If Iverson had played on the Suns they would have had the same playoff results as they have had with Nash and he probably would have led the league in scoring every year. He may not have any rings but he carried a team on his back to the NBA finals which is far more than Nash has ever accomplished in that respect. For a guy who is universally loved he has a dismal playoff record and has never had an allstar season when not coached by D'Antoni who has somehow made Chris Duhon into a pretty respectable NBA point guard. Nash is and never has been near the player that Chris Paul now is or Jason Kidd was yet those guys have never and probably will never win an MVP. I am not saying that Nash isnt a very good player but he gets far more respect and is thought a better player than Iverson when that absolutely is not true.

Iverson is one of the most competitive and the strongest player I have ever
seen for his size. LIke I said, his athleticism is crazy unique. He works his butt off every game, on offense.
Nash would have been in a championship and probably won a championship
if he did not have to play against the Spurs almost every playoff. Put the Suns in the East Iverson played in, and the Suns would be there. THE SUNS, not just Nash.
What a better player means hmmm... one on one ability, Iverson. Consistency over many years at scoring and playing the same game, Iverson. Making players on his team better, Nash. Just like Billups is doing for Denver. Agree with Jason Kidd.
But not Chris Paul. Yet... Chris Paul keeping up the same game he plays for many years, I will take him over any mentioned barring Magic Johnson.
