No

No, Kobe all the way

Na I think Kobe should have won at least one of them

Nope

Yet again there's many things to say about this bashed all-time legend, Nash was an all-time definition of an MVP those two years with the Suns. Very few could play the pick and roll like him and when he shot the ball he never missed.

It was crazy because he was just pretty good in Dallas. Then he goes to the Suns and is playing out of his mind. Something about that up-tempo style suited him and it worked perfectly. Just give him the ball, everybody spring up court, and Nash will find someone when you least expect it.

All old players would be better now, especially perimeter and isolation players.

That whole suns team would be insane this era

@@ianmason2003 but specifically Nash would have a huge advantage. He was a consistent 50-40-90 player and one of the most accurate shooters of all time. It’s a shame he never took more shots

@@lik7953 that pass first mentality but we all knew he was a sniper when he wanted to be

@@klinkov6393 Amare said he’d play like Giannis if he played in this era

That doesn’t mean he was nerfed almost all point guards in the early 2000’s we’re expected to play a facilitator’s role, he did this while putting up 4 seasons of 50-40-90 shooting splits (Most in NBA history btw) and averaging double double numbers. From the years 04-09 his team was always top 5 in offensive efficiency. Obviously if you adjusted the pace and put him into today’s game he’d be averaging somewhere around 20+ PTS and 10+ AST on crazy efficiency, but nowhere in his career was he ever nerfed he just didn’t have a lot of opportunities to prove himself from the start. I get what you’re saying though.

He did say one of the Interviews he wished he would've shot more 3's and that he regretted not doing that.

@@gabrielsykes4125 Every player in the 2000's had roles to fill and that's what hindered some players to being superstar status. Unlike in today's league where it's positionless basketball.

@@ceciladams4882 Positionless basketball has its Good but, it definitely has its BAD...

@@gabrielsykes4125 he did have slot of options. He has said so himself and so did all of his teammates and coaches. They wanted him to score more but he stayed in the role that he knew. He has stated multiple times that if he knew where the game was headed today, that he would’ve shot twice as much back then.

I have watched all the passing/assist video's of Magic, Kidd, Stockton, etc., but after seeing those and watching all these guys live, I'm taking Nash as the best. One reason was he was more ambidextrous than any of these guys and he could make all the passes. And he was so fun to watch. Just amazing. Combine that with his shooting efficiency and I think Nash is underrated.

I love Nash and those Suns (they were my favorite team at the time) but they were weak defensively. I don't think they'd have beaten the Spurs anyway.

@@wadefan06 it was 2-2 when he got injured tho so?

They woulda beat Spurs, but the 05 Pistons were a buzzsaw of defense waiting in the East

@@nathanlawson313 I agree with that

@@nathanlawson313 This was 07 not 05 so it would've been the cavs with a young lebron and a bunch of scrubs

Story checks out.

Hair Canada

So you’re saying that he is like Samson? 🧐 I buy that! 😅

@@Conquistador76 I like that.

😂 bruh this all time great comment 😂😂🐐

Nash would've have been Stockton 2.0 if he could defend

@@pakman0049He’s an infinitely better player than Stockton

@@Abbad1579 ur drunk

@@karuscuvic How? Nash was a far better player than Stockton

No one else agrees with this. Like in the entirety of the world .@@Abbad1579

thanks for summarizing the video lol

now a 3rd

they're all from kobe fans that think nash got his MVPs

@@SuckOnYakuzA nash didn't deserve those MVP's tho kobe was 3x the player nash was

@@polarblaze9188 lmao casual ass kobetard spotted. too bad basketball is a team game and nash made his team better, making him the most VALUABLE player.

@@SuckOnYakuzA Kobe made the lakers alot better plus kobe managed to get 5 rings while nash got 0 like bruh kobe was just better than nash and was bet'ter at making his team better

I noticed this at the time but we all knew Nash wasn't getting elevated to the 3 straight MVP class of player.

2007 is Nash's best season. He was ridiculously efficient that season too.

@@MegaGiants89 his true shooting percentage was crazy good in '07. He knows he should of shot way more 3's than he did, especially with his accuracy from beyond the arc.

Nash was second in mvp voting that year very close to 3 in a row

Isaiah Thomas was better than nash

Agreed. I miss the 2000s. Sad to see all of the stars of that era are retired now.

