Both are great players but Mike D Antoni system was all offensive it just enhanced their number. Top 15 playmakers both of em maybe even 10, if Steve nash didn’t have 2 mvps he wouldn’t been a top 75 player. Harden just not the 1 on a championship team and he just bounce whenever he feels like it. Defensively they got cooked Harden was better than Nash on that end tho he was bigger to be fair
Imagine slandering Steve Nash in 2023 and justifying it by saying his legacy wouldn’t be as impressive if he didn’t have MVPs.
Just a brilliant post all around.
No but see if Jordan hadn’t won any MVPs, finals MVPs, rings or scoring titles then he would be a bum.
Born n raised in British Columbia Canada where Steve nash is from I must correct myself. Take away the 2 mvps which people can argue should’ve went to shaq or kobe but best record in thr league 1st mvp 18 n 10 2nd mvp so valid arguments why he won. 7 seconds or less offense kinda helped shift thr league to the style play now. Nash was the perfect general for that and I had to remind myself. Steve Kerr was in the front office for suns during that era so he enhanced it and just added defense with warriors. Even without rhe mvps he’s top 75 I was wrong
take away his 2 MVPs he’s still a 8x All-Star, 7x All-NBA, 5x Assist champ and almost averaged 50/40/90 for his career. he would still be in the NBA top 75.
Well see if you regress his stats to the mean he actually becomes quite average
Let him cook.
