Canadian basketball legend Steve Nash is not only an MVP-caliber ball player.

The former Sun is also very skilled when it comes to hockey (duh, he's Canadian) and soccer.

The guy is a stud on the pitch, and while many Canadians or fans of his may already know that if they follow him on Instagram, Neymar may have found that out just now.

Earlier this week, the Brazilian soccer star sent out a challenge on Instagram to Lucas Lima, Philippe Coutinho, Arthur Gomes, Denilson, Gabriel Jesus, Robinho, Marcelo Vieira Jr., and Ronaldinho.

Thus far, only Marcelo has responded to the challenge.

 

While Neymar waits around for the others to respond, he can watch Nash who actually one-upped him in his response to the crazy challenge.

 

 

@neymarjr Challenge accepted irmão! Ginga!

First of all, anyone saying this challenge is easy, we guarantee it's not.

Second, Nash one-upped Neymar in the sense that he used both feet with obviously makes it more difficult.

Lastly, for those that think Nash got lucky, again, the man loves the beautiful game and it's all skill, not luck.

 

 

I'd like to thank the fans for pretending to know who I was today. Love being back at the Lane! COYS

Now, we shall see if Neymar makes things more difficult and responds to Nash, but at the end of the day, it's all friendly competition between to wonderful athletes that may even be friends.
