This is a no-brainer. There aren’t many players in NBA history the Suns should even consider taking over M-V-Steve. Nash not only won two MVP awards with Phoenix, but he brought the most exciting brand of basketball the NBA had seen since the Showtime Lakers. Nash was an otherworldly passer and ball handler, and his shooting stroke was top-10 all time. Steve gave so much to this team and the city of Phoenix, and his time as a Sun is easily my fondest sports memory, as well as many other fans in the Valley.
