The Unheralded
A couple years ago who would have predicted that Canada would soon produce a #1 overall NBA selection, let alone what looks to be back-to-back #1 overall selections. When Wiggins goes #1 Canada will make history again in the NBA. This is a testament to a lot of hard work by a lot of people. Nash gets a lot of credit for his play but I think there are a lot of people all over the country who deserve a bigger pat on the back because Nash didn't coach these kids and there were already lots of great non-Canadian basketball role models.
That said, Nash no doubt created more interest in Canada and he's a future hall of famer so I'm not trying to take anything away from the man. I respect Nash a great deal.
