Is Nash another example of the ball-dominant mindset not being high IQ strategy?

Just because Nash had great vision, it doesn't mean he's isn't implementing low IQ strategy (ball-domination).

People said that Nash's strategy with the Nets was pick-up-ball..

[3ba11]

dominance is a team effort. 1 man can't win a war by himself. it takes a collective and a strategy/system with a good floor general that commands respect

The best teams didn't use "floor generals" (ball-dominators)

Ball-dominators are losers on the championship level - Lebron and Magic are 9-10 - if they can't win with the floor general style than no one can

Ultimately, teams with ball-dominators required the most help to win (magic, lebron) , followed by centers (Shaq, Kareem, Russell, Wilt, Duncan), while expert jumpshooters needed the least help to win (MJ, Kobe, Curry, Bird).. Expert jumpshooters win with secondary producers at sidekick like Jason Terry, Lowry, Pau, Wiggins, Klay or Pippen, while ball-dominators need juggernauts like Kareem, Wade or Kyrie and AD plus a super-team

floor generals aren't necessarily assist paddlers. it's just a guy that holds others accountable or anchors the defense. a vocal leader.

the player you're referring to is a team killer

You mean like a clutch DPOY that holds teammates' feet to the fire and commands respect?

got it

or this

Superior skillset that could implement the best strategy and chemistry/teammate elevation, while having all the intangibles = repeating without a top 75 player (needing the least to achieve top team ceiling/Finals record)

look at Lukas 60/20/10 game. it took luck for them to even get to overtime vs a depleted Knicks squad

Whose dup is this?

It's probably Kenny.

On a side note the mods have 3ball shook. Now has to make a LeBron thread while pretending he is talking about Nash.

Yes, actually I disliked Nash back in the day for this reason. He was a ballhog and his creation was always based on his ability to score first.

Nash was probably the first to define the Harden/Westbrook/Luka role of point guards that take advantage of "freedom of movement" rules and the Def-3 seconds to become almost unstoppable.

Nash would not have been able to play as he did with a center in the lane, because then he'd been limited to shooting the mid range and not driving to the cup, which would not have freed up the corner 3. For all intents and purposes, Mark Price was just as good a scoring point guard as Steve Nash, but he was nowhere close to MVP.

D'Antoni and Nash really were pioneers in creating the modern NBA.
