Today\u2019s Snkrs Day\u2019 Throwback Thursday<\/em> takes us back to the mid-2000s NBA era, during the prime of Phoenix Suns uptempo-style basketball led by 2x NBA MVP, Steve Nash, and his Nike Cradle Rock<\/strong> signature sneaker.<\/p>\n

Steve Nash isn\u2019t your average or typical point guard. Rather, he had a very unique personality and flare that ultimately shined bright like a diamond several years into his storied career.<\/p>\n

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Nash moved to Canada where he became a multisport prodigy in hockey, soccer and basketball. A graduate of Santa Clara University and member of the legendary 1996 NBA Draft Class, Nash initially was relegated to third-string point guard behind All-Star point guards Jason Kidd and Kevin Johnson and saw limited playing time during his rookie and sophomore seasons.<\/p>\n
