That's exactly right. He had Malone, and a bunch of role players or as you call them "who dats", and Stockton was never an MVP candidate because he wasn't even the best player on his own squad. That was my point exactly. I'm so glad you recognized it.

Where to start. Q being on that team now. Amare not being hurt and progressing as a player, and having one of the most versatile players in the league(Marion). Come to think of it, Nash is the third best player on his own fucking team! Nash is a catalyst to the Suns success. Certainly not the MVP of the league. I'll eat my words if the Suns win a championship and Nash is named MVP of the finals.
People act as though Nash made Q, Marion, and Johnson better players. Look at their stats and they're identical to last years. Only Amare averaged more points, but less rebounds.
Put a healthy Jason Kidd on this Suns team, and they woulda been even better than what they are.
