Steve Nash had a very tough past season. Injuries continually kept him from playing. But as we saw with the Grantland mini-series. Nash made it a mission to be back at 100%.
As it turns out. According to the Toronto Star, Steve Nash has been 100% all summer.
“I was playing soccer, and I went out there and after a few minutes I said, holy s—,” says Nash, on the phone from Los Angeles. “I’m 100 per cent. Stop, start, change direction, mobility, explosiveness — I could go as hard as I wanted. So the next step was, is this going to sustain itself? Because I was used to the whole ‘hey, something will happen in the next two weeks that will kind of knock you back.’
“And it never really happened. I just kept going all summer. I never really had a setback. And it allowed me to enjoy the summer in a way I couldn’t the previous summer, where I was rehabbing twice a day for five months, basically. I think it took a little pressure off me, and just a little bit of joy, where it’s life-giving, instead of crumbling.”
He mentioned that he didn’t enjoy last summer for obvious reasons. I think this is good news. The fact that he surprised himself that he was 100%, maybe he’s found a way to get onto the court.
Lucky for him. Preseason is about to begin. Time to put his health to the test.
