lot of people who are dependent upon that car running well and us getting everything out of it as a team. So I'm very, very loyal to my team and the company.
I already said to D-Wade and Steve Nash and those guys, 'I don't know how you guys do it.' Of course, I want to be a famous basketball player, but not to that standpoint where you go out and you don't have peace. You cannot enjoy your personal life. I would rather be with my family and do what I want.
So, the Phoenix Suns are wearing jerseys written in Spanish, made in China, modeled after their best player, Canadian Steve Nash. There you go. That is America.
