What is this thing called Showdown?

NBA stars.  Soccer’s best.  An urban field.  A sweet 8-a-side game of futbol in the middle of a city benefiting children’s programs on three continents.

On Friday, September 18th, as part of the weekend’s festivities, Nash attended a $1500-a-head dinner, organized and hosted by David and Manjy Sidoo at DB Bistro Moderne.

The sumptuous 4 course dinner, with proceeds going to the Steve Nash Foundation, was prepared by Stephane Istel and Daniel Boulud. Guests mingled with the likes of Nash, Trevor Linden, the Aquilinis and others. Attendees also received a $1400 tax receipt.
