+A Ciraco Honest to God, after that last two assists in the #1 and #2 spots, I was simply left saying that, "What the fuck?", and scrolled down to the comments just to see if anyone else was left saying that, "What the fuck?"
THE GOAT PASSER. Top 5-10 PG of all time. Don't care about the ring argument. He's clutch, efficient, selfless, total team player, effortless passes, high bball iq.
Based on what? Sure the newer generation of point guards seems to only care about scoring because that's what gets attention or their team may need them to be scorers first but Curry, Irving, Wall, Rondo, Lawson, Teague, Westbrook, Rubio, Lillard and many more are all gifted and willing passers.
Anthony Lol at you listing Teague, Lillard and esspecially Mr. BallHog Kyrie Irving, I'll let Westbrook pass because for as of late he has been a nice two way PG for the past somewhat 2 seasons but he still hogs the ball but other then that i cant believe you listed Irving lmao do you even watch the NBA?
Its24x i agree with you somewhat, but steph curry is a young steve nash. westbrook, lillard, irving etc. all those guys prefer to score but theres still some guys who'd rather see their teammates score like chris paul and steph
He needed more of a Kevin Garnett/Tim Duncan than Kobe though. Stoudemire despite his super star performance with the Suns, was no rebounder or defender.
steve & amare were one of the best duo's to watch,sad how their career's are ending.steve with age and amare with injury. steve will always be my fav player of all time.
How the fuck does he get so much torque and power into his weird ass passes dude. And how the fuck is it that accurate especially if he's not looking, like jeez man
This is like my 100th time watching this vid. I know you wont ever see this but still Thank you Nash. Thank you for the fun and amazing moments that you shared with us. You will forever be my #1 favorite.
Iniesta never was known for shooting though guys. For somebody who shot 50 40 90 for 3 seasons I'd say this man is more like a Ronaldino with a longer prime and a little less flair.
Such an incredible player. Not very athletic, or strong, or tall, but has the most unbelievable skill and talent and literally made the suns competitors by himself.
When I did Passes like this, I got bench. Coach said I was wild and nobody knows when I'm passing which is why they drop some many passes. This is why I loved Nash, he made it work.
He may not be considered the best point guard of all time (at least I consider him the best and my favorite player) but no one can deny that he is the most artistic and unique passer of all time. His assist are beyond awesome
Why is it point guards like nash and Stockton were never able to win atleast one championship? (I know nash is still playing but very unlikely the lakers will make it to the finals.)
BasketballStud99 Nash - a combo of 2 things. 1 - poor defense. 2- the other superstar on the team was also a poor defender. You can win a title with a top guy who is a lousy defender, but not if BOTH of your top 2 guys are lousy defenders (the lone exception - the 1988 Lakers) . Stockton - a combo of 3 things. 1 - Jordan/Pippen dominant at the same time. 2- Karl Malone sucked in crunch time. 3- Stockton was good to great for a long time, but never *dominant* ... he was never the clear-cut top PG in the league for a season and was never a serious MVP contended.
***** False , he was dominant , he had the most steals of any nba player . Jordan , Pip , and Dennis were the best dio plus Phil Jackson as the coach . Jordan and the Bulls ruined franchises , the knicks , suns , jazz , pacers , and other from getting a ring.
You can have the Westbrooks, the Kyries and the Roses, but I will always look at Steve Nash as the best pure point guard in the NBA. It doesn't matter how old he is, Nash will always be my personal favourite. - Heat Fan
Just to get this out there, soccer does help you in basketball. Because in soccer you pass the ball to the gaps in the defense then it is the other players job to get the ball. Soccer gives you the ability to see these gaps. As a basketball player, it is easier to pass the ball since you are using your hands. That is why Nash is such a great passer
Here are the teams that circulates the Finals in West Conference since 1999 1.) Lakers (7) 2.) Spurs (6) 3.) Mavs (2) ...OKC made it one time. The combination of Steve Nash and Stoudemire is one of the highlights of his Phoenix Suns years but deep inside me, he shouldn't have left Dallas, I hope Cuban regrets that (whoever's fault is it). Dirk Nowitzki reached the Finals 2 times and won 1-1 and continue to compete in the West conference while Nash never reached the Finals but continues to bring the Suns as a contender in the tough West Conf during his stay. Just imagine if he stayed in Dallas, Nash and Nowitzki could have won atleast 2 championships (or more) and a multiple Finals appearance. Dallas didn't have a great point guard when Nash left (Except Kidd who came after his prime but still good.) Cuban is a great owner and have done a great job with the Mavs but I think taking out Nash and not keeping his 2011 champioship team is a mistake, Tyson Chandler really compliment Dirks playing style. I think he knows the mistake since he's bringing back T. Chandler this 2014-2015 season and he did a great job at signing Chandler Parsons. Parsons is a really good all-around player who has a potential to be an All-Star and great recruiter, he did a great job recruiting D. Howard at Houston. Now Howard is stuck in Houston since they took out Jeremy Lin and Parsons.
