Steve Nash Retiring For Politics?

The Phoenix NewTimes is reporting that Steve Nash will leave the Suns effective November 15th. According to their story, he is doing so to run for mayor of Victoria, Canada. They say his eventual goal is to be the prime minister.

This story has not been confirmed yet. If it is true, wow oh wow. I will have much to say and what a disappointment it'd be.

Until this is fact checked, what do you think about this news? Did your jaw drop?

UPDATE: Thankfully, it was a hoax! The Nash era will continue.
