STEVE Nash is in the conversation with Magic Johnson as one of the greatest NBA point guards of all time.

Now the two-time NBA MVP is seeking to emulate Johnson’s ever-expanding business empire.

Nash has transformed his $146million career earnings into a wide-ranging portfolio that ranges from major sports teams to a film production company.

The 49-year-old is a long-time investor in MLS club Vancouver Whitecaps, who are worth $415million according to Sportico.

The Hall of Famer is also a part owner of LaLiga club RCD Mallorca, which was acquired by a group led by disgraced former Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver for just $24million in 2016.

The Canadian also has a stake in the National Lacrosse League club Las Vegas Desert Dogs and investments in men’s clothing brand Legends, movement training app Block Training and juice company Liquid Nutrition.

Nash also has a film production company called Meathawk Productions and has advertised companies such as Nike, Vitamin Water, Dove Men, and Raymond Weil watches over the years.

He previously had investments in a series of health and fitness clubs in Canada.

In 2010, Nash made his biggest splash in the business world when he partnered with advertising executive Mike Duda to launch marketing consultancy and venture capital firm Consigliere.

The company has since rebranded as Bullish Inc, with investors including Birchbox, Casper, Warby Parker, Peloton, Darby Smart, and ALOHA, among others.

“I want to build something special and be a part of exciting growth with different companies and at the same time not impact by kids’ chances of going to college,” Nash told Forbes.

Nash says former Lakers point guard Johnson – who recently added the NFL’s Washington Commanders to his portfolio – is his business idol.

“Magic Johnson’s ability to network and partner with people and add value to brands he is involved with is a model I want to replicate,” Nash said.
