Nash's teams were only contenders 2 years of his career also.

Nash was great those 2 years but the system was much our own "go fast go hard" system, a stat padder, without great half court(redzone) execution.

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

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

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

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

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
