Wow – Steve Nash has done amazing things both for the youth of Victoria and for the game of basketball. Mr. Nash is an example of what a famous athlete can do to help their home community. He lives a clean lifestyle, and gives back. I think it’s great that he got an honourary degree. For those of you writhing in jealousy, and exposing your ignorance of the facts – you could learn something from this great athlete, and great human being.
Yes, the “bird” has everything to do with BC First Nations – it was presented to the university and is a treasure.

don’t hate. Appreciate. I don’t blame those who have not experienced undergraduate, graduate and doctorate convocations. Those goofy looking gear that Nash was rockin are the traditional graduation attire for specific graduates or doctorates. The bird culprit is strange as well, but I m guessing it would have something to do with the heritage of British Columbia First Nations natives.

#12 is retarded. An ignorant fool living in a well, with no capacity to learn about the world outside.

Canadian post secondary institutions are globally recognized.
Especially in law. Canadian and US law schools usually require an undergrauate degree before entering law school, where as U.K and Australian schools only require highschool grades to get into law school.

Anyhow, this is only an honorary doctorate. Why hate?

Positive news for the NBA is always gd.

I agree with 14. #12 shut up. You don’t know what you’re talking about. No one would think you’re a mute if you don’t talk.

“A Canadian doctorate isn’t internationally accepted”

Man that crack you be smoking must be strong. Where do you even get off making stupid comments like this? You just make shit up as you go along . . .

As a resident of Nash’s hometown, I think its great that UVIC gave him an honorary degree. I don’t think Americans know how difficult it was for him to get to the NBA. He only got one scholarship offer from a U.S. university. Even then, he only got the offer when the Santa Clara coach saw him play on a recruiting trip.

a candian doctorate isn’t internationaly accepted so good for him. and everybody who doesn’t have a scholarship has to work they butt of to get all of it paid and because he’s famous he could just walk in and out between playing basketball and promoting well everything he wants.

Adonal Foyle. Shane Battier. JJ Redick. Emeka Okafor. Etan Thomas. Either Lopez twin? Roger Mason?

it’s the university’s perogative. I know Bill Cosby’s got a ton of honorary degrees. The only thing is, the recipient usually has some kind of connection to the field they get the honorary degree in. I’ve never heard of Nash doing charitable work in the legal field. But whatever, it’s Canada – who knows.
