Nash... Barkley only had a few prime years here. He was considered a future HOF before he came here.

Nash. Barkley took us further, but overall impact has to go to Nash.

Nash was the better overall Sun due to longevity and what he accomplished when he came here but Barkley was the greatest player I think to ever wear a Suns uniform.

Sorry got to go with Kevin Johnson before Nash. KJ was deadly, passing skills on par with Nash and was capable of dunking on hakeem O. Retired rather then have the disgrace of wearing another uniform.

As far as effect on the suns and city.... Barkley could have been governor of az if he wanted to. He changed the whole city into a power house and a major draw. Nash was just here longer and was a stabilizer.

Best memories of sports was the 93 finals. No Nash team could touch that team. Barkley's numbers were insane!!

Sorry obviously you don't know the history of Barkley or werent old enough when Barkley came to Phoenix. He wasn't considered a HOF till after the suns. In Philly he was a trouble maker and they wanted to get rid of him.

Barkley didn't sell his soul to the devil for a ring. Nash tainted his legacy going to the Lakers.

I hate Westbrook for that shirt and those glasses. I hate all NBA players and all people that wear glasses like that when they dont need to wear them.
