Look at the first game of the Suns Clips. Could the Clippers play any better?
Nash made the Suns look like that. Penetrated, gave himself and everyone on his team fucking layups.
LAYUPS in a playoff game. WTF. Oh but it is all Marion.
You must be joking. Nash was there for game two and some Suns were ignoring all basketball fundamentals...blocking out. I saw House just watch his player walk in front of him after a Clips shot only to watch him gather the rebound and score.
The fact that the team rebounded like a motherfucker has everything to do with the respect they have for Nash and the knowlege that they let a guy down who would do anything to make them look good. Say what you will, but every championship team needs this committment and teamwork; mutual respect.
Nash has instilled this culture and character...that is why they came back from 3-1 down to the Lakers.
BTW, didn't you almost call that Pojo...maybe you are a genius

I've seen plenty of other players in this league...this year...score bunches of inside shots...
hell...how many layups did Shaq get his MVP year because of Kobe? That alone gets you an MVP?
And he does that every game? Nope...and don't tell me he does. Marion creates shots as much or more than Nash...like I said...they share the load...Nash just gets credit for it...
and now you are telling me THEY REBOUND BECAUSE OF THEIR RESPECT OF NASH...
dude...that sounds flat out foolish now...and if you are insinuating that Nash blocks out now...and...heaven forbid...plays D of any sort...that's just not true...
Nash is not the only one that creates that team's mutual respect...it's the fucking respect you gain as a team that feels like an underdog...period...does Nash...have something to do with it? Yep...does Marion...are you saying no? You think those suns don't respect him JUST AS MUCH? YOU DON'T THINK THAT THE QUIET LEADER FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS JUST...STEPS ASIDE? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA...nope...
Dude...I AM a genius...believe it...
and I may have said that Phoenix would come back and win...but I think there were a lot of people that could see LA not hold onto that momentum...
and yeah...he was MVP in their poll...
Here...I interviewed Dan Marino once for my local newspaper...on the phone...I asked him who he thought was the best cornerback in the league...and he said, "Off the record, Lester Hayes...but don't say that because I don't want to fire him up in any way...On the record...they are all good."
My point...they never pick who they really think...in case it will hurt them down the road...