First time I ever saw him play or heard of him, I asked my boyfriend "who is that little guy? He's amazing". But you're right, he's only "little" in comparison to the 6'9" behemoths.
this top 10 didn't do him justice. At least two of these passes are basically handoffs like the commentator said, doesn't take much skill to do that. He's had many assists more impressive than that.
My favorite basketball player ever Steve Nash, thu first time I heard about Steve Nash I didn't know he played soccer and he skateboarded to I don't know now what he does for fun but he's a great one.
If you're saying that Kobe was a much better player that season then I agree. However, the award is for the most valuable player. Not the best player in the league.
and last year lebron deserved it, cuz let me be clear mvp stands for more valuable to ur team not best stats which is what most people think, in that case give 11 mvps to lebron for every season he has played since he almost literally did EVERYTHING for his team
10,000 Assists... Video is great... I could watch these highlights for hours... Greatest Canadian Basketball man since Dr James Naismith. To be that small and be MVP twice is crazy! The best PG ever! I still watch all his basketball videos and I'm a GIRL... Thanks for the video!!!
Effective coaching makes this possible. D'Antoni coached the players to stay in their spots or rotate in certain ways. Nash knew where all of his teammates were. Look again at the corner 3s. They're waiting for the ball. Once I saw Nash throw a blind pass to the corner and there was nobody there. He was furious. He was like Tom Brady when a receiver blows a route.
Nikson Kho But you need to realize that Nasg wanted to play, he wanted to give his 110% but he can't because he is too old and gets injured, he was excited, but he won't play never again, he was a pleasure to watch
A.R.S Moves of course. but let's be real, all he's doing now is getting the rest of the money LA owes him. and while his injuries are unfortunate, it doesn't change the fact he's done nothing for the Lakers, whether he wanted/wants to play or not
I'll agree with you on that because it's not hard being the best Canadian nhl player when at the time over 50% of the nhl was Canadian but to excel at a sport where he not only was the best Canadian he was also hall of fame worthy in a sports when you can count the number of Canadian basketball players on your fingers... He'll other than Nash we still only have wiggins to keep Canada's name in the sport
Remember when the NBA was fun? I remember. I fell in love with basketball during the Seven Seconds or Less era. I hope it makes a comeback, but I don't hold much hope given the current generation of NBA players.

Thank you Steve Nash for all the memories. Ring or no ring, HOF for sure.
It is so sad to see him retire.
Dime Yes it is very sad but what team do you think he would play for now?
Minecraft Guy1974 I wouldn't care. I would just want to see him play.
2 time mvp is better than a ring imo
Sure is
Now this is a true point guard, making everybody better on and off the court
Fact
True true and true....
@MUFC oh shut up
That's the definition of a point guard for me
@MUFC don't care, soccer is boring... Nba for me
These passes are amazing no doubt, but the GENIUS of Nash was the way he got defenders to run into their own teammates as screens.
Magic Johnson dishes out assists that make you say "Wow"
Steve Nash dishes out assists that make you say "WTF?!"
Everytime!
+A Ciraco Honest to God, after that last two assists in the #1 and #2 spots, I was simply left saying that, "What the fuck?", and scrolled down to the comments just to see if anyone else was left saying that, "What the fuck?"
Lmao hell yeah.
Look up Magic Johnson Magic Man on ytube. You'll say WTF a few times.
A Ciraco steve nash and jason Williams every time
Man, with Nash being hurt so much the past 3 years you almost forget how awesome of a passer he is. Respect!
Nash being retired for years now makes you forget how awesome of a passer he is
@@truehistory8440 lol
His assists are like magic tricks, after you you see it you need a moment to realize what happened.
I don't need a moment, I need slo-mo two or three times to see it.
