Because in the past three seasons, Steve Nash won two MVPs. Nash was also very good in the 2006-2007 season, but Nowitzki's performance is even more eye-catching this season. He averaged 24.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and a career-high 3.4 assists. His 50.2% shooting rate is also the only player in the league with a shooting rate of over 50%. He has 41.6% accuracy from beyond the three-point line and from the free throw line. His performance was as high as 90.4%. These career highs also helped him be selected to the league's best first team for the third consecutive year. The Mavericks had a perfect regular season, with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses, making them the top seed in the league, with Nowitzki's efforts taking the greatest credit.
But unfortunately, in the first round of the playoffs, they unexpectedly lost to the Warriors, the eighth seed in the Western Conference, which became the biggest upset in the playoffs this season.
On February 7, 1974, Nash was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. He followed his parents around Europe and settled in Canada. Nash's father is a professional football player, and his mother Jean is also a sports fan. It is a typical sports family. As a child, Nash had many interests, including football, basketball, and ice hockey. He even won three chess championships. Perhaps this was the source of his high IQ on the court. Won the British Columbia Most Valuable Football Player Award. But thankfully, Nash finally chose basketball. Otherwise we would not be able to appreciate the style of a generation of legendary point guards today. If Nash chooses football, then he may be just an ordinary football player. Although football is the number one sport in the world, the salary is not very high. The annual salary of a top football player is about 10 million, but in the NBA There are too many people whose salary exceeds 10 million. Some NBA players with average abilities have such salary.
After graduating from high school, Nash decided to join the NCAA. He and his coach wrote letters of recommendation to more than twenty top NCAA universities, but the answer from each university was the same: Thank you, no need. In the end, Nash was recruited by the little-known Santa Clara University. It is said that Nash still retains the letters that were returned.
In 1996, Nash participated in the NBA draft, but NBA scouts generally were not optimistic about Nash because of his poor physical fitness, so Nash only played in Selected by the Suns with the 15th overall pick. After staying with the Suns for two seasons, on the day of the 1998 draft, the Mavericks used several substitute players and a first-round pick to acquire NASH from the Suns.
The Mavericks' No. One year, Nash failed to find his form, and what followed was ruthless booing from Dallas fans. With Cuban taking over the Mavericks, the Mavericks have undergone tremendous changes, and the three carriages have led the Mavericks to explode together. In the following 2000-2001 season, the Mavericks finally returned to the playoffs after 11 years and have since become one of the league's top teams.
In 2004, perhaps due to the reincarnation of fate, Nash returned to Phoenix. Then, the Suns ushered in an overwhelming, mercury-filled, dazzling offense, two consecutive years of MVP, Western Conference Finals, Best Coach, etc. Nash brought one surprise after another to Phoenix. I hope that in the near future, he Can bring the biggest surprise to Phoenix (~~of course it refers to the championship).
