The Brooklyn Nets recently hired NBA Hall of Famer Steve Nash as the new head coach of the team on a four-year contract.
A two-time MVP and seven-time All-NBA player, Steve Nash has no prior coaching experience, which is why this decision that was taken by the Brooklyn Nets was met with mixed reception from the fans, former players, and journalists alike.

Steve Nash is considered one of the greatest point guards in the history of the NBA, and the job to take the Brooklyn Nets to the pinnacle of NBA basketball is most definitely a tough task for any coach, let alone one with no experience in doing so.
The Brooklyn Nets board has been busy since the 2019 off-season, in which they managed to snag two present-day superstars in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
Now, they have a superstar of yesteryear in Steve Nash, who will be hoping to achieve the same success as a coach as he enjoyed during his playing days. Interestingly, the Brooklyn Nets and Steve Nash are both yet to win an NBA Championship. Next season will be extremely interesting to follow, with Steve Nash and the Brooklyn Nets entering the fray with a healthy roster.

Former NBA champion Richard Jefferson was quick to shut down people who believe that the Brooklyn Nets hiring Steve Nash is a poor move.
Steve Nash has worked with the Golden State Warriors before, when Kevin Durant was still with the franchise. With a star point-guard in Kyrie Irving like GSW had in Stephen Curry, Steve Nash might want to run a similar offense with the Brooklyn Nets.
