♪Is your game MVP like Steve Nash?♫ ~ Nelly Furtado

My fave *MAV* duo: Dirk Nowitzki (#41) & Steve Nash (#13) ~ Bobble Heads & Nesters of my exclusive sports memorabilia collection

Steve Nash: an accomplished athlete
My ♣lucky No. 13♣ has been †blessed† with his mad skills as
- a baller on the court, as well as
- ♠kicked ace♠ on the soccer field and
- faced off on the ♦hockey rink♦! ✌
