You don’t have to be a fan of the Suns, Mavs, or Lakers to be a supporter of his, either. His record and sportsmanship speaks volumes and he deserves our respect. This book takes a look at his early years, explaining why his family moved from South Africa to North America, and continues through his high school, college, and professional basketball years. Some of the information you may know, but most you may not. We get bits and pieces of trivia from the sportscasters covering the games, but nothing like this, nothing chronological and peppered with clips of his personal life and endeavors. When I finished the book, I thought how it read much like ESPN’s segment special, 30 for 30. Honestly, this is the perfect script. It’s compelling. We see how this NBA great has matured through the years, both on and off the court, yet how he still embodies the same admirable qualities that got him where his is today. No doubt the author is a loyal fan of sports; his careful attention to detail and enthusiasm show in every chapter. Steve Nash: The Inspiring Story of One ofBasketball’s Greatest Point Guards is a first rate biography and deserving of all 5 stars. Review: An Inspirational Journey - This book does a wonderful job of highlighting the journey of Steve Nash from his early life, to Santa Clara University, to the NBA. It is engaging, well-written, and full of interesting information. I particularly loved how inspirational the story was! I would recommend it to any fans of Steve Nash or basketball in general.
