Who has won a MVP Award and not made the HOF? I don't know of any.

Nash was a backup for his first couple of years, so his stats aren't going to be the greatest, but he has been improving every year.

He was a bench player his first 4 years, and the next 4 after that, he started.

"well I said just pick first because now you have 3 arguments to my 2"

Is that my fault? No. It is your fault. Maybe you should've picked first.

Nash is a 1st-team ALL-NBA player 3 times in his career. He has made an ALL-NBA team 6 times. How can he not be a HOFer?

He has 6 all-star appearances, with more coming his way. He should be in the HOF with 2 MVPs, 6 All-NBA selections, and 6 all-star selections.

You didn't even list all of his stats for his full 12 seasons. I would put him into the HOF with numbers from all of his seasons that he played.

He has 2 MVPs, and you say he doesn't belong in the HOF. That is amazing to me. Plus, his 2 MVPs weren't 3 or 4 years apart, they were back-to-back, which makes the feat of 2 MVPs even more impressive.

He has had 6-7 great seasons in the NBA, and he should be in the HOF, because he had other good seasons.

You left off 4 seasons, that were great, and when he did very well. You also left off stats to his MVP Award winning seasons.

15.6ppg 7.3apg
17.9ppg 7.7apg
17.7ppg 7.3apg

Those are great seasons, considering he just started starting for his team in his 5th year, and he did great for his first year starting.

Have you watched the highlights? All you see is Steve Nash's great plays. The HOF voters are going to notice all the great plays that Nash has.

He is also making no-look, behind-the-back passes, and he is always making great passes.

He also ran a run and gun offense, which is a hard offense for a point guard, because they don't slow down, they just keep running and passing and shooting.

If he has two MVP years, but does nothing after that, why would you put him in the HOF? That is a dumb comparison, and just a stupid thing to say.

Nash has done more than won 2 MVP awards. He was an All-NBA player 1st team, 3 TIMES! He was a 6-time NBA All-star! He made an All-NBA team 6 TIMES! He was a great player for a while in his career.

Nash won an MVP Award BACK-TO-BACK!

He should be in the HOF.
