He is virtually flawless at the free-throw line shooting an uncanny 91% from the stripe during the 2007-08 season.

Steve Nash is clearly a hell of a competitor…an artist at work…he wants to apply his craft, his skill, his art…he just wants to win.

Ron Howard

I think the common thread between Iconoclasts is their passion, their sacrifice…to accomplish what they want to do…somebody who’s accomplished something on a really grand scale.

Steve Nash

Ron Howard and Steve Nash are very, very similar people…their public image…of being a good guy, a sweet guy…is true.
