Steve Nash is one of the most exciting point guards in NBA history.
The Phoenix Suns legend is one of only 15 players to win multiple MVP Awards.
In a recent interview with The Young Man and The Three, Nash spoke about Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic (who has won three MVP Awards).
Jokic: “He just kept getting better and better and better. To the point now, where, I mean, where is this going? This is going to the top of the top, the upper, upper echelon of historic basketball players, in my eyes… If this guy does this for another five years… He’s on Mount Rushmore.”
Jokic finished the 2024-25 regular season with averages of 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists and 1.8 blocks per contest while shooting 57.6% from the field and 41.7% from the three-point range in 70 games.
Via The NBA: “NIKOLA JOKIĆ, HISTORYMAKER!
29.6 PPG (3rd in NBA)
12.7 RPG (3rd in NBA)
10.2 APG (2nd in NBA)
Since per-game stats began in 1969-70, Nikola Jokić is the FIRST player to finish top 3 in PPG, RPG, & APG in a single season”
