註釋Steve Nash is one of the NBA's hot young All-Stars, leading the Dallas Mavericks from the bottom of the league standings to becoming one of the top teams. Long Shot tells the story of Nash's journey from a Canadian high school gym to the NBA hardwood. Author Jeff Rud reveals the pressures and expectations that are placed on high-caliber athletes and describes the determination, commitment, and support required to realize an NBA dream. Nash led his college team, the Santa Clara Broncos, to three NCAA Tournaments in four seasons. On June 26, 1996, he was selected fifteenth in the first round of the NBA draft -- the highest ever for a Canadian. After a frustrating first few years in the NBA (he spent time on the bench in Phoenix on a team stacked with point guards), Nash has finally broken through as one of the best players at his position.
