Steve Nash will forever be remembered as one of the best passers and shooters of all-time.

As a lethal passer and shooter, it was unpredictable what Nash was going to do next. As a shooter, Nash shot an unbelievable 49 percent from the field over the course of the career, and is a four-time member of the 50-40-90 club. The prestigious club has only seven members, and Nash and Larry Bird are the only two players to ever achieve the feat in multiple seasons. Bird did it twice, while Nash did it four times. To make it even more impressive, Nash finished with career numbers of 49-42-90, only one percent away from averaging a 50-40-90 season in his career.

Besides his efficient shooting, Nash was famous for his incredible passing. He led the league in assists five times, and finished third all-time in career assists. He averaged 8.5 assists per game over the course of his career.

Further, Nash was a back-to-back MVP from 2005-06, an eight-time NBA All-Star, and a three-time All-NBA First Team selection. His #13 was retired by the Suns, and he will be remembered in NBA fans hearts forever.
