Nash’s Jersey Retired And Raised

Two-time NBA Very Valuable Human Steve Nash had his jersey retired by Santa Clara University on Monday afternoon. The AP — or Apsy, as I like to call him — reports:

A banner honoring the Phoenix Suns guard was hung in the rafters at the Leavey Center, and Nash’s No. 11 jersey was raised on the opposite end of the gym. Nash is the first Santa Clara athlete whose jersey has been raised.

“This is obviously very exciting for me,” Nash said. “I don’t get a chance to come back to school often, so for me to be here is just great, and coupled with the huge honor it is to be able to be acknowledged for my career, is amazing and very humbling.”

No word on whether Nash’s new jeans were raised as well, but you can sure as hell bet he still likes soccer.