He and the white chocolate have the fastest and original thinking while pleying. Their passes are incredible!
very sad that this man never won a ring
THE GOAT PASSER. Top 5-10 PG of all time. Don't care about the ring argument. He's clutch, efficient, selfless, total team player, effortless passes, high bball iq.

Illustrious......haha
Chris Gautier Two MVPs, 8 times All Star, 4 times member of the 50-40-90 club, not bad ;)
Great
Damn I wish that he'd have got a ring.
We will miss you Steve Nash.
I had to wait until they showed the highlight to see what actually happened
One of the most enjoyable highlight reels by a player ever
Happy Birthday Steve Nash! You'll always be my favorite point guard and Suns player.
probably we will never see that guy play in a nba game again, i will miss you steve...
my tears are stained with pillows steve!
Peter Phinney what?
It's official now. He's retired
NBANewGeneration why would he play in the nba again? or are you trying to say that we will never see a player like him again?
Well now you have Trae Young. He’s basically the new Steve Nash
Nash + staudemire. One of the most under appreciated duos in NBA history. Fr that pick n roll was unstoppable
This guy is just pure talent and there will only be one like him ever in existence
magic johnson and larry bird had superior passing ability imo but nash is amazing
You will never see this type of basketball again. All of the good young pgs have fell in love with scoring instead of distributing.
Its24x Thats just false
Anthony no its true
Based on what? Sure the newer generation of point guards seems to only care about scoring because that's what gets attention or their team may need them to be scorers first but Curry, Irving, Wall, Rondo, Lawson, Teague, Westbrook, Rubio, Lillard and many more are all gifted and willing passers.
Anthony Lol at you listing Teague, Lillard and esspecially Mr. BallHog Kyrie Irving, I'll let Westbrook pass because for as of late he has been a nice two way PG for the past somewhat 2 seasons but he still hogs the ball but other then that i cant believe you listed Irving lmao do you even watch the NBA?
Its24x i agree with you somewhat, but steph curry is a young steve nash. westbrook, lillard, irving etc. all those guys prefer to score but theres still some guys who'd rather see their teammates score like chris paul and steph
It's just sad to see him go without a ring. If only Nash was paired with somebody like Kobe in their primes. Coulda been so much more.
would've been nearly unstoppable...
He needed more of a Kevin Garnett/Tim Duncan than Kobe though. Stoudemire despite his super star performance with the Suns, was no rebounder or defender.
Sarver screwed the team so bad.
I'm a Heat fan but I've always been a fan of Nash. I wish he could win a championship, he's one of the hardest working players out there.
I do miss watching the Spurs v. Suns rivalry in the Playoffs... Fun times.
number 3 was the best assist ive ever seen
I thought 10 was
yeah. he parted the defense with that move thomas didnt have to do shit. they got froze so badly a flamethrower wouldnt thaw them out
do you know Jason Williams ?
Yea 3 and 4 are the smart killers
who is number one ?
Reminiscing with my favorite player in history. Great memories growing up watching Steve Nash play. Miss those days hard
steve & amare were one of the best duo's to watch,sad how their career's are ending.steve with age and amare with injury. steve will always be my fav player of all time.
Yes, cause I pick up the ball with my hands and pass it all the time when I play soccer
lol.
Dennis Urizar they were talking about the step overs he did
LMAO 😂
If Nash came to the knicks and carmelo got traded, he and Amare would dominate again
Carmelo is a ballhog. I really hate that guy.
In 2021, I'm sure Nash will get his Championship
Nash is coach of nets and nets lost to bucks in game 7 lol
It was always very nice to see Nash play one of my favorites , thanks 4 the great memories!
Thank you Steve! You were my inspiration playing basketball! One of the greatest that ever played the game
How the fuck does he get so much torque and power into his weird ass passes dude. And how the fuck is it that accurate especially if he's not looking, like jeez man
Steve Nash - the only player in NBA history who could destroy two separate defenses every time he stepped on the floor.
Nash is making stoudemire look good :D
Sweetluck he was good!
Nash arguably had one of the greatest 2-3 year stretch a point guard has ever had. boy he was fun to watch
His play is absolutely a gorgeous masterpiece, smooth and natural, looks so mild but also so dangerous.
This dude had anything BUT tunnel vision.
no wonder Nash is one of the best athletes in Canada ..great player with great ability of assist and shot accuracy
Nash was a pretty good passer, I wouldn't exactly say hes a pass first player though. More of a dunker in my opinion.
