Lakers star Steve Nash To Try out For Inter Milan
Los Angeles Lakers star guard Steve Nash is reportedly looking to make a career shift by scheduling a try-out with Italian football powerhouse Inter Milan.
It's a dream come true to get a chance to try out, not just to try out but to take the field with Inter Milan, one of the great, storied franchises in professional sports. I feel like a little kid," Nash told the Associated Press via ESPN Los Angeles.
The two-time NBA MVP said he's going to have some butterflies in stomach once he practices with several football players he looked up to for his entire life.
"It's going to be a lot higher than it is playing basketball, for sure," Nash added. "I still get nervous for basketball games from time to time. When I get out on the court, I don't get nervous, but before. To go out there with guys that I look up to and watch play, it's definitely going to raise the nerves. I'll be really nervous and really excited."
Nash is expected to make his tryout in front of Inter-Milan Scouts in New Jersey, a couple of days before the football club takes on Chelsea in Indianapolis.
