Steve Nash praises Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who recently became the second Canadian to win the NBA MVP award, claiming he is on the path to being compared to basketball legends like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

Nash commented on how Gilgeous-Alexander’s recent performance against Nikola Jokić showcases his remarkable skills, stating:

“I mean, he’s heading way past me. He’s a historic player already. The fact that he won over Nikola Jokić, who’s in the conversation of the best players ever, speaks volumes about his incredible season.”

Nash recognizes the hesitance to draw parallels between current players and legends but insists that Gilgeous-Alexander’s unique talents justify such comparisons.
