Legitimately one of the best point guards of all time. Everyone around him seemed to succeed. It was fun to watch a player of his caliber play the game the "right way"...never flopping, popping his nose back in place on the court, taking insane blows and getting up as if nothing happened rather than acting like he got shot.
Something about Nash's shot.... Idk what it is but it always got to me. The way it hits the bottom of the net amazes me. I wish he was more aggressive scoring the ball.
I love point guards such as Nash or Curry who always run the floor without changing of speed. It looks so comfortable and effortless. The ball seems to be never stopped and went to the basket so easily!
I only say that because Curry always talks about how growing up, he looked up to and wanted to play like Steve Nash...And now he does, just with better scoring.
Sucks he's retiring and I'm glad he went out in a major way with this big stats and his game assists due is so accurate with it and FT and I think he's probably the best FT shooter and assists he's up there with the best of them and CP3 still good tho but he's not on Nash level yet...I mean well CP3 is not far away tho to be honest but yeah..And even LA was screaming his name but we all know this was the end and I think he can be a decent coach.
When you watch players like Steve Nash, Jason Kidd and John Stockton, you can see what a real technical point guard looks like. This is why they are universally respected in the NBA. The same goes with Magic Johnson. They are generals on the field.
This was MVP form Nash and he really was feeling it with no hesitation on pulling up from the top of the key and or right elbow was all day!! lol!! Nice shoot out and amaaaazing rivalry between this two storied/respected franchises.
he play super effective... he control the team pace and flow so well.. with his passing plus super vision from him... give other teammate have a easy bucket and perfect tempo to play the game..
I remember the first time I watched Nash live was at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the guy was unstoppable, it was like he had eyes behind his head setting up unbelievable assists, then his shooting was crazy. The best white guy I ever saw play basketball live.
I miss Nash. I grew up watching him. Not Kobe, LeBron, Jordan, etc. A kid out of Canada with a heart as big as his work ethic, and he has inspired me to work just as hard.
Although Steve Nash retired, he went out in such a great way. He left with amazing numbers. He has a career FG% of 49%, 42.8% from behind the arc, and the best career FT% in all of NBA history at 90.4%. He is someone that the NBA needed. Players look up to him as a great player, and he changed the game. He played with the defending team's brains. You see similar tactics in current athletes like Steph Curry. They both rely on crafty maneuvers to get by defenders rather than just speed alone. This is why they are both amazing defenders, and Steve Nash will have a lasting legacy left behind in Curry.
Icaruz Curry is not an amazing defender. Never was, never will be. Curry is just another skinny shooter who wishes he had half the ball IQ, court vision, and passing abilities that Nash, had.
jeez this was when he was slowing down too! and hes still running that offense to perfection! lost his a little speed but still has the vision, craftiness, and the shooting.
I remember watching this game in awe, I didnt think to much of it the Lakers were really good this year & Suns weren't so I figured they would get shitted on but I wanted to watch it anyway. Shit I was wrong Suns made a crazy comeback & I'm glad I watched, this was one of the best games I've seen in my life playoffs included. Steve Nash is an animal, when he fell outta bounds still kept the ball in play AND made the pass & they got 3pts out of it tsss So Nasty.
Steve nash video....... alot of curry bashing....... i saw one comment say "without steve nash, there would be no steph curry" ... okay so? you learn from watching other greats... there would be no kobe if it werent for MJ, prime example. yall hating for no reason, appreciate greatness and on this particular video, appreciate Steve Nash.

Watching Nash play is a thing of beauty.
agree!
Absolutely.
Rob A. 20 assist damn
Something about Nash's shot.... Idk what it is but it always got to me. The way it hits the bottom of the net amazes me. I wish he was more aggressive scoring the ball.
lots of rotation and high arc
He was when he was in Dallas
how i miss the Steve Nash...
thanks for uploading
Damn, Nash was a god. Sad that he didn't get a ring, same for T-Mac.
I love point guards such as Nash or Curry who always run the floor without changing of speed. It looks so comfortable and effortless. The ball seems to be never stopped and went to the basket so easily!
i miss this steve nash!
Nash carried that team every night. Pretty incredible player
Without Nash, there would be no Curry..
Why?
I only say that because Curry always talks about how growing up, he looked up to and wanted to play like Steve Nash...And now he does, just with better scoring.
True

