After retired guard Stephon Marbury declared that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is now the greatest Canadian basketball player of all time, SGA pushed back on the comment.
While he graciously accepted the compliment, SGA admitted that he has not yet achieved enough to hold such a prestigious title.
Instead, he firmly believes that Steve Nash rightfully deserves the recognition as the greatest Canadian basketball player of all time.
SGA remarked, “Steve is still ahead of me. I’m going to try to catch him, but he’s still ahead of me.”
Nash, who played for the Phoenix Suns during two separate stints, amassed an impressive list of accolades throughout his Hall of Fame career.
