Reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns is being recognized with another honor -- his own Wheaties box. The package was unveiled today at the US Airways Center. Nash is the first Suns player to appear on the Wheaties box.
Nash, currently averaging more than 19 points and leading the league with over 10 assists per game, has his Suns poised for another strong playoff run.
Nash has made significant contributions off the court as well, including founding The Steve Nash Foundation in 2001 to help underserved children in their development and education.
"Appearing on the Wheaties box is a great honor for me," Nash said. "The list of basketball greats who have been on the box through the years is legendary, with guys like Jordan, Bird, West and Cousy. I'm honored to be included among that group."
"Steve Nash provides a great source of inspiration for anyone who is reaching for their dream," said Eric Treschuk, Wheaties Marketing Manager. "No one works harder or plays the game more unselfishly, but his dedication and perseverance truly set him apart. Wheaties is thrilled to welcome him into the family."
The new 12- and 18-ounce Steve Nash Wheaties packages will be sold nationally by the end of April.
