    Nash should not have won either MVP award. He is a laughable MVP and history will continue to show he didn't deserve the aware. The only reason he has two is because he won it in 2005 when he didn't deserve it, and because he improved all his numbers, he had to win it in 2006 even though again, he did not deserve it. You shouldn't be the MVP when you are a complete liability on one side of the court.

    ​@@ThatDudeCurtis6Nash was one of the best point guards ever. His passing was unreal and the way he created chances both for himself and his teammates. Although I agree that Nash didn't deserve the 2006 mvp, he lead his team to the WCF and averaged 15 points and 12 assists in 2005. Even if his stats aren't that impressive at first glance. MVP's aren't just based off of stats. Nash is an amazing point guard, not a laughable mvp. He is one of the key reasons why the Suns were a championship contender for most of his time there. Please appreciate his greatness.

    Top 5 shooter all time with an almost career average of 50/40/90, every team he played with had the top offense in the league, revolutionized the game. Would have scored a lot more in today's offense (which he pioneered) and wishes he would have shot more in his time. Whenever they weren't playing well he could easily take over and score 40+ points in a game. Was a textbook MVP both years. The first year because he took them from 20 wins to 60 wins and the top offense in the league, while all metrics showed when he wasn't on the floor they sucked. The following year they lost their 2nd best player for the season in Amare Stoudemire and they still won over 50 games. Would have a ring too if the malice in the palace didn't happen and the league wasn't on edge to ban players who stood up to fight. For some reason people think Kobe deserved the 06-07 MVP because he simply chucked more to 35ppg on terrible efficiency, and his team barely made the playoffs with a .500 record. Madness.

    Finally, someone who remembers the past clearly. There is a certain kind of fan who loves players like Kobe and doesn't respect people like Nash. I'm not going to bring race into this because I think it's cultural, not racial. Both Kobe and Steve were brilliant basketball minds, but the main difference between them was that Kobe was dominated by his ego. His pride prevented what could have been and even better career. You said it: Kobe would force up difficult shots, shooting the Lakers OUT of games as often as he carried the day. I know this well, I was a Lakers fan during Kobe's prime and I wanted to tear my hair out whenever Kobe decided he needed to "take over" a game. The fans love Kobe's "alpha" attitude and assholery, but don't appreciate a player like Nash who did whatever it took for his team to win. Yes, I know that Kobe was a top tier defender and Nash wasn't, and I'm not trying to claim Nash was a better player overall. I'm more talking about the attitude of a certain segment of the population that admires flashy moves and arrogance and doesn't appreciate self-discipline, humility, and self-awareness. These are the same reasons why there are all those idiots out there who think Lebron walks on water but resent Curry, despite (in my opinion) Curry achieving just as much as Lebron with a lot less god-given talent (and less whining, pouting, flopping, throwing coaches and teammates under the bus, self-aggrandizement, and lying)

Just try to acheive that in a single game in the NBA, let alone for an entire season. Not to mention he's playing against defenders that have crazy athleticism and wingspans every night. It's insane to think about the mastery you have to have over the game to be able to do that at the highest level for so many years without being a supremely athletic like Jordan, or 6'9 like Magic.

    Steve Nash and those 2000s Suns teams were the version 1 edition of Steph Curry of the 2010s Warriors. Steve Kerr was the GM of the Suns and became the Head Coach of the Warriors. Draymond, Klay and Igoudala played hybrid versions of Stoudemire and Marion of the Suns. Livingston, Barnes and others were the Warriors version Hill, Barbosa, Bell. If you watch and paid attention to both teams and organizations you could see this.

    Please note, I'm not disagreeing with your assessment of Steve Nash, but his desire to play team basketball is very likely why he shot 50/40...the 90 was all him. When you distribute as well as Nash does, it causes the defense to spread out to prevent other players from punishing you. Nash shot well because he often had more space as a result of his passing. Had he of increased his shooting frequency, it may have cost him shooting accuracy (more defensive pressure). I'm not saying it wouldn't be the right choice, but he may not have ended up being the 50/40/90 player you now know.

