Out of the entire history of the NBA, only 11 people have won Most Valuable Player awards multiple times. Steve nash rookie card is one of these people. He stands at six-foot-three and weighs less than 200 pounds.
In his first two seasons playing with the Phoenix Suns, things were not the best for him. It was in 1996 that he had arrived from Santa Clara and was met with Jason Kidd on the team, who did quite well at that time. Within this time he averaged less than 10 points a game and three assists.
In 1998, he was traded off to Dallas. While playing in Dallas, his game took a turn to all-star status. In 2004, listed as a free agent, he decided to go back with the Suns. The Suns now, would and could not imagine playing without him.
In 2004-05 and 2005-06, Steve Nash grabbed hold of the MVP title. A lot of this accounted to the improvement in his game. He became much better at layups and three pointers, which seemed to have a lot to do with Mike D’Antoni. Read more...
The name Savannah Brinson might sound familiar to you if you have been paying especial attention to celebrity news recently, but if it does not then you do not have to worry too much. She is better known as LeBron James girlfriend.
The couple are high school sweethearts and have been together for a long while. This goes against the norms in celebrity circles and even more so is the fact that they work closely together in the LeBron James Family Foundation. This is a charity organisation that helps out those who are less fortunate.
The couple has two sons, LeBron James Jr. Who was born in 2004 and Bryce Maximus James who was born in 2007. In July 2009, rumours are ciculating that Savannah is believed to be pregnant with their third child.
While there are usually certain disadvantages to being the girlfriend of such a high profile athlete, there doesn’t seem to be much news in the tabloids about the couple or LeBron James’ girlfriend. They have successfully managed to keep their everyday lives relatively private and often only end up on the glossy pages if they have attended a function or event. One wonders if they have made a conscious effort to stay away from the media because of the children or if they have learnt from the mistakes of other celebrities who have made their lives so public.
