Steve Nash vs Kyrie Irving

[Richesly]

Nash got it hands down with awareness, playmaking ability, and reliability. I would say Kyrie just edges him as a scorer and thats it.

Plus, Kyrie aint got shit on Nash IQ.

Steve Nash on if he’s confident that Kyrie Irving will return to the Nets this year: “Sure.” (via

Kyrie has averaged 27PPG in a championship win and hit the biggest shot of the series. I got to go with Irving here.

Kyrie has a higher peak for a small sample size (like a series or elimination game), but Nash is a way better engine.

This Nets team with prime Nash and Durant and Jarrett Allen would romp to a title just on the basis of Nash running the PnR with both of them and getting everybody involved... there'd be no stopping them. As it stands now, Kyrie and KD will just play iso your turn my turn ball like he did with Bran when they underachieved on their odds and expectations.

Yes but could Nash do it in a system that wasn't Dantonis?

Nash led the Suns to the WCF's with Alvin Gentry. And he was 36 years old.

You don't remember this epic moment in trash talk NBA history.





shit still has me rolling he slapped his ass while he tried calling timeout after the dagger.

Ha ha true. That was still a system mostly influenced by DAntoni but maybe you're right.

which year did bran and kyrie underachieve?

[Nike D'Antoni]

which year did bran and kyrie underachieve?

Maybe in 2015. But Kyrie was injured ECSF, ECF, AND FINALS.

[Gudo]

Kyrie is much better overall than nash if he has his head right.

Then how is it underachieving? Love was out as well.

I'm interested to know what overall means to you.

Shooting = Nash
Passing = Nash
Clutch = Equally good but you can argue Kyrie
defense = Both trash
Leadership = Nash
Awards = Nash

What are we saying?

Nash was winning MVPs over guys like Kobe, Shaq, Garnett, Wade, Duncan, Nowitzski. Tell me which season Kyrie came close to an MVP award.

[red1]

nash would've won more than one ring with lebron. he was a great shooter that would've feasted with lbj

The cavs went 2-1 with the hampered lineup before dropping three straight. I think they have a case of winning there if not for injuries that fukked them up.
