I hate how steve nash is absolutely so overrated, why is that?

Steve Nash is soooo overrated..i hate that. I mean yeah i have to admit he is a good passer and a good point guard, but I mean i heard people saying he's probably the best PG in history or simply just the NBA right now. I mean over A.I. no wayy!! People are never giving A.I. the credit he deserves..what just cause steve nash is averaging about 4 more assists than him he's sooo much better now. wth. A.I. is 3rd in the NBA in scoring..he plays the most minutes a game, never getting tired, and playing his heart out, and hes averaging 7.3 assists a game. He finds the open man, can break anyones ankles, and knows how to create a shot for himself. i hate when they say he's a ball hogg...with those numbers...no he's not. AND HE'S DEFINETELY SUPPOSED TO HAVE THAT ALL-STAR PG STARTER SPOT EVERY YEAR. he deserves a lott of credit. and plus unlike other players, AI has a lot of years left in him.

Iverson's ROCKS!! GO NUGGETSS!! (even tho im from chicago, who suck.

answwer please :)

If you like AI what does it matter what others think? They're both good players and have lots of fans.

But I don't agree with folks that claim Nash is the best PG ever. Not that he is a bad PG but he is not the best ever.

I hate how steve nash is absolutely so overrated, why is that?nba fights ,nba teams

Puleeeeese...What about Deron Williams who hands Chris Paul his butt on a platter every time he plays him. He can also shut down AI in a heartbeat. Steve Nash? He's one of my favorites, but he's no Stockton, no Magic, no Big O, but he's good in his own right. Can anyone tell I'm a Jazz fan???? lol
I don't think Nash is the best pg ever, but he's top 10 for sure.

his defense isn't really good at all. but he does what a point guard is supposed to do, improve his teams play, be a leader and make the passes.

i think ai is underrated, i dont know why people dont give him as much credit... i think he should be playing shooting guard actually, but he's never been in a position to do so. but still, he does very well at pg, and like you said , always plays his heart out.
Well he would not be so overrated if people would stop overrating him..
AI is good but Nash makes everyone else good. Didn't Ai start over Nash in the all star game??????
Iverson is a great player, much more talented than Nash, but will he be able to make Phoenix win as much as Nash can? That's why they really praise Nash.

But are there really a lot of people saying Nash is the greatest point guard EVER? I don't know anyone who says he is, but they say he is the best point guard right now - which in fairness may be true. But not of all time!

During Nash's MVP seasons, his scoring and passing and shooting percentage stats were pretty much an average season for Stockton (a great defender too) during his peak. And Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson, and Bob Cousy's numbers were off the charts.

If people are in fact saying he is the greatest point guard ever, yes, that is overrating him, I agree. And if Iverson keeps being criticized, then that is underrating him!
He can't defend Nash is an horrible defender.
It's a tough comparison because when you think of a point guard they are usually pass first, shoot second,and A.I. is a shoot first pass second point guard.

I agree that Nash is very over-rated and there is no way that he is even in consideration as being the greatest of all-time: Magic Johnson , Oscar Robertson, John Stockton, Jason Kidd all have had better careers than Nash.

Iverson is one heck of a scorer and that's the strength of his game. Nash is a great distributor but he's no where near the best of all time.

A.I. is definitely having an all-star worthy year and hey the fans voted and they want to see the Answer start so all props to him!

I bet if Jason Kidd was on the Suns, he'll be considered the best point gaurd too with all those all stars players to work with. but I can't take anything away from steve nash though, he's a bad a** player.
The main reason he is considered the best is you have to watch the suns play without him. Its a totally different team without him, that's why he stands out more than the other PGs. You could probably see a better offense run in acollegegame than when Nash is off the floor. They weren't a consistent playoff team until Nash got there. Now they are putting up 50-60 win seasons and title contenders. And yes Amare and Marion were there when they scrubs.

