nash is very good. but look at his supporting cast. marion, amare, diaw, barbosa, jones, kurt thomas. all these men are good bball players, it even have 2 all-stars among them. but then again, they only making all-star teams because they playing with Nash. Don't mind the fact that Marion was an all-star before he got there and Stoudemire was rookie of the year and clearly going to be a star in any case.
How many other teams have a player like Jalen Rose and he not even part of their rotation. He does be lucky to even see garbage time. Dirk is the only major mvp candidate with comparable support. the pistons and bulls also have comparable ensembles, with golden state not far behind.
just as he makes them better they make him better. you think it's not easier to lead the break when you have amare and marion pulling all them boards? or to have every single one of your teammates be a viable offensive option?
right now, they looking very good, playing against what is probably the weakest team in the western conference field, but I waiting to see how his defence holds up in a tough series against a good team.
