Steve Nash, the chemist, the leader.

When it comes to building team chemistry, Steve Nash knows how to get it done. Steve is a very good example of how to lead by example.
"The Suns might have realized they had acquired a special player when Bryan Colangelo, the Suns' general manager, walked into the gym at 7 a.m. and saw Nash working out a month before he reported to camp. "Steve really set the tone," Colangelo said.
By the time the Suns' other free agent, Quentin Richardson, came to town a week later, the whole team was assembled. "I was like, 'Wow,' " Richardson said. "We had a chance to get our chemistry together quickly."

Small things matter, and it seems that Steve understands this.
"One of the ways Nash helped to build that chemistry was by renting out a Phoenix theater so his teammates could watch a movie without being bothered."
I'd call this a brilliant move. I am sure it isn't the easiest thing for NBA players to just go to a movie. No, this isn't Blazer related. I just thought it was a neat bit of insight.
