Tweets, man crush Mondays, and Snapchats of Nathan Scott from "One Tree Hill" are everywhere. If you have watched "One Tree Hill" you will deeply appreciate this, and if you haven't hopefully this will give you an extra reason to give into the temptation and watch it.
1. His basketball skills are always on point.
And let's not forget how good he looks in that uniform. Number 23 forever!
2. He has a pretty hot body.
Don't get me wrong there are much more important reasons why girls everywhere wish Nathan wasn't just a fictional character, but this is definitely a bonus.
3. He totally got over his conceited jock phase.
As much as Nathan is loved he was pretty hard to like when he only cared about himself. Let's not even talk about how he treated Peyton. Let's quickly thank God he got out of that.
4. His relationship with Lucas.
Luckily for fans everywhere Nathan and Lucas’ rivalry turned into a strong friendship/brotherhood as the show went on. Nathan went from torturing Lucas when he first joined the basketball team, to having him stand by his side at his second wedding to Haley as his best man. The two truly form a brotherly bond as the show goes on, and what's better than two Scott brothers getting along?
5. He’s a loyal friend.
Not only was Nathan a good friend to Lucas, he was a great friend to Brooke, Peyton, Mouth, Skills, Chase, Clay and even Julian. Nathan was the go-to guy for relationship advice, career advice, and just someone to hang out with. Who wouldn't want to talk about their problems with Nathan at The River Court or Tric?
6. He is a great dad.
Is Jamie the luckiest kid in the world or what? Nathan devoted so much to being a great dad and nothing was cuter than how proud Jamie was of Nathan, especially his collection of old jerseys.
7. His willingness to step away from the game of basketball and his career when he felt it was necessary.
It was no secret how much Nathan loved basketball and fans everywhere rooted for him when he made it to the NBA. Throughout the show, there was such an emphasis on chasing dreams so seeing Nathan do that and respectfully stepping away for the sake of his health was extremely admirable.
8. His alter ego rapper identity.
He has some other skills besides being a basketball star and a great person, he is a pretty good rapper and dancer when the time is right. OTH fans will never forget when he stripped down and danced with Mouth and Skillz to get some money to buy Haley a prom dress, or when he would rap and slightly embarrassed Jamie.
9. His relationship with Haley.
Of course fans everywhere dream of a relationship like Haley, and idolize how their relationship grew throughout the show. Tutor girl and number 23 quickly grew into Mr and Mrs Scott who faced many obstacles but overcame them all and became the ultimate relationship goals. Naley is not just a fictional corny relationship, but guiding figures who teach fans through their characters the ups and downs of relationships and how to grow together. Naley really gets me every time.
10. His influence.
Last but not least Nathan Scott is definitely one of the most inspirational television show characters to ever grace the screens of people everywhere. Men and women alike can learn valuable life lessons from Nathan who throughout the entire show makes viewers motivated to overcome their problems and face their dreams. Whether it's in work, sports, family life, or tragedy Nathan is a true example of how important the little things in life are, and how important it is we follow our dreams and follow our hearts.
