[@samhartje723]

When you really think about it, Nash is statistically a top 2 playmaker of all time, the best free throw shooter , and has an argument for the second or third best shooter of all time. If only he played today where he’s shooting like 11 threes a game and running a modern day offense, he would probably be a top 3 pg of all time.

[@jingqi9106]

Nash is arguably the greatest combo of shooting and passing the game has ever seen. He is the only player to ever shoot 50% from 2, 40% from 3, and 90% from the line more than twice and he did it 4 times!!! His passing skills were sublime and made that prolific Suns offense great. 💪🔥

He should have been in this era with more fluid offenses and a boatload of 3-D guys and centers/big men that can shoot. Imagine him with Embiid. Harden who is a worse shooter and passer has 10 assists this year with Embiid. He made a roll-man average of almost 30 points imagine what he could do with today's incredible All star centers and PFs. He would be appreciated way more than iso-scoring shot chuckers. The Denver Nuggets took significantly more 3s with almost the same true shooting% as Nash's Suns did the years they went to the Finals.
