Steve Nash...an irrelevant superstar

Suns have really fell into the depths of dispair when you can now find an NBA licensed Steve Nash bobble head doll in a dollar store. I couldn't believe it myself, but there he was sitting on the shelf for a mere 99 cents.

i hope you bought it. its worth at least 1.10

The only bobblehead I have is an Amare one I bought in his rookie year back in 02-03, I wonder if it's worth any money? The brand is Premium Play Makers and it's numbered to only 2,003

MaryvalesFinest · Post #4 » by **MaryvalesFinest** » Sat Aug 8, 2009 9:37 pm

So what 99 cents store was it at anyway and about how many were left? I might head over to buy some if their is a decent amount in stock.

He's very irrelevant in that he hasn't been on a losing team in for ever, has been top 3 in assists for the last 5 or 6 years, has won 2 MVP's and lead his team to the Conference Finals, and he's a future hall of famer, and one of the top assist men and most entertaining players in the league, but he's obviously irrelevant.

It's still up in the air if he's a lock for the Hall of Fame, if averages 8 assists per game for the next 3 years he'll pass Rod Strickland, Gary Payton and Isiah Thomas for 6 on the all-time list. Unless he plays another year or two after that he probably won't pass Oscar Robertson for 5th all-time. A championship would've helped

I think it's quite obvious he's a lock for the hall of fame. He has done a lot of charity and resparked the run n gun style of basketball during a lull period. 1 of 9 players to win 2 MVPs and 1 of 3 players to win it back to back or something like that.

It's safe to assume that he'll be in the hall of fame.

Nash made Tim Thomas, Steven Hunter, and Brian Skinner 43 million dollars, enough said...

Agree that he's a lock, I don't think the charity work is relevant but the rest are good reasons....

Cousy...HOF
Russell...HOF
Chamberlain...HOF
Abdul-Jabbar...HOF
Moses Malone....HOF
Bird...HOF
Magic...HOF
Jordan...HOF

Malone, Duncan and Shaq are locks.

I'm not putting him in the catagory of all these great players... He did it himself by winning 2 MVPs.

After looking through the list of MVP's it seems as if no MVP has ever not been elected to the HOF. Maybe Iverson or Dirk might break that streak but I think they'll both end up there.

If Stockton made it, Nash will and in my opinion they both deserve to be there.

You're not serious, are you?

Whether you like him or not, MVP = HOF lock. 2 MVPs = mega lock.

If you hadn't broken up my post you'd see that i said 8 apg over the next 3 years puts him in front of Isiah and Payton who were great PG's, the two MVP's showed he had 2 great years, all his seasons before that weren't HOF or MVP calibur... I think the fact that he turned around this orginazation and had great success here gets him in, i hope he gets in - Career stats link:

But it doesn't matter; he's a lock right now because of his MVP awards. That's a fact. To say otherwise is to completely ignore the history of the league. I can count on no hands the number of MVPs who aren't in the HOF.

If you get two MVPs and you are in the hall of fame. His ticket is stamped.

The media will play it like D'Antoni made him but i hope ur right

He will be a HOFer, but an irrelevant one at that. As far as MVPs go, even Dirk lead his team to the finals once. Peyton and Stockton did it too, without a MVP honor.

Nevermind I think this was sarcasm the OP is from a Spurs fan, check the Spurs forum guys...

Nash bobblehead in a dollar store - so what? I've seen Beatles albums in the used bin, are they irrelevant?
And the Nash BH is likely a knockoff.
(Mike Carlin at DC Comics used to collect bad Superman and batman knock-off merch - had a whole wall of it)
