More playoff series, more championships, He also has a Finals MVP

I mean do people value the regular season because Nash has 2 MVP's for what? To prove that he cannot lead an elite team in the playoffs and into the Finals?

And Nash plays 0 defense in that run-n-gun style the Suns try to live by. And now with Shaq he cannot even win games with big leads. And whenever Nash plays Tony Parker, Tony rips him apart


A guy named Wade has 1 also, but that doesnt mean he's better than Kobe or Lebron. `notevenclose

Note: I didnt read all of your post.

Most people like elevating Nash to God status that's why.

If by god status, you mean 3rd best PG in the league behind CP and DW, then yes, God status.

Dennis Johnson has a Finals MVP. So does Joe Dumars. Does that make him better than Drexler?

Cedric Maxwell has a Finals MVP. Barkley has none. Neither does Karl Malone.

Switch Place Theory: Put Parker on the Suns and they won't be as good. Put Nash on the Spurs they'll have a three-peat ;)
