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

Also you started comparing other accolades like MVP awards, so I just wanted to make sure you didn't want to get into a pissing contest between Nash and Stock, because Nash would lose hands-down.
Stockton was better than Nash, but Nash was still a great player and a likely HOFer.

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

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

longer than "2 good years"

nashty

Those MVPs were complete garbage

First of all, I'm not understanding why longevity should work against Stockton

Nash played horrible defense. Stockton played excellent D. If you include

ayfan

3/3/15 2:26pm

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

3/3/15 2:42pm

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

What is Gary Payton's answer? I honestly don't know. Should this be obvious?

rcbyufan

Let's just say he sings high praises for Stockton

Twin Roots

3/3/15 3:09pm

well that seems obvious given gary and john played against each other

Nash was a system PG

That also has a lot to do with it.
