  • Nash is not the king of crossovers. AI is more legendary with his ankle breakers. Although Nash is the the 5th place 3-point shooter in NBA history.

  • Nash better overall player, better team skills, Iverson sick individual skills, Nash has some individual skills

  • AI

  • Inversion is a better individual player that puts up the numbers every night but Steve Nash is a far better and more complete basketball player. No one has the passing creativity or skill of Steve Nash he made teams brilliant. You look at the phoenix suns a few years ago, they were the best offensive team in the league. Yeah they had amare but no one else could have been the scorer they were without the playmaking of Steve Nash. Allen inversion is one scorer. Steve nash makes everyone on his te

  • i would take a prime iverson over nash any day. the guy had to take shots, so cut the stats talk, he had to take and CREATE shots without any playmaker on his team, and they didnt even have a good enough rebounder. steve nash had talent of some sort around him 24/7. so cuts the % talk and look at the shit that % cant tell u

  • thank u they are wrong an remember that ALLEN IVERSON is better

  • great video, i loved how literally all the stats are completely wrong!

  • AI all day, every day

  • are you trolling?

  • Allen iverson is the best ! shut up fucking bitch

  • Ai all day

  • TF AI ALL THE WAY!!! haha :D

  • AI's ppg is the only stat that was shown that makes him stand out over Nash - 40% 3PT is excellent for both players. AI's 40% FG% makes that stat a lot worse considering the amount of points he misses every game to get to such a high average. Combine that with Nash's advantage in assists and it seems strange to me that you would conclude that AI is slightly better (based on this video).

    Personally, I'd pick Nash over AI in a fantasy draft if both would be in their primes.

  • @BobDS06 well, Nash was never considered as defender, while AI was getting a lot of steals, also AI in his prime was quicker than Nash in his prime..But in the end, they play different positions, so it is not right to compare them

  • @fun4joke I completely agree that it's as pointless a discussion as comparing apples with oranges. But for the sake of argument, I'd pick 10+ assists over 3+ steals in a game, as well as basketball IQ over speed. To me basketball is a team game, and Iverson doesn't really have much going for him looking at his game that way. I'd also prefer an average sized point guard over an highly undersized shooting guard on defense. Personal preferences, though.

  • @fun4joke Actually they played the same position, or should have. Nash was never a shut down defender, but I have been watching him play for a long time and I think he is very under rated on that side of the ball. How often does he really get lit up? Maybe once or twice a year, out of eighty-two games in a normal season. I can take that.

  • ai 

  • AI is very underrated. Nash was a better team player because he always had a good team to support him, but AI was usually a one man show on 76ers.

  • @StonerHAS That is because AI wouldnt pass the rock. How can you say he was a one man team when he Iguadola and Mt. Mutombo with a handful of other good players that made big plays there and else ware. Everyone down plays those teams, but honestly they could have been something special if AI would have let them play.

  • Comment removed

  • Nash 2-time MVP > AI MVP 1 time

  • @TheShipitholla Nash 0-all star game MVP > AI 2-time all star game MVP.

    AI rookie of the year....Nash never rookie of the year. AI least AI has been to the finas unlike Nash.

  • Iverson. who crossed more people and everything, he can dunk. Nash just makes 3's and assisted

  • @MrPlaya23ish This is possibly the worst arguement for why one player is better than another.

  • nash all day

  • @StephenJung1 Secondly, every team/teamate Iverson played with slowly got worse as a result of it. So the guy had two or three decent teams around him that could play defense well enough to cary them deep doesnt make him a great scorer. The guy refused to even parctice, let alone be a teamate. Do you think that Jordan or Kobe ever had a problem showing up to practice on a regular basis? No, the great ones never do.

  • Whats the title of the song??

  • AI WAS more of a scorer and Steve Nash IS more of a passer..

  • With so many faulty stats and poor analysis, just erase this video.

  • People are retarded for thinking nash is better..ai a ball hog...he threw up plenty of ally oops and dishes to andre and eric snow in his prime as we'll as crossing up people even mj wake up people!

  • Not sure where you got those shooting percentages, but Iverson did not shoot that well. Iverson barely out rebounded Nash, and his only convincing STAT was his steals per game.

    Iverson: 3pt% .313, FG% .425, and FT% .780

    Nash: 3pt% .429, FG% .489, and FT% .904

    Iverson: APG 6.2, TOPG 3.6

    Nash: APG 8.5, TOPG 2.8

    Point blank Iverson sucks!

