01:43 PM ET 10.16 | Many believe that Marcin Gortat was simply a product of Steve Nash's wizardry last season, but the Phoenix Suns center is out to prove those doubters wrong now that Nash is with the Los Angeles Lakers. Speaking to Bright Side of the Sun, Gortat didn't take anything away from Nash, but he wants people to give him some credit. "It's not like whatever he touches turns into gold. You need a second person who has some kind of skills, some kind of feel for the game. We were No. 1 in the league in passing and finishing."

Does he want more recognition in the way of a new contract?

Better get it soon - before the Nash-less Suns start the season...

I don't credit Nash completely with his production but at least half, I mean c'mon the guy was spoon feeding him buckets. Now we will find out if he can really be a low post threat and reliable first/second option.

I still wish the magic would have kept him.
He's a very under rated center!

With Howard gone, yes, it would have been very nice to still have him.

Stupid hindsight... WHY MUST YOU BE 20/20?!
