Toss up.
As Philip said, West is tougher, but in Kidd's case, we are talking about the Nets
The ing Nets
Plus, the Nets lost in 6 to the Spurs in 2003.
Suns lost in 5 to the Spurs in 2005.
It`s pretty even IMHO
From 2000-2003 the East was a joke. The Suns' turnaround wins by default.
Nash's turnaround is considered much more profound if the strength of each conference is considered. But you also have to take into account the talent Phoenix had surrounded Steve Nash with.
imo, for that fact, I would consider Kidd's turnaround better due to the weak ass supporting cast New Jersey had.
you also forgot the cost cutting the suns went through sellin all their draft picks when if they had kept them they wouldve had guys like deng...
but i prefer nash, he did it in a tougher conference
that kidd nets team wouldnt even last out of the first round in the western conference in any year after year 2000....
