Suns guard Steve Nash attended the Olympic Opening Ceremonies in Vancouver on Friday night before traveling to Dallas for All-Star Saturday night.

Nash, who also carried the Olympic torch through Vancouver earlier in the week, helped light the Olympic cauldron.

"The energy and the atmosphere surrounding the Olympic Games, especially on my home soil, is phenomenal," said Nash, who grew up in British Columbia.

"There are people from all over the world there and there are people from all over the world watching. Just to be at home, hosting the world and to be part of it in the way I was is indescribable."
