Canada's Steve Nash leads the 2018 list of eligible nominees for the Basketball Hall of Fame. The two-time NBA MVP could become just the second Canadian player in the Hall, joining Vancouver-born Bob Houbreg, who was inducted in 1987. Nash, 43, is an eight-time all-star who won back-to-back MVP awards in 2005 and 2006 while with the Phoenix Suns. Along with Nash and Kidd, other notable first-time nominees are Ray Allen, Chauncey Billups, Grant Hill and Richard Hamilton. The finalists will be announced during the NBA's all-star weekend Feb. 16-18.
