What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Sharp and insightful…. This book does a more than credible job of capturing the particular genius of Steve Nash.”
—Times Colonist
“The details of the patriotic overtures…are fascinating…. [O]n the radar of most BC hoops fans.”
—The Province
“The writing is compelling…. Interviews with coaches and teammates, as well as Nash himself, add depth and perspective.”
—Publishers Weekly
“The bio piece brings Nash’s start in Victoria back to life with new relevance, with a revisionist approach based on modern sports science…. The authors unearth telling data through interviews with legendary Vikes coach Ken Shields and 1980s Vikes player Ian Hyde-Lay.”
