Should Suns Sign "Greek Steve Nash" As Backup PG?

[Lakers_4_Life]

Would it solve the Phoenix Suns issue of needing to find a player that can play same style as Nash and give them this for 15 minutes a game and maybe be final piece to push them over the top if the other point guard can also play defense as it appears "Greek Nash" can?

Here is "The Greek Steve Nash":

They should give him a chance, but he is no where near the level of Steve Nash..

[El Turco]

he is nowhere near nash.

EDIT: damn, missed the post above me.

Well, now that the "T-Mac of Greece" a.k.a Spanoulis has come to the NBA and earned a big fat FAIL, why not give the "Nash of Greece" a shot?

From the video I see zero resemblance to McGrady, I do however see a strong resemblance to Nash which would explain him being called "The Greek Steve Nash".

[Blame Rasho]

So how many boards have you told that to Lakers_4_Life? Last I remember he was crying to leave the USA since he couldn't handle the NBA lifestyle.

FAILURE.

BTW, the play vs Wade shouldve been a blocking foul, as he didnt have his feet set at all.

And the "Rejects Dwight Howard's Dunk Attempt Above THe Rim" cluip is hilarious. It way a layup in which he swatted Howard's wrist.

I stopped watching after that point since it seemed clear t me this guy was way over hyped by the video maker.

Apparently you don't realize that in FIBA you are not allowed to just lower your shoulder and run over defenders regardless if your name is Wade or not. The only place that is a foul for blocking is the NBA and if the player is named Wade. He will not get that call anywhere else.

This guys is clearly the worst two-time under-18 European MVP ever!

Only in the NBA? I dont exactly understand yor grammar, bt are you trying to say that there are no blocking fouls in FIBA play?

From the official FIBA site:

There are two types of fouls. The first ones are called defensive fouls. They occur when the offensive player is being fouled by the defender. Defenders should not block, push, trip, strike or hold the player in possession of the ball.

Either way, Its not because it was Wade.

It couldve been Marc Blount, Kobe Bryant, Mike Miller, Brad Miller, or Earl Boykins, it wouldve still been a blocking foul.

He didnt have his feet set. Its not a charge, regardless of where the game is taking place.

You obviously don't understand simple rules. When you lower your shoulder into someone and run over them that is in front of you and occupying the space the feet DO NOT have to be set. That is true in the NBA and FIBA. It's just that in the NBA Wade always gets those types of calls and another player too that comes to mind is Manu. Regardless by the rule book it is NOT a foul on Spanoulis but on Wade. It's just that in FIBA games are called much more to the rules than to superstar status. Your response is typical of not even knowing the feet do not have to be set when the offensive player lowers his shoulder and runs over the defender that is already in the space and occupying it.

It's amazing how so few fans even realize the feet being set doesn't apply when the defender lowers his shoulder into you.
