“This project with CBSSports.com combines two of my passions off the basketball court: the 'beautiful game,' known internationally as 'football,' and video production," Nash said in the release, according to the Sun. "I look forward to shooting some memorable pieces from South Africa and giving fans a unique and sometimes humorous look at the World Cup."
