<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">There are a million things you can say about this game and the writers (at least those on a deadline - not me) probably deleted about five times as many words than ended up in their final recaps. For this particular column, I want to focus on the point guards, because really, everyone else faded into the background on this night. They're two best point guards in the league. No questions asked. Now, I love that we've got some great young floor leaders coming up. I'm a big fan of Chris Paul and Deron Williams, and I think Shaun Livingston has freakish potential, but I'm not nearly ready to give any of them the edge over Steve Nash or Jason Kidd. </div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Sidenote: In this writer's opinion, Kidd was robbed of the MVP award in '02</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Go ahead, take a look at the play-by-play. These guys went back and forth all night, 58 minutes of high-speed hoops. The Suns always want you playing at their pace. On this night, the Nets said, "Sure, why not? No. 5 ain't so bad at pushing the ball." </div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"He came up and congratulated me on the triple-double," Kidd said after the game. "He said, 'You have 77 more than I do.'" Nash ain't perfect. His math is a little off. He has three career triple-doubles, 75 less than Kidd. </div> Source <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> I drove home after all of the postgame chatter, and after posting this and before writing this (what you're reading right now), I filled out an All-Star ballot. It didn't matter who the other eight names were. I only care that Steve Nash and Jason Kidd get to Vegas. Seriously, these guys should start every All-Star or exhibition game (take note Eduardo Najera, Alonzo Mourning and all you other summer charity gamers) until they retire... and then for the next few years after that. Give these guys the ball, surround them with eight athletes, sit back and enjoy. </div> They better vote for Kidd. I took out some of the text but I would suggest reading this article especially if you missed the game. Edit- Screwed up on the title a little. Ah well, who cares?
It's nice to see that they respect each other. Last night's game could have been the game of the year.
