Steve Nash & Friends Play Soccer in L.E.S. Today

The Phoenix Suns' Steve Nash is organizing a mini-soccer match for charity today at 5 p.m. Billed the "Showdown in Chinatown" (the game is at Sara D. Roosevelt Park, at Chrystie and Stanton Streets), other professional athletes expected to attend are soccer players Thierry Henry and Claudio Reyna and the NBA's Jason Kidd, Baron Davis and David Lee, Leandro Barbosa and Raja Belland. And could Nash's former coach and current Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni stop by?

Thierry Henry is the man...even if he hasn't produced much for Barca lately. Reyna's a waste of a DP slot for RBNY and is supposed to be "injured", yet found the energy to play the whole charity game. http://www.soccerbyives.net/soccer_by_ives/2008/06/reyna-display-a.html.