Don't get me wrong, every other PG in the league is more athletic, faster, and stronger than Nash. So in comparison and in head to head match-ups these players are more than likely going to outperform him on the stat sheet. The only difference is PHX wins the games. When the PG position is defined by making your team better that's why he is considered the best in the game today.

EDIT

And Steve Nash's MVP season's he had these stats along with leading the league in assists. %26gt;50% from the field, %26gt;40% from 3pt range, and %26gt;90% from the line. Only four other players in NBA history have ever done that.
The best PG is Chris Paul. But Steve Nash is still the best passing PG in the NBA averaging over 12 assists a game. He is also a great scorer. He averages 19 PPG and he could score more if not such a great sharer of the ball. If you have ever seen him in a game you would know that he can score. He has also won two consecutive MVPs and last year should have had three, which would make him one of the only players in history to do that. He might also be the best passing point guard ever to play and he makes everyone better, which is what a PG is supposed to be, not a scorer.
i know seriously

STEVE NASH CANNOT GUARD A ****** CHAIR!
Iverson's really good but Nash is way better. Definitely not overrated... HE'S THE BEST PG EVER!!!
he's good but if you give me marion, stoudemire, bell, and barbosa i would average 12 assists a game too. i would win 2 mvps also
Allen Iverson is more of a natural shooting guard than point guard. I would even put Mr. Triple Double -- Jason Kidd ahead of him if I were to make a list....low FG% be damned. How can the league MVP be overrated? The day Steve Nash joined the Suns they became a better team that's what a point guard is suppose to do. The Nuggets did not become an overnight success when AI joined them did they?
Wow..

I don't even really watch basketball and I know Steve Nash is one of the best players in the league

I'm a bulls fan and I would take Nash any day...
He's not overrated. He's the best point guard in the NBA (even though Chris Paul is quickly catching up and will probably take over as the best point guard in the league pretty soon.)
Nash is no where close to the best PG in history, probably not top 5, but he's still the best right now. He is a lights out shooter (47% from 3, come on), has lead the league is assists the past 3 years, and it's obvious how much better he makes his team. AI is great, but he's never been a good shooter (he's having a pretty good year with his FG%), and up until this year has averaged around 4 TO's a game, his assist to TO is always much lower than Nash's. They're both great, but as far as PG goes, Nash %26gt; AI
U sir r absolutely right finally someone with a brain better that Ivo never!! Iverson has got to be th best PG in the nba and i bet he'd wup nash in a one on one
he's not overrated besides he's not the greatest PG, and he's just a hall of famer PG
cuz he's white and whenever they get a chance to vote for a white MVP they do it on the spot cuz those chances don't come often anymore...its true
AI isn't even a PG he is a SG. He has a score first mentality most of the time. And I have heard very few people say Nash is the best PG ever. He is the best in the league right now, with Paul and other up and coming guys getting closer. Nash is clutch, he can find anyone and he makes everyone around him way better. AI seems to hinder his team mates more than he helps. I love AI but Nash is definitely better as a PG.
Nash is good at outside shooting, passing and speed, Absolutely horrible at everything else. Most of his success comes from the system he plays in anyway. Atleast with AI you get some kind of rebounding (despite the size) and amazing defense.
both Iverson and Nash rock!

they're both in my top5 favorites

Don't worry,

Iverson rocks, but he doesn't get acknowledged as the best PG in the game because he is not PURE PG,

most of his career in Philly, and even now in Denver, he's known as a Scoring Guard,

that's why

and Nash is still the best PG in the game,

people like him so much bcuz whenever Nash is injured,

the Suns are flatout as bad as KRAP
It's all about practice. Practice. Yeah I'm talking 'bout practice. A.I. is a piece of sh*t and ******s all the time. That is why Nash is considered better. I think Deron Williams was better than both of them last year. Chris Paul and Jason Kidd are above them all this year.
I agree Nash is overrated, but AI is no were near the best PG ever either. Ever heard of guys named Magic, Stockton, Big O, Hodini of the Hardwood? all those guys usurp both Nash and Iverson in many many ways.