Lame
This is like my 100th time watching this vid. I know you wont ever see this but still Thank you Nash. Thank you for the fun and amazing moments that you shared with us. You will forever be my #1 favorite.
This is the best top 10 I've watched. I just loved every bit of it.
Steve Nash knows basketball better than basketball knows himself
Nash and Stoudemire had an amazing chemistry
If you know football (soccer if your american) he's the iniesta of basketball
Lol that's actually true
Iniesta or Ozil 😂
Rusdy Razak Iniesta all the way. Man was magnificent in his prime
DOZE CRUDE ozil I think
Iniesta never was known for shooting though guys. For somebody who shot 50 40 90 for 3 seasons I'd say this man is more like a Ronaldino with a longer prime and a little less flair.
Such an incredible player. Not very athletic, or strong, or tall, but has the most unbelievable skill and talent and literally made the suns competitors by himself.
such phenomenal timing, creativity, and precision.
When I did Passes like this, I got bench. Coach said I was wild and nobody knows when I'm passing which is why they drop some many passes. This is why I loved Nash, he made it work.
+Andre Moxey communication and practice with your team. Easy solution.
MY all time favorite Point Guard. hell of a career
Nash has always been my favorite point guard of all time. Love it when he was at the suns. This guy can definitely turn nothing into something.
The #3 is really should be number 1. That setup was beautiful and made it look so easy.
He may not be considered the best point guard of all time (at least I consider him the best and my favorite player) but no one can deny that he is the most artistic and unique passer of all time. His assist are beyond awesome
Why is it point guards like nash and Stockton were never able to win atleast one championship? (I know nash is still playing but very unlikely the lakers will make it to the finals.)
well to put it simply there is always one very dominant player who can do it all and is surrounded by pretty good players. i.e. Jordan or Kobe.
austin wright I thought of that too after I commented. Still woulda like to seen both get one.
Rondo won one, but he had a well-rounded teammate in Pierce, one of the best forwards of all time in KG, and a sharp shooter Ray Allen.
BasketballStud99 Nash - a combo of 2 things. 1 - poor defense. 2- the other superstar on the team was also a poor defender. You can win a title with a top guy who is a lousy defender, but not if BOTH of your top 2 guys are lousy defenders (the lone exception - the 1988 Lakers) .

On that last one Zo said "Gimme that shit!!!"
Nash be like, "Go get it son!!!" Hahaha
Must have been so fun to play with him
I love how he just casually dribbles the ball down low, in no hurry to make his moves
How I wish we had acquired him when he was still playing like this. Happy 40th, one of the purest PG and shooter this game has ever seen.
#2 was sick. Damn.
As a suns fan this makes me miss the glory days god damn
If you know about football, Alex Del Piero is his idol. No kidding. Alex used to go to see the suns and he always wore a Nash jersey withe No. 10.
You mean Alessandro Del Piero?

The master of the hand over.
He should be a guest player for the Globetrotters.
People say "can you imagine if Nash played defense like Stockton"? I say, "can you imagine if Stockton could shoot like Nash"?
Stockton can shoot.
Growing up a point guard he was always my idol. Much love steve nash!
2:07 this move is prettiest and smoothest pass I’ve ever seen
very sad that this man never won a ring
I see it comin to him as some sort of coach..... I hope lol.
He was gonna in 2007 but the spurs decided to play dirty.

Here are the teams that circulates the Finals in West Conference since 1999
1.) Lakers (7)
2.) Spurs (6)
3.) Mavs (2)
...OKC made it one time.
The combination of Steve Nash and Stoudemire is one of the highlights of his Phoenix Suns years but deep inside me, he shouldn't have left Dallas, I hope Cuban regrets that (whoever's fault is it).

These comment take forever to read man XD jk
nash and nowitzki talk about that in one of the grantland videos. I suggeszt you go see their take
Exactly if Dirk had a better, solid PASSING point guard the the Dallas would have had more than one Championships
Nick Leenox do you know about a guy named jason kidd?
