Beijing time on August 15 news, the US media StatMuse posted a question, who has a higher historical status? Pictured here are cartoon avatars of Nash and Paul. One is a retired top point guard master, and the other is a veteran who still continues to fight, and the comparison between the two still has a lot to see.
It is mainly compared from three aspects: team leadership honor, personal honor and influence. Nash did not have an NBA championship, nor did he reach the NBA Finals, although Nash had played with Nowitzki for the Lone Ranger and Kobe Howard for the Lakers, but Nash was always blank in the honor of the championship.
This is similar to Chris Paul, Paul did not have a championship, but he had a good time in the Finals, but before Paul played for the Hornets and Clippers, he was ridiculed by fans and never touched the Floor of the Western Conference, but helplessly in the Rockets period, the best time to win the championship lost to injuries, in the Suns period, it was difficult to overcome the injury, but helplessly lost to the more competitive Bucks.
In terms of individual honors, Nash has twice won the regular season MVP, seven times been named to the NBA's Best Team, including three first-team, two second-team and two third-team, five career assist kings, eight All-Stars, and of course Nash has been inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame. Paul was named to the All-Rookie 1 time in his career, 11 times to the All-Team, four times to the First Team, five times to the Second Team, two times to the Third Team, and nine times to the Best Defensive Team, including seven firsts, two seconds, five assists, six steals, and 12 All-Stars.
In terms of personal honors, Nash's two regular season MVPs have extremely high gold content, and Paul has more defensive honors than Nash. In terms of influence, the two are actually top point guards in their respective eras, with a lot of fans, of course, it is ridiculous that if Nash does not serve as the nets head coach, perhaps the applause and flowers will be more. Nash is good at organizing and attacking, Paul can still organize in the case of attack and defense, the two actually have their own advantages, the historical status should be similar from now on, but if Paul continues to lead the Suns to play a good record and achieve more honors, it is not necessarily.
