Steve Nash is the worst MVP ever

[deja vu]

A slightly better scoring version of John Stockton, with far worse defense. And you never heard of Stockton being an MVP candidate.

Nash benefited from a run and gun no-defense system resulting in gaudy inflated stats.

OT - Stockton is underrated IMO.

Also this.


If people were intelligent to rank players based on who they would take on their team instead of "resume" Stockton would be much higher alltime than he is generally credited as.

kobe should have 3 mvps by now

I have heard hes one of the best shooters of all time so why didn't he use it to score like Curry?

Are you serious? Forget about stats, Nash didn't deserve any of his MVPs. It's not that he had a team of bums, his teammates were very good actually.

Why don't you check his teammates stats before and after playing with Nash. Especially 3pt%

Nash was the man. Statlines don't do him justice.

Any player would play better with a great PG. Nash with Dallas wasn't even a top 20 player but a year later, he becomes MVP?

He has a case yea... Still being MVP is not for everyone, two times (in a row) at that. It's like being the worst of the best, still amazing. I don't think he should've gotten 2 MVP but prime/peak Nash is underrated plenty of times these days, same for John Stockton.

Because he was also dishing out 11 dimes per game And he was still scoring like 18 ppg on terrific overall efficiency. He is one of the best overall shooters of all-time.

Possibly the worst but Kobe should of gotten this, his team was horrible

[BrownEye007]

Nash was probably playing in the NBA before OP was even born.

Maybe he got better
or maybe he was just as good then and just wasn't in a situation to take over and flourish.

Nobody starts out as a top 20 player. He was an all star in dallas already. All stars making the jump happens all the time
