I was just wondering. I have never seen it and never heard of it? Has anybody? Can he?

Once I saw him. Before he came to NBA on one game he tried to dunk but he couldn't.

I read once that during the Sun's practice, Nash dunked twice and surprised teammates. I also remember when he was on the Mavs, he said that dunking took too much energy so he stopped.

Yes, he can dunk, he took an alleyoop from Raja Bell in a Suns practice this year. He just barely got it in there but he can do it. Probably not comfortable enough to try it in a game.

Speaking of non-dunking MVPs, can AI dunk?

Could Mugsy Bouges, the shortest player in the NBA, dunk?

I already know that Boykins can dunk.

Can Shaq shoot a three-point shot?

I've seen Nash dunk with my own eyes. Ever seen high school kids with minimal hops barely clear the rim with a junior-sized basketball? That's what it looks like when Nash dunks.

His under-the-hoop, top-english-off-the-backboard moves are more fun to watch. I've never seen a guy who could hit difficult layups on a consistent basis like Nash. He's got a sixth sense for defenders and how to adjust on the fly.

he dunks daily. In the morning when they bring the donuts and coffee.

I'm just curious. Why are people impressed with dunks? The average height of the NBA is 6'7", so most of them can dunk with no problem, but who cares?

Layups and jumpshots also count for 2 points.

He can shoot one......making it is another question.

Apparently he dunked twice in practice a few months ago, once with the left hand then once with the right. Probably looked pretty, well, unimpressive. Spud Webb he is not. But can Spud do this?

That was a great charge taken by Nash. :smokin

Don't know many guys with back problems who would do that. Thanks for posting.

Another great Nash moment.
Anyway, the guy is like 6-3, I am hoping he can dunk

Another impressive (atttempted) charge taken by Nash. Looks like he was inside the circle this time, unlike the Kobe dunk, but great effort.

I find it amusing that you think it's impressive for some six foot eight guy to dunk on Steve Nash, and that his trying to take a charge is somehow a sign of ownage. At the end of the day, Nash wins games, those flashy dunkers get sent home crying. You're a funny kid.

Nash is 6-3, still impressive him being dunked on by a 6-7 Ricky Davis. Or jumped over i should say. Maybe he should just get out of the way next time

the real question should be can Diaw dunk? Good lord that guy has too much junk in the trunk to elevate anymore.

Nash is what -- 33? Not exactly a spring chicken, nor is he known for his incredible muscularity and hops. Technically he's 6-2, but whatever.

No, it's not impressive in the slightest for Ricky Davis or Kobe Bryant to dunk on Nash -- what's impressive is someone with spondylitis taking more charges than anyone in the league. If you had a basketball IQ approaching room temperature you'd agree.

As for "getting out of the way next time", I beg to differ. Nash took a great charge by Duncan last game (Duncan's third foul, I believe), forcing a turnover and changing the complexion of the game.

In conclusion: you're a dumbass. Stick with football.

Nash teabags D'Antoni on a regular basis. Does that count?

I've never seen Nash dunk but I'm sure he can.

Doesn't Parker have problems dunking as well? I seem to recall him getting rejected by the rim while trying to dunk recently.
