Man Nash was so influential for the future generation and played ahead of his time with the “7 seconds or less” Suns

[@igethighhighhigh]

Two mvps and still underrated, even tho he stole one from kob 😌🐍😂

Nash is my all time fav player. I’m still trying to figure out how ALL of his highlights are in 240-360p, while other players in the same era have HD highlights. Suns video department cheap or something? Lol. Jordans highlights are 10-20 years earlier and filmed in crisp 1080p LOL.

[@jashardwallington]

They be hatin on steve nash

[@versatillion15]

Possibly because not a lot of his games were televised?

[@ByAnyMeansBasketball]

Hey 21 facts 😂

[@user-360johnn]

Some of jordan’s game used film to record instead of digital cameras, and film has good quality but takes up too much storage

[@nostalgicbliss5547]

@@versatillion15 The Suns were always on TNT, ESPN and ABC from 2005-2010. They were by far the most exciting team to watch from like 2005-2007. They def got a lot of national coverage in that era.

[@ReconciledByFaith]

Most in-depth analysis of Nash I've seen, great job. I really appreciated the insight on how long he would hold the ball in his hand. I think you're right, it wasn't just a function of how he liked to dribble to get by guys by because he wanted to be able to pass and shoot quickly. I think part of the reason he stayed so upright was because of his soccer background; those guys don't get low and they learn to accelerate and change directions while staying upright. It also made it easier for him to stay in control with backup options since the forward lean can force you to commit more to the drive.

[@jakeroberts5899]

That and probably his scoliosis

[@theartofcompetition5965]

yah it made me realize thats why i shoot poor when im playing super aggro. because im not upright im like near shoulder to the floor. im not pulling up hard enough i guess.

[@krisharkleroad8]

​@jakeroberts5899 he did not have scoliosis. He had a spondylolisthesis.

[@102006221]

Elegant. Maestro. That suit Nash the most. On his days, He see every single movement(vision) on the court. Pirlo of Basketball world.

[@yaomang08]

Hell yeah Nash is awesome, I somewhat copy his hesitate explode or shoot and it definitely freezes the defender

[@marcochen9117]

i know its a far shot and there might be not enough footage but could you cover how rodman defends and rebounds? I think everyone that is on the smaller side, from bigs to even guards can definitely use some of the skills of the worm.

[@pesky19]

i second this

[@brownfood5365]

Rodman's rebounding is more just practice and hussle. It's just natural. Rodman defense is a good idea tho.

[@versatillion15]

You gotta have heart bud that’s about it. That & a lot of lower body strength

[@pesky19]

@@brownfood5365 it's definitely skill, his positioning and vision on where the ball sould go

[@RennWickam]

@@versatillion15 you need to have the heart and lower body strength to be able to do what Rodman did, but a whole lot of skill. He's gone on the record saying he would practice rebounding, boxing out and throwing outlet passes when other guys would practice their offensive skills. He would watch film on his teammates and opponents to see how their shots usually missed and where the flaws were in their box-out technique to pick it apart. Jordan said himself that he's one of the smartest basketball minds he knows, but his unique personality often clouds it. Watch Rodman talk about basketball in Detail and it's evident how much he knows when he's locked in and not spouting off about Kim Jong Un or something

[@fea1990]

One thing when people talk about the pick and roll game that I feel is not highlighted enough is the ability to shoot. His ability to shoot allows him to get these kind of looks and coverages. It is much much harder to be an effective pick and roll guard when you are not an immediate threat to shoot off the screen. Without the ability to shoot coaches need to be more creative to get the same advantage in the pick and roll

[@elitesmartathletes]

Nash is embodiment of less is more 💎

[@nymphaesgana9441]

Steve nash perfect the hip swivel. My son’s all time favorite Point Guard

[@jason3632]

God bless you bro I pray that God continues to provide you with the knowledge and gift of speaking that you have keep working hard and pushing out videos and programs like these much love

[@micahbrown9868]

How Nash manages to handle the ball while dealing with his hair in his face (as well as adjusting it) is beyond me.

[@MarsRacingNetwork]

As someone who has long hair and plays,it’s actually really annoying.I usually tie it up,but idk how his hair stays the way it does

[@kirbystarwell3701]

Im a huge Lebron fan but Nash introduced me to basketball. He's just fluid motion and his IQ on offense and passing (Pick and roll) was very very very impressive.

[@torosloan22]

One of the best basketball breakdowns I have seen. Thanks for sharing.

[@jadmichaelmurray]

First time watching one of your videos, so educational and analytical - exactly how i like to view the game! subbed and keen for the next video!

[@lmkm-z4h]

Hey man, first of all great vid. I was wondering if you could do a video about mobility required for basketball, as I noticed u mentioned it in some of your previous videos, hip mobility to be specific. Keep up the good work!!💯🤙🏽

[@krisharkleroad8]

Announcers would constantly say he wasn't looking for a shot, and as their saying it makes a shot. Interesting points about his high dribble and his ability to control the ball away from his body. Did Steve have big hands? I know Stockton could palm the ball off a dribble. Nash was very crafty and I think he is an underrated offensive player. If he played now, he would be taking many more 3's. He was so efficient. My favorite player to watch.

[@yunan9610]

Had he shoots more threes instead of those midranges, he could have 20+ppg season

[@ahmetturgut6131]

How can anybody dislike this great video🤷‍♂️. Now u know why it looks like a walk in the park for Nash. So much wisdom, skill and effort put in to look effortless:) One of the best poing guards ever (in offense:))

[@willhooke]

I think in part you answered why Nash dribbles high ~ it increases his ball in hand time per distance travelled Giving him more time to execute all the you mentioned ⌚

[@dv3347]

Heck of a breakdown here. The small details you expressed .... good stuff.

[@Bundini214]

Any way we can get a video about THE Tony Parker???

You mean Ason Kidd. He had no "J". Shot 40.0% for his career. That's horrible.

Great vid! Nash was my favorite growing up

[@youtrick5097]

Always enjoy nash passing incredible

[@joshwhalen17]

6:10 Nash's secret sauce was his PnR set up. His driving angle is wide, but look at the angle his on-ball defender has to take to fight over the screen. Space, timing, reading your pick angle and using your defender's momentum against him. Also can't hurt to be a career 43% 3-point shooter.

[@Ryan-gk1bd]

Learned a lot here, thanks!

[@gabrieltrevizo4221]

Is floating the ball a “Carry?” The ball must be on top of the basketball when dribbling right?

Which package would you recommend is overall better, the efficient scorer package or small guard program? (yes I’m a small point guard)

[@ByAnyMeansBasketball]

Ψ KNIGHT Ψ small guard program definitely goes more into depth for players who have the ball in their hands more. Efficient scorer package is more for 2 and 3 guards.
