Nash da Gawd

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Excellent post, future repped. :applause:

Steve Nash being top-3 in every FG% category doesn't surprise me, I think he's underrated as a shooting PG. Crazy career efficiency numbers but he gets overlooked far too often (49/42.8/90.4). One of my all-time favorite players.

Steph's corner 3PT% :eek:

[Im Still Ballin]

Nash is a better shooter than Curry

[RRR3]

Should I do one of these for the top PFs and Cs since 2000-01?

Yes please.:D

[RRR3]

Anyone else notice John Wall takes highest percentage of long twos amongst those listed but has the lowest conversion rate?


@24 inch chrome,

Okay probably in a few days. I'm traveling tomorrow.

[Spurs m8]

Nash is shit.

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Nash is shit.

:rolleyes:

[Fire Colangelo]

Holy jesus Wall.

[warriorfan]

Nice shot selection Wall.......




Alpha Male Curry is incredible.

sure. the midrange shooting numbers will actually be higher than any other position

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Nash = GOAT offensive PG.

Look at that ****ing 3pt% and % of 3pters assisted. Name me one thing he wasn't very good at, if not great, as an offensive player.

He's so underrated as a shooter, the guy doesn't get mentioned nearly as much as he should be. I always hear something along the lines of 'he only takes easy shots'...as if passing when he doesn't have a good look is a bad thing, especially for a point guard.

Got negged on my second post in this thread with this as the tag:

"YouGotServed and RighToCensor are the same person. Google: "Any takers? Man up. 2 month avatar" and include the omitted results"

The ****...

[RightToCensor]

that's funny

[Dubs510]

damn jkidd :lol . Great post!

That argument never made sense. One of Nash's biggest weapons was his pull up 3 (which apparently he made a ridiculous rate). His athleticism was never much to speak about, yet he could break down any defender and hit that scoop layup over the long athletic bigs. His one legged runner is definitely not an easy shot and he made a living it out of it.

Nash was the master of making low percentage shots look easy.

Nash was the master of making low percentage shots look easy.

Less than half of his 3PT shots were assisted (49.4%) but 'he only takes easy shots'...if he's not shooting off the pass I don't see how a 3 is a consistently easy shot. Curry's 3PT shots were assisted on for his career at a 62.1% clip and Allen's 3PT shots were assisted on 84.6% of the time...but apparently it's Nash taking the easy 3PT shots.

The numbers make it clear that he's able to create his own shot and convert at an elite rate but for whatever reason that seems to be regularly ignored.