True
The sounds Pau Gasol makes when he shoots in traffic are hilarious
Stephen Sunday 😂😂😂😂
That falling out of bounds pass was a thing of beauty!
5:36 damn that was a insane pass

At 2:18 Nash makes Fisher look like a darn fool
as always
This was MVP form Nash and he really was feeling it with no hesitation on pulling up from the top of the key and or right elbow was all day!! lol!! Nice shoot out and amaaaazing rivalry between this two storied/respected franchises.
Looked at the 19 points be like: oh well, just another ordinary highlight. Then saw 20 assists: wtf
Underrated clutch player one of my all time greats sux to not see him play no more
Saul Carrasco underrated? he won 2 mvps
Nick Pagano He said UNDERRATED CLUTCH PLAYER,dumb ass.
+Nick R Both of which he should've never won
+ey b0ss That's not your call lmao
ey b0ss your statement shows your lack of understanding of team basketball
he play super effective... he control the team pace and flow so well.. with his passing plus super vision from him... give other teammate have a easy bucket and perfect tempo to play the game..
Nash Is a Great player miss this era of basketball pleasure to watch
I remember the first time I watched Nash live was at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the guy was unstoppable, it was like he had eyes behind his head setting up unbelievable assists, then his shooting was crazy. The best white guy I ever saw play basketball live.
The reason why I've started playing basketball in the first place. Getting dishes for your teammates is a lot of fun.
Great vid and I Gotta say channing frye was clutch
I can honestly say this was one of the most suspenseful and exciting games in my 11years of watching the nba thank you dawkins for putting this up
it looks to be so effortless for him to make those passes, but there's years of experience behind that
Nash was pretty much the pioneer of this small-ball/3point era of basketball
He made offensively challenged people Look great
i can see the curry similarities, both rely on skill, very crafty, and both among the best shooters ever. both gonna have a MVP after this season too
And u can see even tho curry isn't at Nash's level at passing he's pretty good at it
I miss Nash. I grew up watching him. Not Kobe, LeBron, Jordan, etc. A kid out of Canada with a heart as big as his work ethic, and he has inspired me to work just as hard.
If only nash were more agressive with his offense since he was a top shooter.

Icaruz Curry is not an amazing defender. Never was, never will be. Curry is just another skinny shooter who wishes he had half the ball IQ, court vision, and passing abilities that Nash, had.
Steve Nash was never an amazing defender. Do you even know basketball?
LOL. They are both shit defenders, and i love both but cmon bruh smh
+TheRealMVP At least nash played the passing lanes. He depended on his bigs for defense.
Best passer all time, great shooter also. Those nasty left hand layups 👍🏻
What an exciting game.And made all the more enjoyable by the great commentary
I think it's safe to say that Nash is the greatest passer of all time
Flash and creativity for sure
+Hayden Keenit have you ever heard of larry bird and magic johnson?
This man would find ANYBODY open. Truly miss Nash playing
i think this is their best rivalry game
That lay-up at 1:06 was sick. Every teammate on the bench golf clapped that shyt 0.0
Only thing I have to say is, Nash earned one of those MVP awards.
5:46 this has got to be in the top 10 best passes of all time
this game was crazy
Miss Nash so much.
Given VC played with both Kidd and Nash, would be interesting to hear from him about two legendary PGs.
father time is a bitch
The sun have a great medical staff he'd probably be playing at a high level now if he stayed in Phoenix but his body has given up on him.
+J.R. Swish (Keem) Yeah. NBA 2K14 commentators are always talking about that. Lol.
Father Time in undefeated
jeez this was when he was slowing down too! and hes still running that offense to perfection! lost his a little speed but still has the vision, craftiness, and the shooting.
I miss this NBA.
Man.. this was a championship team!! Wish Nash got one.
If you played a drinking game, for everytime Kevin McHale said "great pass by Steve Nash" you'd been in the ER for alcohol poisoning
This game in real time was so stressful. I really enjoyed suns nash man. Curry before Curry to be perfectly honest.
Don’t compare Nash to curry ever again
@@cursin stay mad
damn steve nash. that save
This why Curry don't excite me... Nash did the same shit he does.. Except he set his teammates up far better.. Taking nothing away from Curry..
But I bet Kobe excites you?
Zay SlayHer Back then....
U blind? Curry best shooter in nba history. Saying Nash did everything curry is doing. ha
Bazooka KaKa History? Shut your young dumb ass up.. Fact.. NBA fans are Stupid.
+SDS Overfiend curry is overrated, and a nash wannabe
I remember watching this game in awe, I didnt think to much of it the Lakers were really good this year & Suns weren't so I figured they would get shitted on but I wanted to watch it anyway.

