He hasnt had an amazing career, but he's won two MVPs putting him with some very exclusive company. Where do you rank him?
Definatly top 15 but not top 10, he hasn't done it long enough for me to put him ahead of other players, 2 MVP's or not.
How is he not Top 10?-Magic Johnson-John Stockton-Gary Payton-Jason Kidd-Isaih Thomas-Oscar Robertson-Steve NashThat's 7 PGs right there, and you probably won't find 4 better than Nash. Even if you add in Bob Cousy, Tiny, Kevin Johnson, you can't take Nash from that list.
I would put him late in the top 25 players ever, I honestly can't see him in the top 10, lots of better players that have had their time in the NBA. He's known alot for the same things Jason Kidd is, however not as acclaimed. I would say that he is the poor-man's Jkidd.

Steve Nash is top 15 maybe. Top 10 in no order are:- Stockton- Magic- Kevin Johnson- Tiny- Frazier- West- Isiah- Cousy- Payton- Big O
Overall, top 15 for sure.But focusing just on offence, I might even put him top 5 if I'm nice. Top 10 in offence for sure.by the time he's done his career I dont think he will change. He's over 30 and playing his best basketball, and didnt get a chance to run a team until he was on the suns.

Steve Nash is the definition of a true PG, and much better then Jason Kidd. If anything Nash is a poor mans Magic Johnson.

Also Primetime, Steve Nash is known for his unselfishness more than his ability to make his team better which he does have that quaility just not to Jkidd's extent IMO.
Yeah I wouldnt have him in the top 10 yet. I mean hes a good pg but hes only been considered great for 2 seasons now. he needs to continue playing like he is and keep making players around him better.
I wouldn't put him in the top 10 just yet, but if he keeps playing like he is now for more years to come, i will put him in the top ten.
