I'd have to go with KJ too.

still.... phoenix and Nash. They will always be whiners in my book.

This is coming a 13 year old internet tough guy.

I never saw KJ take over a game the way Nash does. If I need to win a game I would go with Nash. And KJ is/was my favorite Sun ever.

KJ was better defender than Nash

I think KJ was a better all round player, very quick on D where most offensive players wouldn't dare drive on him. And MY GOD!!! could he finish. Nash's talent lies on the offensive end of things from a running the O standpoint, he's definitely better than KJ there. He'd probably be a better mayor too.

And at the end of the day, isn't that the only thing that matters?

Yes. He had MJ solved in that '93 Finals. It was a swell strategy by Westphal and the execution by Johnson was superb.

That's why I said most defenders wouldn't dare drive on him. :p MJ tore him up, then again no one could guard MJ and if they tried, he would push off.*

* I do remember Barkley commenting on the fans booing KJ during that series, I'm not sure if it was lack of offensive output or his D on MJ.
