"I believe that the measure of a person's life is the affect they have on others."

Former professional basketball player, Steve Nash is known for playing 18 seasons in the NBA, where he was an eight-time All-Star and a seven-time All-NBA selection. Nash was also a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player.
People would probably wonder as to why we don't trust NBA height listings? Well, Steve Nash is the reason for that.
That was a bit more dramatic than we had hoped to sound. What we mean is that Steve Nash clearly isn't 6-feet-3 inches tall (his official height) or anywhere close to it as a matter of fact.
We have noticed many inconsistencies in NBA height listings but perhaps Steve Nash's height is the most noticeable of them all.
From what we have seen of Steve Nash, he is around two inches shorter than his listing. Steve appears to be even shorter than a 6-feet-1 inches tall Barack Obama and has looked no less than 5 inches shorter than a 6-feet-5 inches Kobe Bryant.
When are those people at NBA are going to learn that 2 inches or 5 centimeters is a big deal -- wars have been fought for lesser reasons. Here is our official guess for Steve Nash's real height.
The height of Steve Nash is
6'1" or 185 cm

"You have to rely on your preparation. You got to really be passionate and try to prepare more than anyone else, and put yourself in a position to succeed, and when the moment comes you got to enjoy, relax, breathe and rely on your preparation so that you can perform and not be anxious or filled with doubt."
