John Stockton. Jason Kidd. Steve Nash. This is the legacy that the 41-year-old point god and former two-time MVP will leave after 18 seasons in the NBA. Needless to say, he didn’t leave the league unscathed.
Nash battled numerous injuries in the latter stage of his career, and is arguably one of the toughest guards to play the game–often at the receiving end of some of the vicious blows the NBA has to offer. Here are some of those moments:
BLOODY LIP
BLOODY LIP + CHIPPED TOOTH
BROKEN NOSE
ONE EYE
HIP CHECK
