Steve Nash - the early years

I found this note when I was doing a little research on my boy Steve Nash ... couldn't help but laugh at the bolded sections:

Steve Nash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Although Nash's high school coach, Ian Hyde-Lay, sent letters of inquiry and highlight reels on Nash's behalf to over 30 American universities, Nash was not recruited by any university, until Santa Clara University head coach Dick Davey requested video footage of the young guard. After watching Nash in person, Davey said he 'was nervous as hell just hoping that no one else would see him. It didn't take a Nobel Prize winner to figure out this guy's pretty good. It was just a case of hoping that none of the big names came around.' However, Davey told Nash that Nash was 'the worst defensive player' he had ever seen.

Along the same lines as "worst defensive player ever" ... I remember when Kobe was first working out for the Lakers before they traded for him and Michael Cooper said he (Kobe) "couldn't defend a mannequin" ... classic!
