[FKAri]

Nash da Gawd

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Excellent post, future repped.

Steve Nash being top-3 in every FG% category doesn't surprise me, I think he's underrated as a shooting PG. Crazy career efficiency numbers but he gets overlooked far too often (49/42.8/90.4). One of my all-time favorite players.

Steph's corner 3PT%

[Im Still Ballin]

Nash is a better shooter than Curry

[RRR3]

Should I do one of these for the top PFs and Cs since 2000-01?

Yes please.

[RRR3]

Anyone else notice John Wall takes highest percentage of long twos amongst those listed but has the lowest conversion rate?


@24 inch chrome,

Okay probably in a few days. I'm traveling tomorrow.

[Spurs m8]

Nash is shit.

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Nash is shit.

[Fire Colangelo]

Holy jesus Wall.

[warriorfan]

Nice shot selection Wall.......




Alpha Male Curry is incredible.

[raiderfan19]

Should I do one of these for the top PFs and Cs since 2000-01?

sure. the midrange shooting numbers will actually be higher than any other position

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Nash = GOAT offensive PG.

Look at that ****ing 3pt% and % of 3pters assisted. Name me one thing he wasn't very good at, if not great, as an offensive player.

He's so underrated as a shooter, the guy doesn't get mentioned nearly as much as he should be. I always hear something along the lines of 'he only takes easy shots'...as if passing when he doesn't have a good look is a bad thing, especially for a point guard.
