Who knew Nash, D’Antoni and Harden would all join forces in Brooklyn.....
Leave harden out of this
They messed that up by trading Shawn Marion for Shaq.
Terrible move.
ThA MAN C MAcK that Q Richardson trade was horrid too, Nate Robinson and Quentin Richardson to the New York Knicks for Kurt Thomas and the rights to Dijon Thompson
Yeah and it doesn't even necessarily mean that they didn't go small enough/ruined the style/Shaq was terrible and a complete error, it's just that all those moves, trades and stuff, because of the freaking out on completely normal and even explained losses to the rivals Spurs, just ruined those Seven Seconds or Less Suns.
Shaq was always "the last piece of the championship puzzle" around that time. Silly Suns GM bought into that narrative.
They had no choice. as good as they were, they couldnt push past the western conference finals. Moves had to be made, breaks my heart
DocMalice Quit trippen.
It was one season.
Nash: "Let's talk a little about defense."
D'Antoni: "Huh?"
Heroball without D = No Ring.
Rockets will never win with that system. Period.
@@scottipippen6554 ok boomer
Nash: Lets talk a little about defense
D’Antoni: Lets not
the 08' Rockets had a top 5 defense with the second best offense and were a hamstring away from most likely a championship.

Honestly. Nash just didn't play selfish enough. He should have shot the ball more.
If he took like 25 shots a game it would be a completely different team. An aggressive Steve Nash and he’s not even the most explosive guy in his team 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
@@lonzobull684 there games where he took over the fourth examples the game vs Kidd and one vs the Mavs.
I agree Nash should of been more aggressive
hes a terrific offensive player, talk about his three point fundamentally sound shot, his free throw, his one foot running shot, his spin move then one foot fadeaway, his ability to finish with his left and right
Nash would be perfect for today’s nba
James Nash 🔥😂
Wheres the Steve Nash build????
Joe you see what my man russ has been doing in this lineup? Mans potential has been unleashed
Always thought James Harden is the roided up version of Steve Nash
Drake Tennyson He doesn’t have Nash’s playmaking ability and efficiency.
@@TokyoBalletReprise Yeah he doesn't have Steve's efficiency but playmaking absolutely. Harden to his credit is both a Scoring Champion and Assists Leader.
Steve Nash talks to Mr. Pringles about basketball. Legendary day.
Who’s here after they’re both coaching on the nets now?
That 05-07 Suns team was scary offensively--Nash, Bell, Diaw, Marion, Stoudemire--that lineup was so hard to defend
I ain't a GSW fan but imagine them against GSW either the 72-10 team or the one with KD. Would be interesting match up
Martin Racza lol 😆 kobe somehow got 3 games on em
@@iamLODD They were the diminished 2006 Suns, and then he blew a 3-1 lead and quit on his team.
Dusk TheHunter quit on his team? You are just a hater. He led the series in scoring in GAME 5, GAME 6 HE HAD 50 PTS and GAME 7 HE LED HIS TEAM IN SCORING. YOU ARE A JOKE BUDDY, A BAD JOKE.
Dusk TheHunter COMPARE THAT SUNS TEAM TO ODOM, KWAME BROWN, SASHA VUJACIC, RONNY TURIAF, LUKE WALTON, CHRIS MIHM, BYNUM AND SMUSH PARKER LOL! You are a joke.
I just love Steve Nash
Ratoya Banks Me too! He's my all time favorite. I miss watching him play.
steve is an awesome guy as a player and a person
Will you marry me
Dantoni regrets his days in phoenix when he got pressured by management and media , now he's going all in. Win or not, fitting way to end for a great coach who doesn't get enough credit. (He prob gone this summer and retire)...
he should retire he is a trash coach
Yeah sorry he trash af
Those Suns teams were special. Always feared them as a Laker fan growing up
@@paulsilas9070 I don't know about that when they blew a 3-1 lead to them.
@@paulsilas9070 We eliminated Kobe and Co. from the Playoffs in 2006 and 2007!
They used to give my Spurs headaches, but man was it exciting to watch.
@@SunDevil527 And still you never won a chip😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@SunDevil527 and co.? can u elaborate that co my dear
One Robert horry bumb away from winning a chip in 07. Makes you wonder what whoulve happened if they won back then
Shawn Marion’s shot is so iconic lol
1:22 almost forgot shawn marion's jumper was uglier than lonzo.
