'I did skip the line in many aspects,' Nash said ... but here's why the former NBA MVP thinks he's the best man for the job.
"Well, I did skip the line, frankly," Nash said."But at the same time I think leading an NBA team [as a player] for almost 2 decades is pretty unique." "So, while I haven't necessarily learned some of the skills that I'll definitely seek to understand and learn as far as the technical aspects of coaching, I was never far from that.
" Nash says he learned"a tremendous amount" during his playing career -- and although"I haven't grinded it out as an assistant coach like many people's path," he says"there's a precedence for players who have strong careers and are leaders and thinkers to get this opportunity." The 2-time MVP says he will rely on support staff to fill the gaps where he needs help ... but is gunning to use his experiences as a player to lead the way. "I did skip the line in many aspects. At the same time, there's some experiences there that other people just aren't going to have because of the type of career [I had] in the league." Of course, Nash is considered one of the best guards in NBA history with 8 All-Star appearances and 7 total All-NBA selections.
