The hip check happened because the refs let the Spurs get away with murder all game. If the refs had reined the overly physical stuff in earlier, then Horry wouldn’t have felt free to do the hip check. Basically the league’s power structure wanted to punish the Suns for playing the game differently than everyone else, so the refs had David Stern and Stu Jackson’s implicit approval to allow the Spurs to beat the crap out of them, then slap overly-harsh punishments on any Sun who reacted.

For people who don't think Nash could've been an elite scorer, in the 2005 playoffs against Dallas it was the Mavs game plan to make Nash a scorer and not a playmaker, and he averaged 30ppg and 12apg on 55%fg, 42% 3pfg. The last 4 games of that series he averaged 37 and 12 on 60% fg and 50% from 3. In today's NBA he would've been told to take 8-10 threes a game and score much more. Would've been interesting to see

The warriors strategy was so dominant that it literally changed how basketball in the NBA is played, it was so effective that even the skeptics couldn't deny it. They have changed the whole paradigm in such a fundamental way that to suggest the suns did anything even remotely close is offensive.

@ShareefusMaximus

@@ImBarryScottCSS LOL, this is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. You have conveniently glossed over the fact the Steve Kerr became the Suns GM while Steve Nash was already the dominant player in Pheonix, Alvin Gentry was a D'Antoni assistant, a head coach to Steve, and literally installed the SAME offense they had in Pheonix, as the offensive coordinator in Golden State. So much so that Alvin Gentry's post-championship comment to the media was, "Tell Mike D'Antoni he's been vindicated." Mike D'Antoni DID NOT run that offense when he was the head coach in Denver. Steve was the only established player on that Suns team (many went on to become "established players") so Mike geared the offense around him. Nash NEVER played with Golden State yet he is a consultant for their team and has been. The Warriors went from 7th place to the best team ever, by simply changing their player's deployment to what Kerr observed in PHEONIX. Karl Malone said he never ran the pick and roll in the "high" position (near the top of the key) the side PNR was standard in the NBA until the Steve Nash Suns. With all due respect to one of history's great teams, they have never done anything offensively that the Spurs, Suns or Bulls didn't do... NOTHING. "21/pistol" "high pick and roll" "pace and space" "slot action" and running to the corners were all Suns innovations and they are ALL standard play now. Now those are FACTS. If you have something other than just insistence and narrative please enlighten me. I'm always open to learning more about basketball.

My favorite player to watch. He was so good with his off hand. Most ambidextrous player I have seen, passing, dribbling, shooting. Absolutely the best passer I have ever seen. Four time member of the 50-40-90 club and missed a fifth time by just one made free throw. Could score when needed (48 against Dallas in ayoffs). He was the best shooter over a decade from more places the floor than anybody, Ray Allen number two. Just an exceptional player.

this interview is gold

Steve Nash should be a regular guest on sports talk shows. He was indeed very conversative with his shots. He was making tham and then suddenly would just keep on passing when he could have taken over.

Man, miss these games so much. Am a huge Nash fan, and used to hate the spurs because they were so dirty but in this smart, wily way. It was such an amazing rivalry watching the upstarts with their small, crafty hero with a giant heart take on this well oiled, disciplined, cunning almost sinister feeling spurs squad. Damn, but funny thing is, Manu was my second favorite player. And one of my favorite plays of his, and for my money it was the definition of a wily play, in that its kind of clever but also completely underhanded, was this one time, as the broadcast was cutting to a commercial, they showed a replay of Amare trying to run after a rebound and, in slow mo, you see he like struggle for a second, then he points down, and the camera pans down and Manu is legit holding his leg, like something out of a cartoon. Man, dont wanna sound like an old man, but im just not sure there are these kind of compelling characters, heated rivalries, or like paradigm defining clashes of ideology in todays league.

I live in Phoenix. Saw that team play in person about 15 times. Miss those days

awesome!!

