It was a night of nostalgia and emotion inside Talking Stick Resort Arena Friday night, as the Phoenix Suns officially welcomed legendary point guard Steve Nash into the franchise’s hallowed Ring of Honor.

Below, we’ve compiled some of the top tributes and moments from Nash’s Ring of Honor ceremony which took place during halftime of the Suns’ tilt versus the Portland Trail Blazers.
