One of the pioneers of today’s “pace-and-space” style of basketball, Steve Nash’s combination of pinpoint passing and multifaceted scoring was the engine for the “seven seconds or less” Phoenix Suns between 2004 and 2008. The two-time NBA MVP led the league in assists five times between 2005 and 2011, averaging 11 assists in aggregate over those five seasons.

He is also ranked as one of the top players in NBA league history in three-point shooting, free throw shooting, total assists, and assists per game. Many people would argue that there might not have been a point guard better at executing the pick-and-roll than Steve Nash — and yes, even over John Stockton.
