Built Ford Tough Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) Suns guard Steve Nash(notes) showed up in disguise at a Beijing pick-up game over the weekend, hoping to shoot some hoops incognito. Unfortunately, he forgot his fake mustache and monocle. "I had on a Chinese opera bandana and I had on some protective goggles," Nash told the AFP, laughing. "As soon as I walked on they recognized me. It didn't really work." Really? Could have fooled me. I thought that was Horace Grant. Nash is in China for the week doing promotional and charity work. After a few three-on-three half-court games with local regulars, Captain Canada crossed over to the nearby soccer pitch to play a little footy http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Poorly-disguised-Nash-joins-Beijing-pick-up-game?urn=nba,186186 http://a323.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sports_nba_experts__31/ept_sports_nba_experts-211458204-1251739244.jpg?ymspZ0BDzlMgUfc_ Click on the link for the rest of the pictures. Nash definitely sounds like a really cool guy. From things that I have heard/read/seen from him, he seems like he would be a lot of fun to hang around with for a day.

La Bomba Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I lost all respect for Nash when he had a Real Madrid scarf in the game against Toronto FC and than goes out and says he's a Barcelona fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesus Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I think a disguise is supposed to bring less attention to you. I don't think Nash really cared, it was obvious it was just for fun. He seems like he really loves fans and being with just average people. Couldn't ask for a better guy, he seems ever down to Earth.
