"Many of the offenses Nash ran...were geared towards getting Nash shots..."

I imagine you are one of the 10 people that thought Nash was better passer than

Stockton did have a better FG%. Not sure why you would argue otherwise.

3/3/15 4:09pm

2.5% across that many shots is not "barely."

3/3/15 2:33pm

ok so similarly, 4% and 8% margins on the other 2 categories must be HUGE then

Those MVPs were complete garbage

i agree nash's defense was bad. but "steals" is probably one of the worst

nashty

3/3/15 2:30pm

true, Stockton wasn't great on ball, got a lot of steals because of smarts

palangi

Stockton made All NBA Defensive 2nd Team 5 times. He was very good at D