Then the defenses would be even more off balance because they'd have no clue what might be coming. I could just as easily say adding a bit more shooting would have sent all his statistics even higher because most defenses basically knew he was a passer. We'll simply never know.

    @@doublestrokeroll I wasn't suggesting he only shoot, but that assuming shooting more would automatically lead to greater statistical improvement might be naïve. Your own comment is indicative of what I was trying to imply, "most defenses basically knew he was a passer." If that is true, how did they defend him? They gave him more space and tried to fill passing lanes, because the probability he would punish them shooting was lower. If he became a volume shooter, I suspect defenses would have tightened up which would have hurt his FG%. I'm quite comfortable deducing that shooting more may have actually led to more assists or at least more efficient assists. Shooting more would have forced defenses to play him tighter, which would have created more space for passing. Ultimately, I think we agree. More shooting from Nash seems like it would have led to a greater optimization of his skill set. Just don't think we should get too silly about suggesting because he was 50/40/90 that shooting more was a foregone conclusion (i.e. he couldn't shoot too much) or that shooting more wouldn't have negatively impacted his 50/40/90 career stat line. If you tell me that averaging 20 pts per game and 10 assists on 44/38/90 is a better outcome, I wouldn't disagree with you. His actual career stats were 49/43/90 with 14 pts and and 8.5 assists per game. I simply think there would be some give to get (give up some fg% and get more pts and asts). Thanks for keeping it cordial.

    Kobe is my Goat but Steeve Nash will always be my favorite player. I just love watching those 7 seconds or less suns offense, especially when they're going for the fast break and Nash with the ball. You just know you're about to see an electrifying highlight. I honestly believe that if he played in today's NBA, he could give Curry a run for his money with his sick handles and sharp shooting, plus he still that great passer and play maker too!

    @@doublestrokeroll I agree. Kidd couldn't shoot, or run half-court offence until late in his career. Stockton couldn't take over a game by himself. CP3 was predictable and could be stopped in crucial moments of the game. Still, because of his offence, he should rank above Kidd and Stockton. Kevin Johnson was arguably better than Payton, but both should rank below Kidd. Westbrook shouldn't even belong to the list. He isn't a good shooter or a playmaker, and his triple-double stats were packed.

    My older cousin played against Nash back in high school here in BC, and was a power forward. Nash was effing' FAST and that game Nash's team won by around 5 points. I still have the original SI magazine article about him. If anyone knows how to dribble properly, then do what he did: BOUNCE 2 TENNIS BALLS every day, left and right hand for 5 years from grade school to high school. He still did it at Santa Clara that's why almost no one could steal the ball from him. Well deserved of those MVP's.

Also look at his playoff performances, he is always consistent and oftentimes using his scoring to help the team. Whenever he subs with Barbosa, the flow of offense changes with Nash and compared with Barbosa. The way he control the basketball is just unmatched

    Steve Nash was more than his stats. Those Suns teams were magical to watch and he was the catalyst behind that magic. It wasn't just about skills but was about a mindset that he instilled in all the teammates he played with that no highlight reel can show, but rather you have to watch full games and a full season to see it. Teammates knew that if they ran to open space that the ball would get there even before they arrived at that open space. They knew that they could run into traffic but if there was a sliver of an opening - and that opening might only be seen from an angle in the 4th dimension - that they could put their hands into that spot and the ball will get their either in a straight line pass, some crazy bounce pass, or from a pass like a hall of fame quarterback dropping the ball into a garbage can. And players knew that when Nash was controlling the ball wreaking havoc on defenses scrambling to contain him or block shots that was the best time to penetrate towards the basket because he was creating openings and disorganizing the defense. Yes...he was an awesome shooter and passer but he elevated the players around him incredibly and far more than any stat line could show with the exception of the team points per game stat line. That was all him.
