Seeing him lead a break and do his little drop off passes brought me back. Still my 3rd favorite Mav ever.
Nash is my all-time favorite player, actually professional athlete. Graduated with him at Santa Clara, then moved to Dallas just as he was traded. Years of season tickets (starting with the last year at Reunion), I became a diehard Mavs fan.
What a lot of people don't know is that at Santa Clara he was more Curry than Stockton. He was our SG for his first 2 years, then a scoring PG. The crazy distribution didn't develop until he was in the NBA. Seriously, the dude became at top 5 distributor all time and developed it all professionally.
Nash and Curry proved that there are different types of athleticism.
