Colourful Steve Nash basketball court unveiled in Vancouver (PHOTOS)
A basketball court in East Vancouver has been given a fresh coat of paint and a new name.
It’s now the coolest place to play ball in the entire city.
The Nash Family Court was unveiled on the PNE grounds in Vancouver on Saturday, in honour of Steve Nash. The Victoria native was recently inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Lots of Agrodome memories here . . . .

Three-hundred gallons of paint was used in the completion of the court, which displays a number of his accomplishments – from his back-to-back NBA MVP awards to being a father of four – on the sidelines.
