The 3rd wheel of the Duncan/Shaq era in Boston but don't let that fooi you. He can play. After starting his career in Phenoix and, like 90% of his players, being traded by Skillz after 2 seasons he joined the big 2 in Boston. The fit was automatic, as Nash put up his first of 3 straight 20/10 seasons. In his second season, he won his second title (the first being with the Suns 2 seasons before). After Nash's 3rd season in Boston, his decline became apparent. His scoring went down the next 2 seasons (20.7 and 19.9) and his assists follow suit (9.6 and 9.3). Nash was then sent to Chicago to play with the Bulls and joined Kobe Bryant in the back court. Nash spent 2 fairly injury prone seasons in Chicago before returning to Boston and finishing up his career in Beantown. His last season was fairly sub par (12.5 ppg, 8.8 apg, 3 rpg). Obviously Nash will never be known as a defensive player but his ability to score, pass and be an important part of a championship team cannot be overlooked.
