    I agree.

    Nash is a better shooter while Brooks has more tools that makes him a better scorer.

    It's all good, I just think it's almost like your mocking this message board tinman-style with a poll that has such an obvious answer.

    Sure, it's subjective to an exent... if you're being a homer.

    Nash, but a better question would be how long before Brooks is a better scorer?

    I doubt it. Like I said in another thread, I think he can be a very efficient 20/5 guy. As he learns to regulate his speed better with the dribble, he might create better openings for scoring inside the defense (Nash, and especially Chris Paul, are masters at this). I can see Brooks being a 40+% 3-point shooter. Its such an effortless shot for him.

    Your use of the word "gooder" is exasperating. You should use the word "better," as in:

    "Nash is an insanely bet offensive player. Much better than Brook(s), who is also bet."

    I hope that's clear. :p

    basketball isn't a shooting contest, if it was Novak would be one of the league leaders in points. A lto of nash's scoring comes from spacing created by the components of his team. Nash the point guard would probably work on any team, nash the scorer? Not as likely, only on the right team.

    the answer has to be Nash.

    nash gets a lot of his buckets after someone sets a pick for him, but Brooks doesnt have the shooting or the passing ability so defenders can drape over him.

    The one thing I like about Nash's game is the footwork he has around the paint. After using a P&R, Nash gets into the middle of the paint and will find his open man. If he can't he pulls up for a fadeaway jumper that is just sick.

    Just trying to help people see the truth of the zaniness of trying to compare a guy in his 13th year to one in his 3rd...and first as a starter.

    Someone quick post some videos of Rafer for shock therapy to awaken the ignorant.

    Nash can flat out score pretty much when he wants to... and for him to be that productive scoring while getting his teammates involved is phenomenal..
