This si about Nash.
Not Smush or Brian Cook I mean at least Smush is a PG but Cook is a PF who cares about Cook.
I was just using them as examples... just because they take Chargers and get Steals by the bunches doesn't mean they're any good defenders... which is the arguement about Nash's defense, like I said he is a good help-defender, but when he's left on an island with anyone that has a decent game, you better hope you get some help.

Yeah, luckily defense is about the team.. sure Nash can't guard a lot of guys by himself, but the way he helps out makes him a way better defender than people give him credit for.

Tie for Oscar Robinson and Kidd to who gets the bench. And how long is the voting gonna last? I think next vote for Kidd or Robinson should seal it and have Magic start and Kidd or Oscar off the bench.

He got 4 1st place votes, instead of Kidds 4 2nd place votes.

I hope we can get some modern players, because the game was just so different back in the day.

Nash is a good help-defender always acknowledged that, but his one on one man up d' sucks.

Steals, blocks, charges, they're nice. Brian Cook always takes a lot of charges, and Smush Parker can rack up steals night in and night out but that's all it is, they're huge liabilities on defense.
That's what i meant his one on one d is sorry.

What can you say about a man who played every position, who was "Showtime", and has 5 rings to show for his amazing talents. Not to mention the fact that he has won a championship at every level: High school, college, the NBA, and even a gold medal in the Olympics. Magic Johnson has done it all! John Stockton comes 2nd only to Magic. He wasn't flashy, but simply got the job done. I just sorry he never got a ring. That is the only thing missing from this All-Time leader in assists & steals resume'.