  • @cmorty2823 1. Iverson was the main scorer for a long time thus his scoring percentage will not be as high as he would have more pressure to make shots than nash.

    2. Turnovers: Had the ball in his hands a lot of the time.

    3. Nash should have rebounded more than iverson as he is taller by 3-4 inches

    4 Iverson is more of a scorer whereas Nash is more of a passer

  • @StephenJung1 The fact that Iverson was a scorer is well documented, but gives no excuse for poorer shooting percentages. Drexler, Jordan, Bryant, and James all averaged significantly higher fg% as well as higher 3pt% and fewer turnovers. Nash did not shoot higher percentages because he tooker fewer shots, Nash was a better shooter because he didnt throw up the ball every chance he got. Iverson was nothing more than a team cancer. Nash makes his teamates better, Iverson does not.

  • @cmorty2823 I don't know how one can even get an MVP by being a team cancer as you suggest. Also, he single-handedly carried his team to the 2001 NBA Finals so he does achieve great things. Steve Nash had great/solid players around him (i.e. Amare) but still cannot achieve the honour of getting into the finals. I am not saying Nash is bad; he is just not as individually skilled as iverson is nor as naturally talented

  • @StephenJung1 First of all, Iverson was not the only player on that team, he wasnt even the only future Hall of Famer on that team. Mt Mutombo is one of the greatest defensive bigmen in the history of the league. The also had the 6th man of the year that year in Aaron McKey. So to say that Iverson didnt have a team around him is retarded, and if he had passed the ball once in a while they may have one more than just one game that series.

  • @cmorty2823 FUCK YOU. NASH AND IVERSON ARE 2 OF MY FAVOURITE PLAYERS BUT IVERSON DOES NOT SUCK. 3RD HIGHEST SCORING AVERAGE IN NBA HISTORY.

  • @cmorty2823 OK STEVE NASH IS GOOD MAN. BUT WHY WOULD YOU SAY IVERSON SUCKS. HES PROBABLY TOP 60 OF ALL TIME. COME ON STOP HATING MAN! YOU SUCK!

  • @cmorty2823

    don't disrepect AI like that, haha even though his stats weren't much for show, you can't deny that he was incredibly fun to watch and was a scoring machine.

  • @cmorty2823 If you doubt my STATS look it up yourself. Those are the legit numbers.

  • Allen Iverson free thow % is 79; Allen Iverson three point % is 31.

  • steve nash's teams win because of assists and smart fg %

    ai scores all the points and jacks up garbage shots

  • Liar... Iverson has never ONCE shot over 36% from 3... Nash is only 1 of 2 players to ever shoot 90% + freethrows, 50% + FG, and 40% + Three pointers... Greatest shooter of all time!

  • @44MiNiMe44 right i thought that was wrong

  • @hlhome He was wrong, Nash is the only one to ever do it. Unless I am mistaken.

  • in an one on one AI is beating Nash at any moment but Nash is the better team player...but both are amazing players.

    And by the way, the free throw percentage is the last thing you should care about, when you talk about those guys!

  • nash!!

  • a lot of nash fans in this vid.. sorry to burst your bubble but its not even close AI is fucking ridiculous, nash is awesome but prime AI is one of the best to ever play the game. i'm a kobe fan so no bias here, career wise they're pretty close but prime AI would destroy nash sorry

  • Comment removed

  • Both play point guard but AI was always going solo, hence the low assists. Steve Nash actually played his position properly, thats why his points and shooting is lower and AI. Thats what I think. IF you disagree feel free to not msg me.

  • @FISHURMOMBALL actually for about 7-8 years AI was playing at shooting guard position

  • @TheMetallica1924 Ah see. That explains it.

  • @FISHURMOMBALL AI played sg most his career

  • he cant dunk

    

  • Iverson made $154 000 000 from the NBA. Nash has made 63 000 000

  • @tristancutler so ???

  • @tristancutler Probably more than you or me will ever earn.

  • Nash is better but during AI's prime i would say he was better but throughout career Nash just dominates

  • THre both good, Its just tht AI is a hall of famer ;)

  • @11ime And Nash isn't?

