I rank Kidd over Nash due to being unbeaten in International Play. Other than that to me they are interchangable in lists.

Over the dream. He has one on Mark Eaton too, but I couldn't find the gif.

I'm not sure if he's significantly better than any of these guys. I probably could come up with more if I studied it.

Chris Paul
Oscar Robertson
Jason Kidd
John Stockton
Dennis Johnson
Magic Johnson
Earl Monroe
Clyde Frazier
Dwayne Wade
Bob Cousey
Isiah Thomas
Gary Payton

One of them played for the US. The other played for Canada. How can you possibly rank Nash ahead of Kidd based solely on international play?

That's like saying a guy who played nothing but par 3s is better than the guy who played nothing but par 5s because the first guy had more holes in one.

One won all of the games he played in as the leader of the team. There was a reason that Coach K took Kidd on the 2008 Olympic team and named him the starter immediately.

He played for fricking Team USA. Nash played for Canada. You can't compare the two.

Okay whatever you say. As I said one has never been beaten in International play at any level.

How can you not see how ridiculous that is?

He won every game in which he was part of the overwhelming favorite with the best coaches and wayyyyy more talent than everyone else. Somehow that makes him better than Nash, who played for Canada.

Gary Payton?? Dude was a stud.

In his prime, Nash was the best PG in the league. 90/50/40 club 4x, and was ridiculously close to doing it 6x.

Not sure where I rank him in my PG list though. It wouldn't be top 5 though. Probably around 8-12ish.

Nash is the best shooting PG of all time. And a top 10 passer

Uh no if you recall which you probably do not...Team USA had been embarassed in Indy and did not medal 2002. They sent the 2000 team and they were without two big men. Then he skipped the 04 games. We saw what a JV team did at the Olympics in Athens and the 98 team was third after sending CBA players.

But I am sure you knew that.

S0o to say they were heavy favorites in every game they played is not true.

Are you for real?? Is that really your reason? I'm not either 1 is better than the other or anything like that. But using that as the reason why you take 1 over the other is just absurd, especially when you consider both teams and compare talent.

You mean back when superstars were skipping international play? And just in case you forgot, Jason Kidd pledged to play in Indianapolis, but say out with an injury.

He played when the stars played and skipped when the big guys skipped.
