As long as the National Basketball Association lockout continues, you won’t see Steve Nash in any game telecasts. But you’ll still see the two-time MVP during commercial breaks.

Currently, the Phoenix Suns point guard stars in TV ads for VitaminWater, EA Sports’ FIFA Soccer 12 videogame, and Toyota Prius. The VitaminWater ad was created by Crispin Porter + Bogusky, the EA Sports spot by Heat, and the Prius ad by Meathawk, a production company that Nash and his cousin-director Ezra Holland launched in 2008.
