Thread: Steve Nash announces retirement

Nash didn't style on my team. He's just an overrated guy who we care about because he's white and we ignore that his statistics are just massively inflated.

You're way wrong here dude. Like, Falco being wrong about Tebow wrong.

How can points scored and assists be massively inflated? They are what they are. It had to have happened.

He got his stats in the only era in which he could have played in and excelled in.

from article:

On the basketball court, Steve Nash was a transcendent talent who revolutionized modern point guard play, and for that reason alone, his illustrious career deserves to be celebrated.

Arguably the most electric distributor and steady three-point shooter of his generation, Nash's game was defined by an unmatched blend of grace, elegance and composure.

"The breadth of his career is mind-boggling in its scope, though, which is why Nash actually has just as many pages devoted to his bio in the Lakers’ 2014-15 media guide as Kobe Bryant, likewise a product of that 1996 NBA draft," Bleacher Report's Kevin Ding wrote.

So players who are excelling now would not have excelled before?

Please, he was a scrappy white guy who didn't have the physical ability to play in any era sans of the softest. That's just fanboy articles. Put him in the 90's and he gets killed. Put him in the 80's and he gets killed. He wasn't a warrior like Isiah Thomas, and he wasn't tough like Stockton. I grew up watching Nash break down at the end of the season as well as flopping in the playoffs.

Not all of them.

How is that his fault? He didn't pick when he was born or what era he played. He played when he played and for a long time he was one of the best point guards around.