Unbelievable pass @ 5:22
Back When Position Roles Existed
What a game.
4:25 anybody else hearing "Steve Nash" instead of "Defense"?
Remember when the Lakers were good lol. Damn seems so long away
They're looking good this season!
BlazingApple stop
BlazingApple they sure did right? dumbass
Look at the date of the comment
We back
5:44 Just .... Unbelievable ..
He is truly a point god
I miss Steve Nash
I miss seeing him play
i miss guys like nash and stockton. Although it may be that I miss great half court basketball
Imagine if nash was a great defender. Would probs be regarded as 3rd best pg ever after magic and stockton
Who do you got for say top ten?
+Tren Clen Stockton isn't over Isiah or Kidd.
+Tren Clen No way Stockton is better than Isaiah
+Tony Parker He played 2
+rest Trash Talker nash is better than kidd
Half of these are layups are dunks...not a lot of cheesy assists with Nash. All quality
I miss Steve everyday😕
Ryan Wow im jealous.. u probably got to see all the games on tv... i dont live in tht area so.. and i wasnt into bball as much when i was a young lad
Nash is still a thing marvel after all these years
Who doesn't like a teammate like steve?
amazing game
his basketball IQ and decision making on the court leaves me speechless. he doesn't have to score a single basket to excite the fans of basketball
4:10 Artest wide open in the corner
*I* wouldn't pass it to lakers Artest for a wide open three, very good player but dude was no offensive marvel with the lakers.
This man was a walking double-double.
Good old days when we've got healthy Nash and Kobe..
Suns have some awesome chemistry
he's a tough ass player
My favorite player all time
Imagine if Nash and Carter were 10 years younger here.
And Grant Hill that shit would be Finals worthy
If only the Lakers had this version of Nash a couple years ago..
favourite point guard
When you realize Fisher has 5 rings and Nash has none
Didn't seem that long ago, but just realized now all the NBA players are wearing fcking stockings on their arms and legs
Steve Nash pioneered the Point Guard position, with out Nash there would be no Curry.
I see a lot in curry the way he moves like nash
nash looks like a greek god whilebon the court with his hair flowing backwards whilst running
The goat pg in my opinion
If Nash shot more, I think he would have a chip.
Kobe is so good that he scores in other player highlights
lol its weird hearing kevin mchale as a commentator
Kevin Harlan,Kevin Mchale duo is Best i swear🔥
this what i Call generousity
I remember watching this game in fourth grade
Get off youtube.
Did I see Channing Frye make a two pointer?
imagining the box score for this game...
smart player
great basketball mind
Steve nash video....... alot of curry bashing....... i saw one comment say "without steve nash, there would be no steph curry" ... okay so? you learn from watching other greats... there would be no kobe if it werent for MJ, prime example. yall hating for no reason, appreciate greatness and on this particular video, appreciate Steve Nash.
- BenIsTooGreat the person who said that was showing no hate my guy. If anything that shows more respect for Nash.
Nash + Carter = Deadly duo. I they had been 6 years younger, they would have ripped the lakers in two.
Kobe's pass from out of bounds was so sick
Nash was a true PG he knew were to put the ball.
this suns lineup aint so bad
I hate that he never won a ring💯😂
The Suns was so stacked back then
139-137 in 3OT. Miss these physical dogfights. Now days these numbers are put up in regulation.