***** i dont like the mavs but after bclippers in my opinion they are the favorite to go to the finals vs cavs
This video barely does him justice. How are there no clips from when he was on Dallas?
wtf is the commentator on when he says nash used a soccer move @ 1:58?? Since when do soccer players use their hands? lol
maybe he was supposed to say football (American) but got it messed up in his mind?
maybe cause the ball was rolling around? idk
steve nash use to play soccer before he join NBA
The way he & Stoudemire used to work the pick & roll was amazing back in the day.
until now he's still my favorite player! Miss him in Phoenix
He looks like a 5"7 guy among a load of 6"+ guys.. when in reality he's 6"3 himself.
First time I ever saw him play or heard of him, I asked my boyfriend "who is that little guy? He's amazing". But you're right, he's only "little" in comparison to the 6'9" behemoths.
I think this man has six eyes. Two in his face, two at the back of his head and one in each of his hand...
this top 10 didn't do him justice. At least two of these passes are basically handoffs like the commentator said, doesn't take much skill to do that. He's had many assists more impressive than that.

How about Metta World Peace?

My gum would last more than you.
he's great, but the 2006 MVP was Kobe.
If you're saying that Kobe was a much better player that season then I agree. However, the award is for the most valuable player. Not the best player in the league.
Yeah and the 2007 season which dirk got
i think u mean shaq
just kidding, ur right kobe deserved it
and last year lebron deserved it, cuz let me be clear mvp stands for more valuable to ur team not best stats which is what most people think, in that case give 11 mvps to lebron for every season he has played since he almost literally did EVERYTHING for his team
Thank you Steve Nash...You always be my idol in basketball
best assists in NBA Thanks for the entertainment. STEVE NASH Retired 2014
hax
pak u all
Kuroko, is that you?
["Comment" is assisted by Steve Nash]
Steve Nash is the 1 to me! So many years, and still I Go "what the f" everytime I watch his plays . He'll always be my favorite player !
10,000 Assists...
Video is great...
I could watch these highlights for hours...
Greatest Canadian Basketball man since Dr James Naismith.
To be that small and be MVP twice is crazy!
The best PG ever! I still watch all his basketball videos and I'm a GIRL...
Thanks for the video!!!
#3 was the best
i agree. whenever i think of steve nash, i think of that play
Nash, rondo, and jason williams are the best passers in history
Magic??
Stockton?
can make an argument for chris paul?
Include magic there too. Also zeke is a good passer
Jason kidd?
sad his career is probably over now
Effective coaching makes this possible. D'Antoni coached the players to stay in their spots or rotate in certain ways. Nash knew where all of his teammates were. Look again at the corner 3s. They're waiting for the ball.
Once I saw Nash throw a blind pass to the corner and there was nobody there. He was furious. He was like Tom Brady when a receiver blows a route.
most of them were against my lakers... one of the greatest passers in NBA history, if not the greatest.... RESPECT 👌👌👌
thus guy looks so short but google says he is 1.90 ,, really?
Yeah haha he looks short just because he's playing with guys who are all even taller than that
6'3 1.91
Kuroko = Steve Nash
And some laker fans still Don't gibe him enough respect
I would love to see Nash and Kobe playing together when they were both a couple years younger.
i'm sure most of us give him respect that's due. it's just that we don't respect what he's done for the Lakers (which is... nothing)
Nikson Kho But you need to realize that Nasg wanted to play, he wanted to give his 110% but he can't because he is too old and gets injured, he was excited, but he won't play never again, he was a pleasure to watch
A.R.S Moves of course. but let's be real, all he's doing now is getting the rest of the money LA owes him. and while his injuries are unfortunate, it doesn't change the fact he's done nothing for the Lakers, whether he wanted/wants to play or not
Nikson Kho Yes but it ain't Nash's fault, or is it, if it was for him he would play while taking the money
My favorite player all time
LEGEND! By far my favorite player.
Steve Nash>Wayne Gretzky
I'll agree with you on that because it's not hard being the best Canadian nhl player when at the time over 50% of the nhl was Canadian but to excel at a sport where he not only was the best Canadian he was also hall of fame worthy in a sports when you can count the number of Canadian basketball players on your fingers... He'll other than Nash we still only have wiggins to keep Canada's name in the sport
Steve Nash's assist to viewers are like white people showing magic tricks to black people in the hood lol
That wasn't funny
hahahaha..... NO
these are not even remotely his 10 best career assists
Favorite PG of all time, so pure
Remember when the NBA was fun? I remember. I fell in love with basketball during the Seven Seconds or Less era. I hope it makes a comeback, but I don't hold much hope given the current generation of NBA players.
