I never said the NBA had to change now did I?
No, I said compare the same years, like 2002 to 2002 not Dallas years to Dallas years. Kidd is not quite to Nash's level.

Speaking of being a homer.....
Good lord buddy. Stockton averaged 17+ for 3 years straight. WHILE averaging at least 13.6 assists. One of those years, he averaged 14.5 assists, still an NBA record. Nash has averaged over 17 points 4 different seasons. Never even 3 straight. The most he's averaged is 18.8, last year. 18.8 is only 1.5 points ahead of 17.2, Stockton's career high average.
But after all, scoring is where Nash OWNS Stockton, right?
Hail to the Suns, the people champs.
I'll take the * bling-bling any day of the century.![]()
Why don't you go look at ESPN's predictions for the Warriors-Jazz series.
The Jazz apparently 'couldn't run' with the Warriors. Can't score with them, even though we were the 7th highest scoring team in the league during the season.
We ran with them in their place (the one that's not as loud as Energy Solutions Arena), and beat them down. In 5. The majority chose the W's. It's called a bandwagon, and we derailed it.
And all other categories. Stockton had more assists, Nash scores more, more rebounds, better from the line, stuff like that. And 2 awards to go with it.
and Nash never had a dominant inside man to give the ball to till now.
All what ? What exactly wasn't called in your favor?
Nash fouls Parker after Parker picks his pocket and cuts his nose. He is allowed to stay in the game and score five points with blood gushing out of his face, is continually allowed back into the game even though he's wiping his bloody face off with his jersey, clearly in violation of the NBA's blood rule...
Amare gets the back of his shoe stepped on while going up for a dunk. He doesn't miss the dunk and Bowen isn't whistled for a foul...
Nash crowds Bowen for some unfathomable reason, and falls to the ground after Bowen clears him out (in what every basketball player I saw called a good play on Bowen's part). Bowen is called for the offensive foul.
Horry hard fouls Steve Nash at the end of a game. Nash sells the contact and convinces the refs to call it a flagrant 2. Horry is ejected from the game and suspended. Nash gets two free throws and the ball, pretty much sealing the victory.
Raja Bell rushes at Robert Horry, who puts up his arm to defend himself, and makes contact with the shorter Bell above the shoulders. Horry is suspended for an additional game.
From the above examples, the only play that the Suns didn't benefit from is Bowen stepping on Amare's foot, which the Suns used as an example of how dirty a player Bruce Bowen is, probably buying them a few calls they otherwise wouldn't have gotten. What's your problem? How much more do you want?
Oh yeah, you wanted the NBA to violate the rules even further so Amare and Diaw could play.
There was no beating down abaout it, just winning. The Warrior's could have easily stole games 1 and 2, and been up 3-0, but they were not as good as the Jazz, and lost.
Headbutt by Parker, knee to the groin by Bowen, stepping on Amare's heel by Bowen, but of course you are so ing close minded that you think the Spurs are little angels and dod nothing wrong. Open you ing eyes, or shut up.
Fixed. Utah would have crushed them.
Nash averages 2.9 boards for his career. Stockton averages 2.7
Nash shoots 89% from the line, Stockton 83%.
Nash averages .8 steals. Stockton 2.2.
Nash has shot 48% over his career. Stockton shot 52% from the field.
Not to mention that Stockton averaged 10.5 assists. Nash averages 7.6 over his career.
You're right.
Nash shoots 6% better at the line and gets .2 more boards.
Not to mention, Stockton has 2 LE APPEARANCES to go with it.
He doesn't care about MVP's.
Utah would have never stood a chance, wake up.
4-1 is a beatdown.
Exhibit A: Western Conference Finals, Spurs vs. Jazz.
Explain who would stop the Jazz inside. Outside. Who would rebound or play defense against the Jazz.
EXPLAIN some of these wild guesses.
Nash was called for the foul on Parker, . He initiated the contact.
Bowen was called for the foul on Nash, . Nash initiated the contact.
Bowen wasn't called for stepping on Amare. There wasn't really any contact.
Don't you get tired of being owned?
Appearances, no LES either, and still no MVP's. and that is 7% better from the line. And Nash is a much better 3 point shooter.
The Jazz are a better team. I watched the Spurs play both of them. The Spurs beat the Suns without playing particularly well.
You are the biggest ing idiot roaming this board. Time to put your stupid ass on ignore. Parker headbutts him, the world saw it, but gets away with it. Bowen knees Nash, and again, the world saw it, but gets away with it. Again, the world saw Bowen kick Amare, but he gets away with it. You are the one being owned, but you are far too stupid to realize anything. Just because it wasn't called, doesn't mean nothing happened you morong. Go and watch, but even then you refuse to believe you are ever wrong.
LMAO. 89-83 is 6. HAHAHA!!!
And about the no les....Nash and Stockton DO have something in common after all.
At least Stockton could get there.
And he only had one guy to pass to. Nash has had Joe Johnson, Marion, Stoudemire, Raja Bell, Eddie House (lets it rain), etc. etc...
Have to laugh at Suns fan saying Nash > Kidd.
Jason Kidd made two Finals dragging Kenyon Martin with him. Richard Jefferson does a few nice dunks here and there.
Amare>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>KMart
Marion>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Jefferson
and yet Nash deserves credit for being a better PG than Kidd? Kidd would have gotten to at least one Finals with Amare and Marion by now.
Nash is a very good player for his career, and has been great these last two seasons - but Kidd>>>Nash.
Again, you being a complete idiot. The Suns get 2 games, the Jazz 1, and the Suns should have gotten 3 had they not missed a couple key shots in game 5. The Jazz are nowhere near the Suns. Wake the up you tool.
You idiot, Stockton is 82.6, but you rounded it up. Nash is 98.6, so I rounded up, or without rounding up, exactly 7% better. Stockton got there during a few weak years in the West, and a dominant power forward in his 30's with experience.
Did you not hear the man who watches the Spurs all year every year?
They weren't even playing up to par in the series against the Suns.
And beat them.
Demoralized them.
They're screwed for the next few years.
Smallball blows.
And I said he's a complete idiot, as Duncan and Ginobili could not possibly play any better. The Spurs didn't shoot very well in game 5, but played well in every other game, and still lost twice. And they were completely outplayed in game 2. Trying to say they didn't play well is laughable.
