Steve Nash (@the_real_nash) plays pickup games in China

This is a cool story. From ESPN's Ric Bucher:
Local park custom is that you buy a $3 entry ticket and wait for your number to be called to play, which Nash dutifully did. But the crush to play with and against him was so overwhelming that, through the help of a bilingual Chinese native, Nash organized a knockout 3-on-3 tournament, going undefeated while alternating teammates.


He was dressed in costume for the start of the pick up session, with "a bandanna around his head, wearing a pair of clear goggles, brown cutoffs and knee-high soccer socks." They recognized him anyway.

And there's video (thanks to Google Translate, I figured out how to embed it):