Lol ik it's like a chest pass in Netball.
The jumping chest pass shot lol
lonzo shot aint even bad no more
It s like a catapult troughing a rock.
Marion was more consistent on making those
D’antoni needs to regrow that mustache, looks dope af lol
Much respect for both of you guys and to TNT as well for doing this thank you.
Steve Nash in this era would have been epic!!!
Now Nash is the head coach and D’antoni is the assistant!
and Harden is backkkk
Marion had the hardest release timing in 2k.
It was literally a tap.. he actually got it off pretty quick
Now they're working together in Brooklyn man that's crazy
Those suns teams will forever be my favorite as well as Nash
Saul Carrasco u like losers
Nash is now a coach himself.
I wonder how much of D'antoni's systems he'll try to implement in Brooklyn
Fair to say a lot considering his now an assistant to Nash
So far a lot. They run a ton of pistol action in their early offense, which isn't saying much because everyone does, but it has worked absurdly well with Brooklyn because everyone other than Allen and Jordan can handle the ball and hit open jump shots. Aside from the obvious personal differences, seeing as Nash is one of the best teammates ever and Kyrie is certainly not that, Kyrie is probably what Nash would've been had he shot the ball a lot more in the mid-2000s with his balance, quick first step, and ability to operate in the pick and roll. This Brooklyn team has the capacity to run both of D'Antoni's best offenses (Suns and Rockets) as they also have two of the best isolation scorers in basketball. Although Nash is the clear head coach of this team and nothing should be taken away from him, D'Antoni's fingerprints are everywhere and I bet it warms his heart to see how much the NBA has changed because of his influence and willingness to be different.
By the way, I'm a Canadian Celtics fan so this was extremely tough to write about Kyrie while not being a Nash-lover but I tried my best to stay unbiased.
And now together in BROOKLYN ,SHEESH 🔥
Charles Barkley: “dribble dribble dribble...”
*dirrble dirrble durrible
My favorite team to play in NBA live at the time. The west was crazy good then every playoff matchups were 🔥
So good to see Nash and Mike talk, they have mutual respect and love for one another.
This should've been done as a podcast. Too short! I'd love to hear these guys reminisce for an hour.
Very fond memories of that era. The Suns, Spurs, Mavericks, Rockets, and Lakers. All played very beautiful basketball.
D'Antoni always had a cute smile. He looks really good for an older guy, daddy type.
James Nash... That's a real answer for ya.
Nash was the inspiration for me to pick up the basketball
Little did these two know that in 9 months they'd be coaching together with a great roster in a big market. This friendship is as good as it gets. D'antoni was willing to sacrifice future job opportunities like Atlanta and Sacramento for an assistant position working with one of his best friends, Steve Nash. This Nets season is going to be epic.
Those Suns teams in mid 2000s were so good and hard to believe they never made it to the finals. They always seemed 1 player away from a championship.
WHO'S WATCHING THIS AFTER D'ANTONI BECAME NASH'S ASSISTANT COACH LOL??
Moi
Not gonna deny D'Antoni's offensive genius. But come on man, rebounding is a HUGE part of the game and to get rebounds you need a big guy in there. Call it old school, call it whatever, but time and time again I will always say it...you don't get those rebounds your team is not gonna win a championship. Period.
Burnout 122812 Russ, harden, tucker and Covington all can rebound. If they play good enough defense with their all time great offense, they’ll be fine.
d'antoni is so stubborn trying to prove what was told to him by his coach, this strategy will be effective in the regular season but when its playoff time they should consider more seriously that they will play against the same team a couple of times where the other team will surely have adjusted to their style and would have found the weakness a couple of games later, golden state is different because they have a reliable big men and draymond plays very physical and with a lot of heart that is why the warriors struggled that time when their bigs got injured
My favorite team growing up. That core of Nash-Marion-Stoudemire was so fun to watch. Amare getting hurt absolutely killed us.
this was a really good video, kudos steve nash
Great content. I may actually like this Tuesday show.
One of the best and definately one of the most exciting teams ever put together!
