Steve Nash: “I’m the Canadian Jeremy Lin.”

Caught this on Phoenix Suns' beat reporter, Paul Coro's Twitter yesterday.  2012 NBA All-Star point guard, Steve Nash, gave his thoughts on Jeremy Lin after the Suns' loss to the Lakers on Friday night.

(via the Tuscon Citizen):

“It’s great when someone who is unheralded, undrafted and overlooked proves everyone wrong,” said Nash, whose one scholarship offer from Santa Clara was one more than Lin got out of Palo Alto, Calif.  “(Lin) reads situations well. He’s a tremendous player. He fits the system. To fit the system, you have to be a great player.”  Following the Suns’ 111-99 loss to the Lakers, Nash told the Chinese media, “I’m the Canadian Jeremy Lin.”
