I agree with that 100%. Cleveland played with them through 3 Quarters but as soon as the 4th started it seemed like Cleveland hit a wall while Nash was still running around like a child on speed. At the timeouts, Cleveland was gasping for air while Phoenix was barely sweating.

Nash is my favorite NBA player....he is simply amazing! I have him in my fantasy leagues and he single-handedly earns me assists every week but his worth can't be seen by simply looking at stats...you are right, he controls the game! Reggie Miller moved like him but not with the ball...Steve makes every player on the team better! He deserves his 3rd straight MVP award this year and I hope he gets it. I saw Cousy and, of course, Stockton in their prime and even they didn't control a game like he does! I would make him my point guard on my all-time team I think...certainly up there with the best ever! I cringe when I hear stuff like "Wade and Bryant are the best guards in the NBA"...what does best mean? Talent...sure! But to build a team...give me Steve Nash!

I pretty much agree with everything you just said. I had the opportunity to watch Reggie Miller play several times. And he moved without the ball with such ease and he always moved himself into a position that was best for the team. He made Mark Jackson a better point guard. But Nash is just unreal. My point guard would be Nash or Magic.

There have been a lot of great players...If I was gonna start 5 playersfrom the all-time list, I guess I'd go:
Center...Wilt Chamberlain
Power Forward...Larry Bird
Small Forward...MJ
Shooting guard...Magic Johnson
Point...Steve Nash
And brings the likes of Kareem, Elgin Baylor, Dr J, Oscar Robertson and Jerry West off the bench as a second unit! I think I would win a few...even if I coached...lol!

That Cruz guy is a weak link (or maybe the missing one)...body like Charles Barkley when constipated with the moves of PeeWee Herman...a guy that scores only when playing with himself!

If I had to start a team it would be

Center - Bill Russell
Power Forward - Wilt Chamberline
Shooting Forward - Larry Bird
Shooting Guard - Michael Jordan
Point Guard - Magic Johnson

Olajuwon
Rodman
Bird
Jordan
Virtual Cousy
