Steve Nash And The Jonas Brothers Have So Many Things In Common

As much as I hate mentioning the Jonas Brothers, becuase they just are horrible musicians, I honestly had to make this comparison.

Nash can be seen on ESPN and the Jonas Brothers can be seen on The Disney Channel, which are both owned by the same corporation.

People's love for Nash is based on highlights they see on ESPN. Once you watch Nash play for a full game, you realize on how overrated he is—just like the Jonas Brothers.

The Jonas Brothers are loved by prepubescent girls. Where Nash gets his support from younger NBA Fans, there is a very high probability of prepubescent girls loving Nash as well. It's a very sad day in the music world and sports world when a band is based on looks instead of its substance, and a basketball player is based on his flashiness instead of his actual skill set.

Onto my point—Steve Nash is constantly being overrated by younger NBA fans. I've seen plenty of discussions that are stating that Nash is the best point guard in NBA history.

I just never understood that, given that he isn't even the best point guard to wear a Suns uniform. The best point guard ever to grace Phoenix is Kevin Johnson, and it always will be. There's just no way around the fact that people judge what Nash does from what they see on highlights.

These people who are rating Nash so high have no idea on what a point guard is supposed to be. He's supposed to be a leader, he's supposed to be calm under pressure, he's supposed to be a tough defender, he's supposed to be that player who can take over the game when it's needed.

Nash is none of those. Nash fades in pressure situations,, he doesn't play a lick of defense, he has the propensity to turn the ball over when defenses become aggressive, and he rarely takes over games.

Nash has had a ton of talent around him, but he's never gotten his team to the Finals. When Kevin Johnson had a lot of talent around him, where did the Suns go? They went to the Finals.

Johnson had Charles Barkley, Dan Majerle, Oliver Miller, Richard Dumas, Cerdric Ceballos, Tom Chambers, Danny Ainge, Mark West, Kurt Rambis, Frank Johnson, and Negele Knight. KJ never disappeared in the playoffs, and he took the Suns to the postseason 11 times. KJ never had another point guard run circles around him, like Nash has with Tony Parker.

KJ was fearless going to the rim. One of Johnson's most memorable highlights was him dunking over Hakeem Olajuwon. Can you name a highlight like that for Steve Nash? Nope, you can't—he doesn't like driving into the lane to score, so he's always looking to pass.

KJ was fearless and it showed and that's how he played the game. You would never see KJ flopping around like he just got hit by a freight train.

So, since that takes away the argument of Nash being the best point guard in Suns history, what does that spell for Nash against other point guards that never played for the Suns, or played for the Suns for a brief period of time?

You have Jason Kidd, John Stockton, Tim Hardaway, Gary Payton, Tony Paker, Baron Davis, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Rod Strickland, Mark Jackson, Isiah Thomas, Bob Cousy, Guy Rodgers, etc.

I'm sure some fans will find an argument about these players, but they all have one thing in common—Steve Nash just absolutely refuses to play defense.

I went off the comparisons between the Jonas Brothers and Steve Nash, but one thing's for sure—at least the Jonas Brothers, once they hit puberty and their voices change so they don't sound like girls anymore, could possibly make good music.

Unfortunately for Nash, his time is running out, and he will never have the possibility of being anywhere near being the best point guard to play in NBA history.
