Would Nash’s arrival make Heat more palatable to NBA’s mainstream?

It seems like a match made in marketing heaven.

Steve Nash may be the most popular player without an NBA title, now that his friend Dirk Nowitzki hoisted the O’Brien Trophy with the Dallas Mavericks last season.

LeBron James took to Twitter today to mention in a bid for their first championship together.