Nash the GOAT PG, dude single handily got me to pick up a basketball by just watching him. God bless his soul

Class act

I remember this stuff so well. I think Nash lived in Tribeca during the offseason back then. I heard he played pickup ball around Manhattan back then. If I still lived in NY back then I would have tried to track him down and play 1 on 1 to 11. The bet being if I score 5 or more he has to shoot more the upcoming season lol! Dude could get whatever he wanted whenever he wanted it. To some degree I had to admire his unselfishness. It's easy to be pass first when you have limited scoring ability. But this dude had a complete scoring arsenal. I wonder if his brother ever said "Hey Bro, Dad said he thinks you should shoot more." He definitely left some chips on the table. But I get it. He really took pride in sharing the rock.

It's crazy to think he would be even more legendary if played in today's league. His style just a perfect fit for modern basketball. Fantastic 3 points shooter, very fast paced and you don't have to play defense these days

"He's underrated" "He should've played now" "The Suns should've played today" He has 2 MVP's take it easy y'all I think he's done enough.

Hearing them discuss “selling the call” reminds me of how Manu flopped so good/bad like a soccer man. And that really contextualizes how Lebron justified his flops in any interview without actually admitting it when he was indirectly asked; do anything to win.

Nobody says Shaq should have won them... People say Kobe should have won them and they are right. Kobe was clearly the best player in the league both years that Nash won it, but he was ignored because people didn't like his personality and the cloud of his court case was still hanging over him.

@@ImBarryScottCSS He's talking about Nash's first MVP in 2005. The Lakers didn't make the playoffs. Kobe wasn't even in the MVP conversation.

I could watch him speak all day

Pod father, huge fan of book of basketball series. But can you allow your guests to elaborate a bit more?

This collective experience of playing fast, playing efficient and playing small is what paved the way for the warriors dynasty

Nashtastic is best ever because he said he hoped he had a forehead scar for the rest of his life, because it was from a collision with john Stockton. The best point guard of all time, his words.

Love Steve Nash

I like how you they are talking about revolutionizing basketball with all the there's and dantoni wanting just to go faster and shoot more threes as if it actually works. But here you have dantoni still with no ring while shooting mostly threes while teams that find a balance and have the ability to slow down are the ones who win.

So... So... Much... Heartache Watching this reminds me how much I loved that Phoenix team and it never got the respect it deserves. EVERY damn year was some stupid shit (Joe Johnson breaking his ankle, stupid Robert Horry shit, Ron Artest tip 2 second remaining...) Love you Steve, and love you Bill for doing this

if Nash had shot twenty times a game, he would have got 30 points per game.

he was a much better scorer than he showed, he just chose to run the point like Stockton and Magic did. his ball handling and shooting was so good

Nash for sure could have avg 20+ ppg, he just held back and looked for other guys to score, Stockton and Magic style

Man, looking at what Trae Young is doing right now. Nash in this era would be averaging 30+10 if he is more aggressive. I was a Rocket fan back then. Nash in the 4th quarter always scared the shit of me.

People forget when Curry won his 2 MVPs Nash was helping him

He actually wasn’t under Warriors management during currys first MVP and most of the 2nd. But he has been influential in the past 3 years

i used to look at nash 3 point % and one year he shot like 45% from downtown and i always questioned why didnt he shoot more

Man I wish my man Steve Nash would have won a Championship in Dallas one of the best free throw percentage in the league and all around game. Would take him over any point guard in today's game he see the big picture when he's on the court Vision Goat. 👁🐐

As a Lakers fan I used to love how passive Nash and CP3 were offensively. Of course they’re gonna kill us with assists but when those two putting up 15-20 shots a game they were unstoppable

For as long as I live, I'm going to remember Steve Nash

I really think Steve would be a good coach. Hope he gets some opportunities in the future.

Yep. A point ppl forget. Taking a bunch of threes was a cardinal sin back then. My 8th grade coach would bench your ass if you took a 3 in transition/fast break. Make it or not. He'd also bench the center if I got a rebound over him.

I always believe Nash was the pioneer of the modern domination of pointguards today. It was Nash playstyle then when Chris Paul and Deron Williams. Then Curry, Irving, Dame etc.

Probably one of the greatest teams to never make a finals. Though once or twice they were clearly screwed.

- Amare getting suspended...that changed the dynamics. They could have gone to a game 7 if Amare had played in Game 5.
