Bill Simmons says he'll take Nash ahead of Iverson
- Thread starter viktordoomsecretwars
- Start date
at 21 years old he dropped 7.5 dimes as a rookie along with 23 pts....

half man half bearpig
He damn sure wasn’t playing with Michael Finley, Dirk, Amare, Marion, Joe Johnson etc
Stackhouse, Dikembe Mutombo, Melo, Toni Kukoc, Rip, Marcus Camby, and Kenyon Martin aren't scrubs

Yeah breh. He made two all nba teams in Dallas. He was already a great player.
Russillio’s point about Iverson only getting past the first round one time after 2001...

He didn’t make all nba until his 6th season and it wasn’t even first team. Stop acting like he was some star player he was a late bloomer who got boosted by MDA. AI was a legitimate superstar, real baller, a real legend
How are they on the same level? What black man can average 7pts and 4 dimes a game for 4 seasons and then become good at 27 in his 6th year and be considered at the same level as guy who put up 23/7 and dominated at 21 rookie season? AI was an elite player for several coaches/systems and Nash was only elite with MDAs system. Just cuz he was an all star in Dallas after 4 tries doesn’t mean he was elite he was just a good player who was great later in his career.
Steve got those MVPs and didn’t make the finals....AI got the MVP and made the finals the same year. He lost 4-1 in the finals and still managed to have the most memorable play from the series. Nash could never carry a team like AI did that year simple as that

I see the argument for both but I've always seen AI as the better player
Nash was a huge beneficiary to the rule changes and playing for D'Antoni. AI benefited as well with him averaging 33 PPG in 06 and just being overall more efficient but he was past his physical prime by then, early 00s AI would have really benefited from the 04-05 rule changes. I wouldn't build a team around either tbh (size matters, and neither could defend) but if I had to it would be AI
Afaic Nash isn't even the best PG of his era, Kidd was better imo

Nash played damn near the whole season the year Marion & Amar’e left. Avg close to the same numbers as his 1st mvp and missed the playoffs. That would been his life he didn’t have dirk or amare
