"As a Canadian, Steve has always been proud to show his true colors. Most memorable was Steve leading Team Canada during the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Canada has had a basketball team in the Olympics 12 years prior to Sydney. Yet, with the leadership Steve provided, the Canadians finished 5-2 and 7th in the tournament, beating basketball powers like Yugoslavia and Russia. He recently took time out of a busy summer schedule to play for Team Canada to ensure a spot in the 2002 Basketball World Championships."
