His nicknames include Hair Canada (punning Vince Carter's nickname, also due to Nash's shaggy coif), Kid Canada and Nasty Nash, given to him by former teammate Shawn Bradley for "personifying all that is nasty". The nickname Nashty is a slight variation of the nickname given by Bradley but is used by the fans.
