If forced to make a call on who's the better player between Nash and KJ i'd have to give Nash the nod.
However,if i'm building a championship team i'm taking KJ over Nash.
I want a PG who can be at least a competent defender, and offensively have the mentality to put pressure on the defensive interior as well as be an outstanding distributor.
AZSteve brought up a good point earlier in reference to Dragic. We really dont know what we've got until he's leading an offense thts built towards his strengths....which this particular offense is not.
Alot of times I think Dragic is BETTER than Nash. Of course it's only in spurts, but it does show sometimes.
I'm not saying dump Nash, hell no. But we do have our PGOF.

I do....and the Spurs would be a fine example. I see Tony Parker and KJ being fairly interchangable, but i dont se Nash co-existing too well playing inside/out ball with Duncan as the focal point. Not to mention that guys who cant defend dont stick around very long in S.A.(see Richard Jefferson).After reading this, I started playing what-if games with previous NBA championships. Off the top of your head, can you think of a previous winner that would still win with KJ that wouldn't likely win with Nash? I honestly couldn't come up with an example for either of them. For example, take out the PG on any of the Spurs championships and I don't see either KJ or Nash changing the outcome.

Dont get me wrong Parker is no juggernaut defensively,but he certainly wasn't near the bottom rung of the defenseless ladder among PG's like Nash.
This is all conjecture speak of course.
Funny you should say that. I'm watching POTA right now. 1968 original of course.Are you telling me you have absolutely no intention of altering history? I say, let's mess with the time-space continuum and find out who's right.

"What will he find out there doctor?"
"His destiny...."
The question is, is there a shooting guard that you would take over KJ or Nash? Why not just use them both?
That applied more to two Shooting Guards than two Point Guards. Size still mattered at the wing.I'm not all that old but when I was growing up, a pair of guards like KJ and Nash wasn't at all uncommon. As many here know, there didn't use to be a distinction between the 2 guard positions. Each of them was expected to set up the offense and/or shoot when appropriate. Of course, back then there was really no distinction between the forward positions either.

The pass at 5:55 was sick, between three Spurs to Warrick..

Thanks for posting that. It was fun to watch. I do think I am comfortable with Dragic inheriting this team from Nash. Hopefully we will be able to keep that scenario in place.
Because that would come at the expense of Steve's minutes and only an injury to Steve would cause that. No disrespect to Nash, but that is the situation.I know, the highlights show me one thing, Dragic can excel in a pick and roll offense with more minutes ... Why doesn't the guy get more minutes!!
