Steve Nash suggests that Ronaldo will never be as good as Messi
Steve Nash playing at the NBA, for the Phoenix Suns in 2012

Phoenix Suns point-guard, Steve Nash, used hisTwitter personal page to allegedly hint thatRonaldo doesn't have a single chance to reachLionel Messi's level. The Canadian NBA player quoted some unknown "wiseman" to point that even if Ronaldo did 6000 daily sit-ups, he would still fall short to Messi.

Steve Nash is an NBA player, currently playing as a point guard for the Phoenix Suns and a self-confessed fan of football (or soccer, as they like to call it in theUnited States). The Canadian basketball player decided to use his Twitter page this past Monday, to sparkle the debate between Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo andBarcelona's Lionel Messi. With both players scoring a brace during the weekend,Nash wrote that some wise man once said that it doesn't matter if Ronaldo does 6000 sit-ups per day, because he'll never be as good as Lionel Messi.

Mostly known for what he has accomplished in the NBA over the past decade, Steve Nash never hid that he is big fan of football/soccer. He's also a Tottenham Hotspurs fan, which is explained with the fact that he's father was born in England, in the Tottenham district of London. However, it has been on the NBA basketball courts that Nash keeps extending his on-going remarkable career, even though he isn't as tall as many other NBA players, since Nash's height is roughly 6ft 1in (185cm).
Now being 38-years old, Steve Nash can already be proud of having won the NBA MVP award twice in his career (2004-2005 and 2005-2006) and has only played in two teams since he turned into a professional basketball player, the Dallas Mavericks(1998-2004) and the Phoenix Suns (1996-1998 and 2004-present). He was drafted by the Suns as the 15th pick back in 1996, but he has definitely proved his true value throughout the years. Nash is the ranked 2nd at the NBA's all-time free-throw shooting percentage, with 90,3% on his stats and more than 3,000 shots taken (from 3184 attempts so far, he made 2875). Named as one of the 100 most influential people in the World by "Times" magazine in 2006, Steve Nash has also earned 8 presences at NBA All-Star teams (2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2012).

When outside the basketball courts, Steve Nash has already said that he follows several European football leagues with great interest. This past weekend, after another brilliant display from both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in helping their clubs getting the 3 points in La Liga with 2 goals each, Nash felt the urge of leaving a quick remark on the Portuguese and Argentinian rivalry.

Also a big fan of Twitter, Steve Nash made a post this last Monday, where he presumably reveals his preference for Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo. However, the Canadian seem to have picked a strange way to approach the issue as he posted the following: "Cristiano Ronaldo 2 goals, Messi 2 goals, but a football wiseman said once: 'I don't care if Ronaldo does 6000 sit-ups, because he'll never be as good as Messi'. True?", posted Nash. The puzzling question at the end of his post may however still leave room to speculation on wheter he really thinks thatMessi is a better than Ronaldo or not.

The mentioned 6000 sit-ups appear as a sort of exaggeration and joke, sinceRonaldo allegedly had a training and workout routine where he included 3000 sit-ups per day, as it has been reported in a Daily Star news story that quoted a Ronaldoclose source, back in 2009.
