Nets fans woke up Thursday morning to the surprising news that Hall of Fame guard Steve Nash is joining the organization as its next head coach.
Nash will lead stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in their push to bring a championship to Brooklyn despite having no NBA head coaching experience.
As a player, Nash was an eight-time All-Star and won back-to-back MVP awards with the Suns in 2005 and 2006 during his 18-year NBA career. He retired in 2014 and has served as a player development consultant with the Warriors for the past five years.