Nope
I liked Amare and Johnson. I feel they would have done better if they gave Johnson and Amare more of the Ball. Nash was actually bad for those guys a lot of the times, because he spent too much time dribbling the ball and forced guy like Johnson off ball too much. And Amare was amazing inside, and needed the ball more. Nash was actually bad for those two guys in my opinion. And the entire team suffered and limited their max potential.
Nope they were trash
Really tho , the student and teacher discussion .. those Phoenix Suns teams from like 2005-07 oh man those were some insane years back then
bruce lau u people have low standards
😭😭😭😭😭 I miss them day's! 😭😭😭😭😭
If Nets were to win, I won't be even mad. D'Antoni deserves at least ONE RING
Boy I'd hit the post hook every possession on 6'5 PJ Tucker foh in MyCareer
No adjustments or defense! You forgot about Don Nelson!
One of my fav teams of all time!
Skip Bayless at 0:22
Bruh...😂
Ayyye fucken yoooooo
That's his lil bro Skoop
One thing that Warriors have had when they're winning, and Rockets cruelly lack often, is ball movement. It might not show up in the stat sheet, but it's obvious to watch. Curry is always in movement when he doesn't have the ball, and Harden is static more often than not. IMHO it's what makes the Warriors small ball more efficient overall and also more enjoyable to watch than these Rockets.
Abe S well ever since they lost capela the ball movement has increased by tons.
Tretre13 _ Ong I swear these dudes just don't watch us play and just make there assumptions on us
Giant L yep they all think ohh harden only plays iso. No ball movement. Watch a game once in a while and you all will find out. That we pass the ball more then your mom was passed around in high school. Headass
Tretre13 _ facts
warriors just won because they shot the ball more from down town and hit more than other teams. And they did just enough defensively that it was enough. Houston and old phoenix just don't have that kind of accuracy or enough defense.
Mike looked like he has a moustache even without a moustache
Really organic interview.. at dinner with no drinks and no food..
MAn I really wanted to see Nash win at least one ring
he might have, if he stayed with Mavs and Dirk, then again, with his lack of defense, would probably have made Dirk miss out on a ring. So probably for the best.
Coach Mike I hope you bring a championship to Houston someday 🇨🇱🤠🤘
Ernie Estrada 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Could be interesting this season if the Sixers hire Mike D'Antoni and they play Steve Nash's Nets.
I fell in love with basketball watching Steve nash passing.
It broke my heart when they got robbed of the championship because of corrupt referees.
They can't say it on the air, because they'll get fined for it, but Tim Donaghy almost killed the league as far as trusting the referees goes.
Nash, Marion, and Stoudemire were one of the best big threes in history.
Mike D’Antoni is Fired after this Season!
PREACH! He's the worst coach in the NBA period.
Great piece by tnt
D'antoni looking like Val Kilmer here
Mike D'Antoni looks like if Colonel sanders and the Pringles guy had a baby
Now steve nash is the head coach of NETS can't wait to see them go head to head
Nash was a maestro at making his teammates better.
Steve Nash in today’s NBA? Good lord!!! That would be glorious to watch.
I would love to see what D'Antoni would do if he had Giannis (after getting a consistent 3 pt average of 35 to 40%).
Or if D'Antoni replaced Kerr as coach for the Warriors when they had KD.
Or as head coach of OKC when KD, Harden and Russ were all there.
Man we will never know!!! I would have love to see those what ifs!!!
I would love to have seen D'Antoni coach Derrick Rose if he never got injured. Ik Rose only ever averaged 6 or 7 assists but his court vision is amazing.
I would want to see D'antoni fired and never see him coaching a team again.
Amare, Marion, Joe, Q and Nash
🐐 squad
This interview was part of Steve's plan to recruit him to his staff with the Nets...
33% of threes is not more efficient than 50% twos. Especially if u add all the fouls u get when shooting layups and twos.
Brons G15 They’re saying in a vacuum
It’s been soo long since the suns were exciting to watch
Why nash hair still so good?
1 year ago today, all three of them are together in Brooklyn
I'm here after D'antoni's appearance on JJ Redick's podcast
Mike D'Antoni looks good for his age, he always had a cute smile.
