Canadian Steve Nash, one of the NBA's most prominent point guards in recent years, became the new coach of the Brooklyn Nets, while Jacque Vaughn, who has held the position so far, will continue as one of his assistants.

The former player played for 18 seasons in the US league wearing the Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers jerseys, and was elected 'MVP' in the 2005 and 2006 seasons when he was a member of the Arizona franchise.

In addition, he was 'All Star' seven times, and currently ranks third in the history of assists with a total of 10,335.

"I am honored to have this opportunity with a world-class organization and would like to thank Sean (Marks, General Manager) and Joe (Tsai, Owner) and his wife, Clara, for having faith in my ability to lead this team forward. "Nash said in a statement on the Nets website.

For his part, Marks pointed out that in Nash they see "a leader, communicator and mentor who will earn the respect of the players."

"I have had the privilege of knowing him for many years and he has been one of the great leaders on the court in our game. I have witnessed firsthand his acumen in basketball and his selfless approach to prioritizing the success of the team," he remarked .
