Let’s take a moment to appreciate Steve Nash

I don’t know why it cracked me up to read that Steph was basically the greatest offensive force ever… and you ended it with:

“Let’s take a moment to appreciate Steve Nash”

It’s because it’s obvious that Steph’s offensive is this good. That’s old news.. Steve Nash’s offensive is really underrated and that’s why I ended with him.

I mean Steve Nash is a 2 time mvp and considered the best passer ever by many, I don’t think he’s underrated

MyTeamsSuck99 | Nets

I think he is because he never won a ring

IvCv | Suns

he’s not underrated, there’s just a dozen years since he retired and almost 20 since his peak. practically a whole generation of fans that didn’t see him play. he’s a 2x mvp and the ssol suns still get brought up as the prototype for the modern offense.

Everyone appreciates Steph though. Nash was the blueprint for a modern guard, Steph perfected it. As a result everyone growing up wants to be Steph not Nash.

Steve should’ve shot the ball more, and even he admitted it, but PGs were encouraged to be a scorer at the time. Steph made it okay to have a PG who can score.

SGA isn’t that underrated, Nash gets way too much shit because nephews didn’t watch him and rely on Shaq being salty af he didnt win mvp those years

carsmello | Knicks

1 | 17 minutes ago

If anything its gone the other way. Shaq is so salty and wrong about deserving both of them (he was only in contention for 2005), that it’s actually caused people to completely dismiss how close Shaq was to winning MVP in 2005, it was one of the closest votes ever.

If you were to make a post here asking who deserved to win the 2005 MVP, it would be 90% Nash answers, which was not what it was at the time.

I somewhat understand 2005 while not agreeing but I didn’t know Shaq claimed 2006 as well. Isn’t it widely accepted it was Wade’s team by that point?

He had 4 50/40/90 seasons and was 1 free throw away from 5, crazy shooter on top of being a crazy passer

Draymond is a better offensive engine than Magic. Put draymond in the 1980s and he’s running the league, let’s be honest. I don’t know why people refuse to admit the fact that the league has gotten much better since the 1900s.

Steve was great. His overall peak 5 yr RAPM is 6th, right behind Lebron, Jokic, Steph, CP, and KG.

He was good in a different way, compared to what we think good is today… Meaning I think he played in the perfect era, if he played now he might just be overshadowed by so many other players. I don’t think he ever averaged more than 20 points a game, That’s not what he was known for. He played when the transition of slow half court offense transitioned into fast-paced transition prioritize open three-pointers and open layups… The sun’s offense arguably modernized/changed NBA offensive playstyle more than any other team. Basically they would just sprint up the court look for an open three or open light up and if it wasn’t there run a high pick and roll with amare and nash. It was considered radical at the time

If I had to make a guess who would be on the 5 year list I would die before I would have guessed Nash, and I grew up watching his game.

Nash would have been even better if he shot the ball more. He turned down open shots too frequently. Peak Nash with modern pace and space and a green light to shoot 3s whenever probably would have been the greatest offensive player of all time.

Klutzy_Struggle8659 [OP] | Warriors

1 | 14 minutes ago

Steph outclasses Nash in literally everything offensively except passing. His overall playmaking and shooting are quite a bit better.

Mike-XL

1 | 4 minutes ago

Steve Nash has a higher career field goal and 3 point percentage. I’m not saying he’s a better shooter, and he doesn’t have the range, but he’s on the shooting Mount Rushmore and he passed up a ton of open shots by today’s standards. Not to mention he’s clearly a better passer and playmaker.

For what it’s worth, Steph Curry wouldn’t have been Steph Curry either if he played from 96-14. The game wasn’t different in terms of what was acceptable, style of play, and rules. I don’t think he would have been much better than Steph on offense, but I do think he would have been slightly better.

Really goes to show just how overrated Jokic is. Two conference finals appearances total over the course of his career. Consistently bounced in the first and second round and yet still so highly regarded despite disappointing results year after year lol.

The takeaway is that advanced stats can rate a player very high while that player fails year after year to justify what the advanced stats suggests.
