Don't disagree.Certainly has his flaws compared to Harden's monster season, but you want to see him perform on any other team or in the playoffs. Nash was capable of playing different systems, making big plays, half court player, so even though he was in a tailor made system I thought he was deserving. Healthy LeBron beats them all (30,6,6 on 50% shooting in Jan), Cavs 9-1. 1-5 with him out.
Yep if the Cavs keep this up then LeBron might just take it from both of them. Curry and Harden are both deserving. I do think Harden is more valuable to the team though. We're not even in the playoffs without him.
Steve Nash's offenses were across two teams, ranked at worst #2 for 9 straight years, and a cpl of those teams were injury riddled, people really underestimate how amazing his offensive ability was because he didn't have gaudy stats
Agreed. I don't really put anyone in the "much better offensively" than Nash category because I think he is one of the greatest of all time on that side of the floor.
I don't care about Harden's MVP. I'd rather he get us out of the first round than win some stupid throphy. I'd didn't help Robinson, Nash or Durant.
Steve Nash was not an All Time great. He was never anywhere near as good as Curry is now. Yes, he played on great teams but NOBODY was on worried about Steve Nash destroying their teams offensively. Every Nash led team underachieved in the post season because there was not a PG in the playoffs who couldn't svorch him. He'll San Antonio had a strategy of letting him score because he can't beat you. Do you think Cosch Pop would try that with Curry?
I hate Warriors and all, but watching Dallas flame out is never a bad thing. This has to be a joke, because I can't believe anyone can say this with a straight face. No one worries about Nash in the same way no one worried about John Stockton or CP3. Non-gaudy PPG numbers isn't indicative of his lack of scoring ability. It's indicative of his ability to get his teammates involved. Nash put up some ridiculous scoring numbers, in the playoffs no less, when his teammates weren't hitting their shots.

Dude, wtf are you smoking? You do realize that they were a stupid league rule away from winning a ring in 07' right? Cleveland was the sacrificial lamb that either SA or Phoenix would have eaten. Nash was an absolute ****ing monster in his prime...the likes of which even CP3 hasn't been able to come close to in the post season. He's the 3rd best PG on most people's lists after Magic and Stock.
The year they made that stupid decision to trade for Shaq and started sucking, they still lost to SA but Nash (who was beginning to slope on the down side of his career) was carrying them the entire way.
