Curry or Nash

[Sgt Brutus]

Steve "The Canadian Bastard" Nash. He just made below average players look spectacular

When exactly did I say that?

You are ridiculously sensitive about any perceived slight against the Warriors.

But, I'll put it like this:

Curry making Draymond, Klay, Iggy better

or

Nash making Jared Dudey, Channing Frye look better

Which one is harder?

When exactly is asking a question being overly sensitive? lol but yeah I agree. I was just asking the question that's all lol

But I think it's more fair to compare speights and Barnes compared to those guys. Not the warriors best players after curry. But I still say nash

Yes and no.

Those guys were his best players for a year or so.

 

[Hambombs]

Yes and no.

Those guys were his best players for a year or so.

What about stoudamire, Marion?

Nash

 

[Robotech]

Yes and no.

Those guys were his best players for a year or so.

The Suns weren't very good those years, IIRC. You can't make chicken salad out of . . .

 

[Logicallylethal]

It's no coincidence that guys like Marion, Stoudemire, and Joe Johnson had their best years with Nash as the starting point guard

Marion shot 44-48 % from the field prior to Nash joining. With Nash he shot 47.6 %, 52 %, and 52 %

Stoudemire shot 47 % his first two years as a Sun. With Nash he shot 56 %, 57 %, 59 %, 54 %, and 55 %.

Joe Johnson shot 46 % fg and 47.8 % from 3pt the one year he played with Nash.


Nash's impact on the offense goes beyond just the numbers he puts up.

You got called overly sensitive by a girl. Better muscle up there Alice.

We haven't yet seen numbers of Curry's running mates without him to compare, but I'm willing to bet he also impacts other's numbers.
Also consider that half the game of basketball is defense and their play has impact there as well.

 

[thunderc]

As much as I liked watching Nash play this is an insult to Curry. The guy that said they are/were equal shooters should be committed.

 

[UK Cowboy]

I'm a huge Nash fan. That said, Curry all day long

 

[lakersrule]

I think people may be overvaluing Curry's defense. He has improved, but it was just last season that Klay was tasked to cover the opponents PGs because Curry couldn't hang with them. I'm not going to argue that Nash was a great defender, but he was adequate in his prime. Nash was very good with his defensive angles and positioning.

As a true PG Steve. As a true athlete Steph. Nash's court vision was unmatched. His ability to get guys wide open looks was amazing. He made a lot of guys rich after they left Phoenix. Curry is an amazing all around athlete with a ridiculous shot. They are completely different players. Curry is shoot first and Nash is pass first. In Nash's prime he was a 20 point 10-15 assist guy with very few turnovers.

They are too hard to compare because they are so different. Personally, I would take either of them.

They're using klay to his strength which is on ball. Currys is great off ball defender ( which klay is not good at) they also use him to have more energy on offense to take over games. Steph is a very good defender and has been defending point guards all season
