Chronicles the life of young Canadian athlete Steve Nash and his sucessful journey from high school gym basketball to the world of the Phoenix Suns and the NBA
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The odds of an American high school basketball player making it to the NBA are approximately 7,600 to 1. For a Canadian, the odds are even longer. But Steve Nash beat those odds! On June 26, 1996, he was selected fifteenth overall in the first round of the National Basketball Association's entry draft. In Nash, the Phoenix Suns acquired a confident and dedicated team player, and one of the top point guards in the NCAA. Nash was West Coast Conference Player of the Year for two years in a row, and lead his team (Santa Clara Broncos) to three NCAA Tournaments in four seasons. Much more than a life story, Long Shot: Steve Nash's Journey to the NBA is the chronicle of a young athlete's progression through high school, university, international and professional sport. It reveals the pressures and expectations placed on high-calibre athletes, and describes the determination, commitment and support required to successfully make the journey from high school gym to the NBA hardwood. Long Shot is the story of a dream come true. Highly recommended reading for every aspiring athlete no matter what their sport! -- Midwest Book Review
