The amount of probing Nash did, especially across the baseline, is definitely a skill that is widely used with ball-handlers of the modern era.I don’t hear anyone from this generation saying they modeled their game after Steve Nash
None of these guys ever acknowledge Nash
Now whether or not the players are aware Nash is the reason for it doesn't make him not the reason for it.
So I would say that is at least one thing Nash has inspired others to do.

If only Kwame didn't have hands like a toddler, Nash would be rightfully excoriated for the overrated player he really was.

You guys are blinded by the fact that D’Antoni ran that uptempo, 3s over 2s offense.
Strip allllll that away Nash is still slightly above average.
Tons of PGs average 15 and 10
I won’t even mention how he rode the bench his first 4 seasons.
He was an excellent shooter.
Again, dude averaged 14-8…..
Meanwhile J-Kidd averaged 12-8 and Nash was soooooooo much better
J-Kidd was the one he was traded for the first time. Nash then goes back to PHX, and Kidd wins with Dirk

You realize you are proving my point? It's easy to hide a PG. They are not critical to having a good defense.
Suns managed to have competent defense with Nash, because fundamentally they aren't that critical. you can have nash, and shawn marion, and Q rich and have a solid defense.
You're just cherry picking. the other spurs two playoff series Tony Parker, .490 TS% he didn't score efficiently at all so it's literally not "everytime"

J Kidd's teams produced offenses ranked in the 20's.
Nash's teams produced THE MOST EFFICIENT OFFENSE IN THE HISOTRY OF BASKETBALL for like 4 years straight,
If it really is so easy, and all you need is 15 and 10, you need to explain the insane offensive performance of the suns. regardless of the cast, teammates with Amare, no Amare.
Why did it produce historic offensive results?

‘20 Lakers. Enough said.
Going a little further back you have the ‘15 warriors. Love/Kyrie got hurt, Warriors were discredited at the time. Discredited even louder after losing the next year.

PHX was the ONLY team shooting volume 3s. That’s why
Look at them compared to the modern NBA now
They’ve always got credit for doing it first

Hes going to say it was all Dantoni but those Knicks teams had a top 10 offense once in his tenure there.

Do you at least feel Nash was worthy of being a First Ballot HOFer?

Since I heard you say he was slightly above average.

Of course.
This isn’t about his hall candidacy though
It’s just amazing how much criticism John Stockton gets, when he and Nash are the same player

PHX shot the most 3s but not by much.
GSW, Houston Rockets, Lakers, Spurs, Wizards, Nets were all shooting around 20 3s a game.
Suns were at 24-25 in Nash's mvp year
the sun's weren't shooting orders of magnitude more 3s. Other teams were close to them in attempt volume and none of those other teams had the sun's level of efficiency.

The D'Antoni system was "give the ball to Steve 98% of the time and run a million pick and rolls"
It was a smart idea, but people act like he was performing some dark secret magic.

They aren't the same player at all.