@@FAlynn92 80s, 90s, 2000s=the best basketball of all time. It won't ever get better than that 30 yr period.

@Ethan Hill I meant 2000-2009. Lebron was better in the next decade.

@Ethan Hill based on accomplishments in the two different decades, he was definitely one of the stars of the 2010s, not the 2000s.

@Ethan Hill he got 1 in 2009. That's the end of that decade. And scoring average doesnt beat 3 mvps and 3 championships between 2010 and 2019

Same here I wish they had A chip.

Lebron and jokic are in that group as well

Jason Kidd? Mark Jackson? John stockton? magic?

John Stockton has played in the past 30 years man! That was the best floor general the Game has ever seen alongside Magic, and you could argue between them. Yet, CP3 and Nash are great too, just dont disrespect Stockton

Don’t forget rondo

Maybe Magic and Isaih Thomas could've filled Nash's role.

We still acting like Harden is a selfish player after we saw how he facilitated the offense all year???

Jason Kidd? Remember, he turned the nets from a bottom dweller to a team reaching the finals in back to back years as soon as he got there.

@@FAlynn92 an important thing about Nash is his absurd efficiency

@@dontmindmeimjustspectating2871 he’s good at distributing, but Nash was so selfless that he never averaged 20, when he was skilled enough to average a solidly efficient 22ish or a not particularly efficient 30.

Hell yeah

I want Tony Parker

He was a much better shooter tho, its a shame that Nash didn’t take more shots

He’s like the John Stockman of the 2000s without the defense but with 2 mvps and that he was the Batman instead of the robin

Better shooter

Good one... John could play D. Steve could not.

@@Bluecloudprod He said without the defense...

Clutch and cheating Horry is good at those

Hes 6'3

Top 3 is a reach. However I say top 6 or top 5

@@marqkuisphillip2295 yeah it’s subjective for sure but I would take him over Isaiah, Stockton, and Payton for the consistent outside shooting and efficiency. It’s certainly close though

This comment didn't age well

@@jlobiafra Only because Kyrie is a dingleberry and for some reason, Kevin Durant was traded as well. It's all good. I am just glad that a team in a predominately Jewish area doesn't have Kyrie anymore. I still follow Kevin and I'm glad he's back to form, dominating with Phoenix now.

@@infiniteaaron they started playing better with the interim coach after nash got fired with kyrie and KD

@@jlobiafra Fired? Interesting. When did that happen?

Funny though that had he been more selfish, he'd have even better stats, but chose to be a team player, and still had Godly numbers. Except a ring

You are correct I believe.......A Team Player for sure..... Unselfish!

but the fact that dirk lost in the first round doesn't matter for mvp voting

@@huh968 i guess, still think Nash deserved it

@@karanveerdhillon7867 Yeah. I would argue that Dirk and Kobe were both just as valuable to their respective teams as Nash was to his. I think that's why I never agreed with Nash winning two MVP's. Because if you took Dirk off the Mavs for a season, they would probably be just as bad as the Suns were without Nash (and same with Kobe and the Lakers at that time). We just never had to actually witness how bad their teams would be without them because they never left them, so the perception that Nash was more valuable to his team was in his favor. However, Nash was a hell of a player and certainly wasn't undeserving on his own right.

@@karanveerdhillon7867 Those players didn’t even really have better years

Uh, I can only assume they're talking about hand checking since they played with and without. Except, that's a low IQ take because Nash was the exact opposite type of player that 'checking' hindered. High-volume, isolation scorers like Jordan, Kobe, Carmelo, etc. were the type of player it hurt as it was harder to keep the ball manuvering in traffic and when pulling up for closely contested jump shots. I'm pretty sure the league started prohibiting defensive strats like that to shamelessly boost Jordan's production which came to be called 'The Jordan Rules'. Nash's offense was very similar to the modern league with transition offense, team movement and perimeter passing to find the open shot. In contrast, the norm in the mid 2000s was still mostly slow, stagnant team offense with isolation wings and PF/C post play. Nash rarely took contested shots; he was able to be so efficient because he only shot when it was the best shot available. He inarguably deserved at least one MVP and the only people who could possibly object are delusional Kobe riders who ignore his efficiency and the fact Kobe hurt his team as much as he ever helped them.

I don't think so... Maybe close but not quite. I think the thing that separates paul from nash is paul's defense. Nash is a bit too slow to guard anyone.
