Does Shawn Marion go unappreciated in all the hype of Steve Nash?

no doubt is he an all star player. even though nash opens up open shots for him, he has obviously been the amazing and versatile player he has been. nash is not the one that gets marion the 10+ boards per game, nash does not cover the other teams best scorer, nash does not block the shots for marion. marion is undoubtetly an underappreciated and underrated player in the shadow of steve repeat mvp nash

Here's the thing, Steve Nash is a good basketball player because he has the brains. He knows he is short or lets just say he is undersized for an NBA Player. But because he knows this, he is using this to his advantage. Yes he is a very good passer and is probably 1 of the players I'd put in my team to play for me day in and day out. But its not his shooting and his court vision that makes him stand-out. If you watch him really carefully, you will notice that he is one of the dirtiest players to ever play the game. He pushes, shoves, elbows, head-butts and even trips players. But all this is not being called by the officials because they all think he is the one that is getting beat because of his size. So at the end of the day, its not Shaq who is hard to officiate, its Nash and I salute him for that. Great player not only in skills but also in brains.

I would like to see Kobe be more of a team  player like Nash who passes to his teammates.I know he is the best player on the Lakers,but win a few games more with Kobe as a team player.

Stockton is a HOF player, Nash is not there yet........

No. He takes far too many shots and in no way does he support the team he's on. Give it to Steven Nash again, he's the guy of the decade.

I also think it's a disgrace, especially in light of who they picked ahead of him -- Shane Battier, Gilbert Arenas, Greg Oden (high school kid)?  Give me a break.  While some people may not agree with certain aspects of his personality, nobody can deny that he plays with a whole lot of heart.  Practically, he presents matchup challenges to any team.  While his team didn't get it done last time, D. wade and Lebron James were on the team as well last time, and they both got invites.  AI, future hall of famer, doesn't deserve this snub.

Even though I love the game of Steve Nash, I would have to give a resounding NO! to this one.  Both Nash and T-Mac are injured and have a history of being injured respectively.  While in Dirk you get an all-around player who gives you minutes, points, three points, rebounds, and a handful of assists, steals and blocks.  As for Parker, he is not as spectacular as the other PG's in this game but he is solid for FG%, minutes, points, and the occasional assists, rebounds, and steals.\n\nHope this helps. Good luck this season!\n\nIf you are interested in joining another Yahoo! Fantasy NBA league, I am inviting you and everyone here at Yahoo! Answers. League ID is 218266.  The password is 1234567

Nash has already been chosen. They chose him because he is not only good himself, he makes other players better. The Suns or any of their players would not be as good without Nash.

I definetely enjoyed it but it was not the brand of basketball that you may have seen the night before. And is Nash ever gonna get his stroke back? That harkens me back to watching Steve on the Mavs every night; He was a lot, lot, lot more lethal back then; if only he and Coach D could have met five years earlier

Nash because Kobe is an @$$ and a poor sport besides.\nKobe wouldn't even shake Nash's after the Suns beat the Lakers in the last game of last season. Plus, he broke Mike Bibby's nose last year, or the year before... I don't remember which.

YOU CANNOT PICK STEVE NASH!!  HE IS CANADIAN!\n\n\n\nPoint Guard- Chauncey Billups. He is the whole package. He is anchoring the #1 team this year. he is consistently the top FT shooter in the NBA. His defense is superb and his nickname tells you about pressure situations : " Mr. Big Shot"\n\nShooting Guard- Dwayne Wade. He is unselfish, great player and great person. I take him over Bryant, not because of kis ball skills, but because of his team-manship. This guy is what US basketball should be.\n\nSmall Forward-  Bruce Bowen. This guy can and will shut down whoever he guards. he has proved it every year for the past 5 years that he is the games best defensive player. He doesnt get enough recognition for his defensive skills, and this Dream Team needs someone like him.\n\nPower Forward- Shawn Marion. One of the best players in the NBA. He is dominant in the low post and can hit the oputside shot. He is energetic for all 48 minutes of the game and is dominant on defense.\n\nCenter- Shaq. if he plays. Still  top 5 most feared players. Nobody in the world can be as dominant ask the Diesel.\n\nBench- \n\n1. Lebron James.  He can knock down any shot at any spot on the court. His defense has also improved greatly this year. He has developed his 3 point shot. I feel he is the next Jordan, and who ewouldnt Jordan on the team....\n\n2. Luke Ridnour- great ball handler and great player. Deserves the chance to play for his country.\n\n3. Kobe Brynt. No one like him. He has the best shot in the NBA and his defense has improved greatly this year. \n\n4. Marcus Camby- can be one of the select players who can alter the game with his energy. If hes healthy, i want him on the team\n\n5. Tim Duncan- HAsent proved himself worthy in recent Olympics, but he is still on eo fthe best US players there is.

100% agree with you..! Shaq isn't the dominant player he is because he does it himself--it's because he's a presence and knows when to incorporate his team into the game. He doesn't get the ball and take EVERY shot like a certain SOMEONE I know...! I think it'll hit Kobe when Shaq is hoisting the trophy over his head after beating the Mavs, and Kobe is at home watching, thinking to himself: "DAY-UM!" LoL

If your talking abut floor generals, then yes he is the one of the best along with Nash.\nIf your talking about all the leaders in the NBA, head coaches included. HELL NO

I don't think any one else would agree with me..\n\nBut I have to say Steve Nash again.\n\nHere is why....\n\nThe suns are one of the top teams in the west, and they are missing their number one scorer. \n\nHe makes everyone who plays with him better... Look at the year Raja Bell, and Borris Diaw are having? These guys were nothing before Phoenix.\n\nLook at players like Quentin Richerson since they left the suns. He couldn't suck enough.\n\nThe guy does everything well, game in, and game out, and he makes his whole team better. He is un-shelfish, and doesn't care about his own stat line. \n\nSorry Kobe, but the lakers still suck, sorry Lebron, but your team still sucks, Sorry Allen Iverson but your team still sucks, sorry Tracy Mcgrady but your team still sucks.\n\nThis is all coming from a life long sixers fan.

Most def Steve Nash is gonna win. Look at his numbers. 19 ppg and 11 apg. That's bananas. And look at PHX record. 42-18. Just imagine what they could've done if Amare was healthy. Probably would be better then the Pistons. But Nash has lifted his team by himself to the top of the league.
