Nash, 51, is a Hall of Fame former player who won two MVPs playing point guard for the Suns. He had a standout six-year stint with the Dallas Mavericks that included two third-team All-NBA selections, but had his best years in his second stint with the Suns from 2004-12.
Nash won back-to-back MVPs in 2005 and 2006 and starred alongside fellow All-Stars Amar’e Stoudemire and Shawn Marion on a roster that won three straight division championships and twice won 60-plus games in the regular season.

Those Suns never advanced to the NBA Finals, but they remain an indelible part of the franchise’s legacy.
Since retiring as a player in 2014, Nash spent two-plus seasons as the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets from 2020-23. He also served as a player development consultant for the Golden State Warriors starting in 2015.
He’ll now help guide the Suns front office as it looks to rebuild around Devin Booker.
