Lakers Fans Hand Steve Nash a Beer on the Freeway (VIDEO)

Steve Nash is one of the hottest news items in NBA this summer, after the two-time MVP point guard for the Phoenix Suns was traded to longtime team rival, the Los Angeles Lakers.

And in case he had any doubts about the switch, some fun-loving fans gave him a warm welcome on the freeway this weekend.

Nash sent this tweet on on Friday:

LA, thanks for the warm welcome… twitvid.com/1LKG6

The tweet included a video of the 38-year-old basketball star riding in a taxi cab and lining up with an SUV in the next lane in order to be passed a can of Keystone Light through the car windows. That’s some hand-eye-wheel coordination, right there.
