You said it.... Kidd is a better all around player... What was I thinking?

You fail to consider the fact that Nash's game is amplified by D'Antoni's "shoot-away in 7-seconds or less" super offensive style. Kidd never had the benefit of playing in such a system or with those cogs.

Think whatever you may.... but;
Kidd in his prime > Nash in his prime.

I had no problem with Kidd being the better all around player. But he isn't even CLOSE to Nash offensively, while you said they were equal, which is insane.

i can;t believe NONE of y'all have even considering Manu as a top 10 there... kinda weird isn't it? i think you're'all forgetting about all what he did outside the NBA...

Marion made the all-star team with another good PG running the show, in Stephon Marbury. But Nash has helped him increase his percentages considerably, and he has become a much more efficient player with Nash running the show. Not to mention, the year he was an all-star in 2002, there were not nearly as many impressive Guards/Forwards in the league as there are now. And in the year that Nash came, Amare went from being a good center, to an elite center, and an absolute beast, probably the best interior scorer in the NBA. Nash's mere presence also took a team from having the worst record in the West, to the best record in the West in ONE YEAR. Obviously he had some serious impacts on the team, more than you are willing to give him credit for.

But that doesn’t necessarily support:

the fact that nash makes everyone around him ing all stars highly qualifies him for this discussion. ing haterade tastes like ass and ers like you keep drinking it. ass breath.

Stephon Marbury is not a good point guard in any way, shape or form. He was a good scoring guard, and now that he is nuts, he isn’t even that anymore.

Nash also left a team and that team improved (your favourite team not to mention). Nash is good, probably one of the top 10 PGs in the history of the game, but I will not rank him above Kidd during their respective primes, including their abilities to make their teammates better.
