The Phoenix Suns are bringing back a legend to the organization. MVSteve. The heartbeat of Phoenix for many years and the reason many folks became Suns fans in the first place.
Mat Ishbia took to social
media to announce the return of Nash to the Suns’ organization, stating, “Steve Nash was an amazing player and exactly what the Phoenix Suns are all about. His grit, toughness, and winning mentality have defined our organization in the past, and I’m so excited to share that Steve is formally joining the
@Suns as a senior advisor and will help us define our future for years to come!”
Nash, 51, has had quite the ride since retiring from the league in 2015.
He worked as a consultant for the Golden State Warriors, then as the head coach for the Brooklyn Nets, and was preparing for a media career as an analyst for Amazon Prime Video and a co-host on the Mind the Game podcast with LeBron James. He also maintains roles as a co-owner of the Vancouver Whitecaps FC soccer team and has a philanthropic foundation.
PHNX’s Greg Esposito said, “Everything I’ve heard is that changes nothing in terms of the Amazon role. Will be interesting to see how much he truly will be involved.”
The two-time MVP and Phoenix Suns Ring of Honor inductee should provide a strong voice in the Suns front office. The advisor title gives him some flexibility to be involved in whatever capacity he (and the team) are comfortable with, with the ability to scale up eventually.
A Suns legend forever in our hearts. Welcome back to the Valley, Steve.
