This is how history is being made!
In 1996 I predicted something that nobody could even imagine. The fact that Steve Nash will be one of the greatest ever playing this game. At that time 99% of the fans in PHX were booing him when seeing Nash warming up before the game. Just like people who watch basketball today and fans who attend games, they didn't really have a clue about sports and the effort that some players put in throughout their sometime short(ened) career.
Because I was watching the Suns closely as die hard fan since 1991-1992, I noticed this young guard who's moves were...unreal due to the fact he played multiple sports in his youth. I knew he will be unstoppable in a league were giant players couldn't do complete lateral movements :)))
There are a few extreme nut-heads out there who even deny Nash the merit in earning 2 league MVP titles. That is just moronic! And yes, that includes Shaq too who destroyed the system in Phoenix over 1.5 years he played for the Suns. Some say Nash didn't deserve one of the trophies. Well...facts are that the next 2 years after his 2nd MVP were even better! So if you take 1 title, he still should have had 3 MVPs! ;)
Some smart and well-informed people on YouTube agree with me when they say RM07: "The NBA today wouldn't be what it is if Nash's Suns didn't pave the way... and now people are trying to disrespect his name by "giving" his MVPs to their favorite player who didn't win a second one (Kobe, Shaq) SMH. Nash deserved both his MVPs, and should have won the title in 2007 too."
MB: "Agree! The 3rd year and MVP was arguably Nash's best of the 3! Some say that people didn't think he should get a 3rd mvp because of other NBA greats that had 3 MVPs. Nash deserved all 3, but I can be happy that Dirk won one too despite their early playoff exit that year." :) "Well deserved Steve Nash!!!Most underrated superstar of the 2000’s. Could’ve averaged 25PPG if he wanted to."
JN: "Only Kobe and Shaq fans hate on Nash...everyone else acknowledges him as one of the greatest point guards in basketball history." So there you have it! FYI Nash is the LAST unselfish deadly shooting & passing real PG in the NBA. As much as I like CP3, he is not even close. :))) And...I am sure you didn't know this but..."The first video the NBA posted on their YouTube channel was Steve Nash kicking a basketball from half court and making it." said someone in the comments sections to Nash's HOF enshrinement speech video. :)