So we just gonna disrespect Don Nelson like he didn't do small ball in the 90s
Now they are on the same coaching staff😂
A reunion, but we shall see if Steve Nash going to coach to team out of east in next season. Otherwise, another disappointed fate that would end up like what Clippers did.
Most important is the rules are changing to encourage offense. Just like the James Harden’ rule.
The problem with going with EFG% and TS% is that it's not as useful in the playoffs, and especially down the stretch of games, when you just need shots to go in and you're not gonna get as many foul calls. That's when the good old FG% becomes more valuable when evaluating a scorer, as you just want someone to make a shot regardless of whether it's a 2 or a 3. Usually, the defense ends up giving up midrange options, so a player who can take that option and convert it at a high level becomes extremely valuable.
"Defence is good but offence more sexy", Rockets 2020 v MdA
LOL, they got it all wrong, Nellie started it back in the 90s not D'Antony and Nash
Steve Nash was so great for the Suns - 2 MVPs and the only player to shoot 50% from 2, 40% from 3, and 90% from the line FOUR times!
and his teams were still rubbish, if it weren't for Amare and Johnson they wouldn't even got far in the playoffs.
"30% threes is better than 50% twos".
Is it though?
Imagine if prime Nash and prime Harden were on the same team and Mike was the coach.
early playoff exits as usual
GSW is the most successful small ball team in the history of basketball because of Curry, Klay and Draymond, the team has the best offense and has a great defense too 🏀
3 NBA Championships 🏆🏆🏆
73 - 9 regular season
Country Style Have you going to leave out KD when he has two finals MVPs and was caring. Steph? Lol
@@Thanosdidtherighthing KD joined the 73-9 and an already champion GSW
actually 05,06,07 suns were playing fast paced and effective. i love the system my only porblem with mike is he doesnt involve much the bench
The real 2007 nba champs! PHOENIX SUNS
Mark D'Antoni "We lost because we didn't make shots" lol, biggest "coach" and "mastermind" in NBA history. LOL.
People be talking about how they didn't have defense. The Suns teams weren't really a good rebounding team, which is a bigger concern for offensive-focused teams. Their rebounding numbers may be similar to similarly-constructed teams (DEN, SAC, DAL) but on a game to game basis, it didn't seem to be the case.
Childhood memories, coming from a laker fan 😭
Mike D'Antoni's small ball system, should have won championship rings for his handsome fingers.
Do the Math Steve! Per 100 shots, 50% on 2's = 100pts, while 33% on 3's = 99pts, lol
Ummmmm you forgot to add the 20-odd *extra* possessions per game their style yields.
_"Seven seconds or less"_ ring a bell?
120 x 0.33 x 3 = 118.
He meant 33.333...% clearly.
Before D'Antoni, there was Cotton Fitzsimmons.
33% from 3 is not better than 50% from 2.
33% from 3 is 0.99 point, 50% from 2 is 1 point.
40% from 3 is better than 50% from 2.
2:59 Someone said that's a hate sign
I call it as three point.
HELLO ITS ME 666 Mark of the Beast
Amazing confirmation he likes the Rockets
#21Burnett
Nash Was Great
Not keeping Joe Johnson hurt them and trying to be a bigger team trading for Kurt Thomas hurt that team they talk about it on Knuckle heads when Nash was on .
TH-cam recommended this after the Nets big 3 defeated the Clippers Feb 2, 2021
Its working now, because dudes like kg, tim.duncan, shaq are no longer playing, that small ball in the mid 00s had problems against elite big men
Bro James Nash would be the undoubted GOAT
Can you imagine what he could do with Steph
We've already seen the best version of Steph with Kerr. Honestly, I think D'antoni couldn't have done any better.
Who's here after nash getting head coach lol
still remains to be seen if you can win without defense though. if someone ever does that no one will be able to say anything ever again
steve nash is the only player legally entitled to dribble dribble dribble because when he dribbles he is not just standing, he is pressuring the opoonents defense until it collapses and opens up opportunities. His typical move is always attacking the basket and then if none is open he would go to the baseline and then went back up the free throw area either he sees someone cutting under the rim or he suddenly shoots a midrange. another move is when he goes through a pick sonetimes he keeps his dribble and wait for his defender to catch up and then he puts them on his back so then he as an open space forward to do whatever he wants
