case #26 for why it could happen...anyone heard from Tim Thomas lately? The hero of game six against the lakers last year has done nada once leaving the perfect passes of Stevie behind...meanwhile, the Suns are on their second double digit win streak and have won 28 of their last 31 games...is there a player since Magic who makes his teammates better than does our favorite Canadian (sorry, Kids in the Hall and Joni Mitchell)...

I don't think there's a player in history who makes his teammates better. Stockton made Malone better and that's about it.
whatabout william shatner?

Nash has really risensince going to the Suns and I don't understand why this didn't happen in the Mavs. Obviously Nash decided to do something great and realised that this team was his to mold and he has done it like not many before him. He still hasn't won a championship but just one would certify him as a Hall of Famer

Yeah, he's a Hall of Famer already... but he still lacks the title(s) to be considered one of the best ever. (Don't bash me for that. You know it's true. The general fan remembers all Jordan, Bird and Magic did, but will soon forget about Nash if he doesn't win a title. It's not fair, but that's how it works). |

But a championship would make him an alltime great, say top 40-50 player that can be called a winner as well migya make the ring fall on ya |

If he gets another MVP period he will be in the top 50 all time... He might be in it now... |

agreed. 3 MVPs and it'll be hard to keep him out of the top 50 all time. 3 MVPs and a ring probably will give him a trip to the top 30 but it stops there |

even Simmons and Hollinger, the 2 biggest Nash naysyaers the past 2 years are now on the bandwagon. Simmons pointed out the Suns are 2 squeakers away from a 29 game winning streak! As it is, they are 27-2 lately...the only thing is they are not majorly deep, and a Nash injury stops the show. Without Nash they are a 50 win team at best, with him, mid to high 60s.

It's weird... but Dirk developed as Dallas' main player once Nash left the team. Guess sometimes a change of scenery is needed by both sides. |

It is much better when a great team has a rival (see celtics-lakers) as opposed to one team dominance (ala the bulls) so I am glad that the Mavs and Suns are both tearing up the league with such differing styles...does anyone doubt that the real final will be the western conference one?

Yeah, I just don't think the Mavs will be there. Even tho they're playing great right now, I still have the Spurs (maybe the Nuggets, too, but not until AI and Melo show they can play together) over them. |
