The Best Passing Highlights From Steve Nash & Ricky Rubio’s Opening NBA Years

By

At 1:02 here, it’s Nash in the lane, again twisting around a committed defender to find an opening for… Shawn Bradley.

Here, Anthony Randolph lurks around the Target Center’s baseline, and we’re not even sure Rick Adelman knew he was there. Rubio, somehow, sees him with four players in his sightline.

Who had the better early highlights in their career?

    Oh i love this. Not the comparison really. Rubio reminds me more of a Early career Jason Kidd- Passing, defence, steals, decent boards, lack of a jump shot, (remember “ason kidd”?( than a Nash -Excellent shooter, excellent passer, overall great on Offence, but lacks D and boards. Although Rubio has said Nash has been his favourite player , so his ability to be a floor general u can say is a result of that. But yeah, to me, Rubio= more Jason Kidd than Nash.

    Mark Jackson was a BETTER passer than both of them.

    If you wanna have a comparison clinic on pinpoint passing and angle accuracy, bring up video of Mark ‘action’ Jackson.
    if for nothing else, just to refresh your memory of how GREAT a passer he was!

    Did anyone else notice that half of the passes in that Nash top 10 was with his left hand? Dude is a wizard. He makes passes with his left that most can’t make even on their best day.
