Chauncey is definitely going to the HOF just off the strength of his Finals MVP

Come on man..... The Steve Nash slander needs to end. Those MVP seasons were pure domination on the offensive end
Ballerific gonna Ballerific. Isiah Thomas would approve of this nonsense

They don't know. Harden will be in the GOAT discussion for this very reason. I still stand by my statement at no point in his career was he a top 3 player.

True, but there's lots of guys in the Hall of Fame that were only really, really good on one side of the ball.

MVP guys?
What other MVP was a big of a non factor on the defensive end?

Steve Nash is one of the few players whos insane production on the offensive end makes up for his lack of defensive ability. Even so, weak defense at the wing is nowhere near as bad as weak defense in the paint. The Suns were still average on defense those years.
I'm far from one of those people who acts like defense isnt a thing, but Steve Nash on offense is the greatest offensive spectacle most of us have ever seen. Hes one of the 3 best passers most of us have ever seen and the greatest shooter ever.

Steve Nash was good player but he was given carte blanche with the Suns offense
Dudes don't become 25 percent better at age 30 without the system playing a HUGE part in it

^ Yes, D'Antoni's system even made Steve's free throw percentage go up during those years (check his stats). That explains everything. 
The system definitely worked well because of Steve, and Steve continued to get better as a player during those years under it. His success continued as he aged under different coaches (minus the slight drop off during the full year with Shaq and Terry Porter as coach, while missing Amare for much of that year as well).
This is a sad day for me especially. I know he's getting paid, but it is definitely not the way I wanted him to go. Just horrible luck that he got that freak injury on the Lillard play. Would have changed everything.
