Bill Simmons says he'll take Nash ahead of Iverson

[10bandz]

If you're a lotto franchise you take AI no question....Nash for one took a few years to develop, wasnt durable and couldnt carry a Squad dollo either. And Ray Allen didnt do it at the level that AI did it and struggled the minute he had a shytty squad. Ray might have an argument in todays game tho.

AI was flat out better than both Nash and Ray..if the sixers didnt have Billy King as Gm (The worst GM in Nba History) AI wouldnt be in the position where hes getting his legacy shyt on by Cac pundits

He still the most talented player in that draft (Kobe was flat out better obviously)

nash was only elite in MDA offense AI was elite period

I’m taking Nash

He can be great in any system and lead all time offenses

There is no evidence of that.

Those suns teams might not be as good with Iverson either, Nash was the perfect PG to run the 7 seconds or less offense with

Iverson isn’t a better shooter or playmaker than Nash

Would the sixers even made the playoffs if u Nash was in ivo place?

 

[Hersh]

ai >> nash.. and i dont think its close.

Prime Nash? Yes cmon that’s foolish to think otherwise

Every time Nash made the playoffs he had a legit all star next to him

Iverson wasn't playing with trash his whole career. and plus the Suns were trash until NASH flipped everything around

shouldn't be controversial.

if you surround steve nash with great defenders and rebounders he'll make the playoffs.

Zero finals apperance though.

It took awhile for Nash to become Nash. Then you have to factor Dantoni, he was a big part of Nash success. He was a good player in Dallas but he really became what he was in PHX. Those Suns teams had a lot of talent, more talent than AI ever had. Not taking anything away from Nash but he really don't deserve those MVP awards


Ray Allen was nice but he was not on Iverson's level. Bucks had a better roster than Philly but they still lost. He's just wasn't the impact player that AI was.

He deserved those MVP's bruh

AI got the finals at 25. Steve Nash put up 8.6pts and 4.9 dimes as a 25 year old 4th year player. Y’all really let Steve Nash’s 30 year old MDA years gas his whole resume up. Y’all talking y’all rather start a franchise with Nash a guy who didn’t even make the all star game until he was 27

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

hes still better than Steve System Player Nash

I here you man. Especially when you consider that people spend a great deal of time shytting on Steve’s biggest accomplishments...that being those MVPs and romanticizing AI’s...that being the 01 run

What 76er team is Nash making the playoffs let alone getting out the 1st round

if you put the suns in 2001 eastern conference where their competition are the pacers, bucks, raptors instead of the spurs, lakers, mavericks they'll make the finals.

Rule changes made Nash into a superstar.

When did AI have a star teammate and refuse to adapt? When he played with Melo his effiency went up

Man gis efficiency barely went up those two seasons . Yall make it seem like he went up to 50% or something
