One of sports (http://mashable.com/sports/?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=) world's foremost renaissance men, Steve Nash, plays many roles: Lakers point guard, two-time NBA (http://mashable.com/category/nba/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) MVP, re**wned good-guy, budding filmmaker and father of three, just to to name a few.

But Nash is also a massive soccer fan — making this summer extra special for the greatest Canadian basketball player of all time.
