Watch Steve Nash footage from his high school days (Video)

Long before he became an NBA star, Steve Nash was wowing basketball fans in British Columbia.

Just watch the video above for some vintage footage of Nash doing his thing on the court as a teenager.

I wonder how many people taking in the B.C. high school basketball provincials that day at the Agrodome in Vancouver knew they were watching a future Hall of Famer and one of Canada's greatest athletes ever run the point for the St. Michaels Blue Devils. The Victoria, B.C., native led his school to the championship game in 1992, beating Pitt Meadows 76-48 in the final and was named the tournament MVP.

Nash retired on Saturday after 18 seasons in the NBA. He won the league's MVP award in 2004-05 and 2005-06 with the Phoenix Suns, was an eight-time All-Star, and is third all-time in assists behind John Stockton and Jason Kidd.

"I simply want people to remember me as a competitor and a great teammate," said Nash. "That’s it. Those are the two most important things."
