Is Nash the worst defender ever to win a MVP?

[Mr. Jabbar]

Dude should seriously give those stolen trophies to Kobe, how tainted is this award?

[bdreason]

Worst defender, or worst player?


He may be both.

Tempted to say rose as player, but considering both ends of the floor hes actually better than nash

[Breezy]

There's a list of bad MVP defenders Nash is right up there with em.

Dirk
Nash
Rose
Iverson
Shaq
Magic
Barkley.

Take your pick. The Rockets could score 150 against a team made up of those MVP's

Actually, when Shaq won MVP, he was one of the BEST defenders in the league.

I seriously think Nash takes the cake, and thats saying alot given some names on that list...

It might be said that he locked down the pain because he was an immovable object the size of godzilla but he put 0 effort into defending. Especially defending the pick and roll... Shaq might have been the worst pick and roll defender of all time.

Every bad defender has a secured spot as a TV analyst upon retirement

Your man crush Kobe is up there...

Your man crush Kobe is up there...

In Kobe's prime he was a lockdown Defender. He was a little lacking in help defense, but man to man there were very few players better.

None of those players are anywhere close to as bad as Nash. They are all "average" at worst.

[miller-time]

Good thing it isn't a defensive player of the year award. Otherwise this thread would have some value.

[Sharmer]

Shaq and Barkley were great defenders in there prime.

[Nevaeh]

Yeah, that N!gga....
