    Last two games for him: 6 FGA and 33 assists

    Suns are 0.500 team again and they are only two games behind us

    Nash is leading this league in assists again at 38 YO

    He is showing all of you how real PG should play

    I feel like the main difference when you watch Nash is that all of his passes seem to hit players in the right spot. It's put in a place so that the offensive player can immediately move straight to his next move whether it's a dribble or a shot.

    He is just so smart.

    He's by far the best scorer on the team. There's just no reason that a team's best scorer, who shoots 55% from the field and 41% from the three should only be averaging 13 pts a night.

    I actually think he could help his team win more games if he would be more aggressive with his scoring.

    Two out of the first three "assists" weren't really assists, so I was ready to watch the batch of this and try to pick this Nash-poseur "MVP" out.

    Then all he did was drop dimes. Amazing. Everyone go out and buy your best friend the last month of League Pass.

    He would put Rondo to shame if he was on the Celtics.

    If Marcus Camby plays the center position as well as Nash does at the point, I will be sooo happy

    yeah he can easily average 20 or more points per game if he wanted to. but he's such a team-first guy and so unselfish.. he definitely makes his teammates better. but yeah he should definitely take more shots.

    Steve Nash is a g.

    If I'm a coach, I tell all my point guards to play like him. Him and Lin are a bunch of the only "good guys" in terms of pure pass-first points. It just seems like way too many points these days are hybrids focused on scoring of the Jennings/Wall type, which is just too bad.

    There is nothing cooler in basketball and in the NBA than a pure pass-first PG, in my opinion.

    He needs to go to Miami. I hate ring chasing, but this guy deserves one.

    Nash is incredible. Defense notwithstanding, the guy is arguably THE best shooter in the history of the NBA and one of the top three or four passers.

    If this link works, you'll see results for player seasons who averaged 39%+ from 3PT, 89%+ from FT, and 49%+ from overall FG. Steve Nash has 6 such seasons. Other players with 3 or more seasons, Larry Bird (3) and Jeff Hornacek (3). That's incredible.

    A bunch of the only implies there are more.

    yes, Rubio is in that list.

    Incidentally, so is Jason Kidd and on and on.

    John Wall has averaged 8+ assist over the course of 2 years and vs NO joined Jason Kidd as the fastest active players to reach 900 career helpers.