  • lol thier both going to be in the hall of fame wtf

  • AI is better at dribbling and breaking ankles, Nash is a sick playmaker, passer, and a shooter

  • Nash has nothing on Iverson

  • Nash is the best point guard ever aswell as the best player ever, so Nash is better. Also these players are almost exact opposites of each other, kind of a weird comparison.

  • @tom88cba I have been the biggest Nash supporter on this page. But he is not the best point gaurd of all time nor is he the best player of all time. Those honors would belong to Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan respectively. Sorry

  • nash is the one that is still in the NBA...

  • @gozzer13 Exactly!!!! Which is funny too since Iverson is younger than Nash too!

  • @Koreyrad iverson left because of family issues

  • @AznStylezBeatbox No Iverson left because no one wanted him. He went to Europe and rode the bench.

  • @gozzer13 yeah but iverson got injured a lot more than nash.

  • nASH IS BETTER

  • Look at numbers... Nash has the edge on all percentages and is still playing at a totally elite level. He hasn't been run from the NBA, and is absurdly better while handling the ball and running a team. And Iverson was a baller too.

  • Not Knocking AI, But Nash Is Still In The Top Basketball League In The World. Yes You Guessed It, The NBA. Crossovers And Broken Ankles Are Not Stats And Are Not What Teams Are Looking For.

  • AI all the way, man, he got the sixers to the finals all alone, best crossover ever, even broke mj's ankles, what else do u need?

  • @Naspolseptem what do u mean ALL ALONE huh !!  ??

  • @Naspolseptem As previously stated he was not alone on that team, and I am sick of people trying to say he broke Jordan's ankles. Seriously! Have you seen the video? I will give AI credit he made a good move and made the shot, but Jordan played good D.

  • AI is a scorer, Nash is a passer

  • Nash shoots less, more efficient, passes more, makes everyone around him better.

  • ALLEN IVERSON NEVER MADE HIS TEAM BETTER. THATS WHAT NASH DID.

  • nash wons iverson..iverson is a ball hog and gets 20 a game..nash isnt a ball hog gets 10 assists and 20 a game what aboss

  • nash is better, true PG

  • One's a score first point guard and the other is a pass first point guard. Why compare the two when their games are just so, so different.

    Hell I'd even make the argument that AI is really a shooting guard or a ball dominating off guard, but whatever. Both are pretty fucking fantastic but personally I love Nash.

  • A.I. is the best PG that ever done it. A.I way better than nash..

    Nash --> 14.9 ppg

    A.I. --> 26.7 ppg

    Nash better?? I dont think so... AI is the best!!

  • @pinoy03sk8ter when someone looks at a good point gaurd , the first thing they would look at is assists not points, allen iverson disregarded his team a lot and if you don't know that , you don't know basketball

  • @benbasketballgtar I don't give a fuck! assist don't win games. POINTS DO

  • @pinoy03sk8ter Thats what a shooting guard is for, AI and Steve nash are point guards, this position is mainly meant for assists, one needs to receieve the ball before scoring, unless you are a ball hog and if someone were to play a zone on you hogging the ball isn't going to put up points for you, moving the ball is. God, learn some common basketball basics...

  • @benbasketballgtar If you think AI is a ballhog!? How come he brought the Sixers to the Finals.. better then Nash's assists after Western Conference Finals Loses. Maybe he should take his assists back to canada or maybe you should stop sucking his balls

  • @pinoy03sk8ter bobo di marunong ulol. In short you don't know basketball at all.

  • @einadroj01 Shut your uglyass up! AI is better period... He brought the sixers to the finals by himself. Nash got Stoudemire and Nowitzki but he always cry at the end of the playoffs. If I dont know basketball, ask your mom how good i did when she played with my balls.

  • not even close.. nash is the best by so much

  • The only question is, "who you would rather have on your NBA basketball team for a good junk of their career?" Its outlandish that guys can answer AI to that question. There usually thugs or little kids or guys that never played organized basketball where how fly your crossover looks and being a douche is more important than winning. They also are the guys that put up 50 points and 0 passes then lose and say "Did you see that, im the only one doing anything out there! My teammates suck!

  • @tnus3 Well said, well said.

  • AI is done/finished. He'll do well in Turkey against non-NBA caliber players.

  • @reno93535 Actually he didnt do well there.

  • Steve Nash MVP twice

    Allen Iverson once

  • AI is just a junkee basketball player. how can you say he is better than nash...if he doesnt know how to pass the ball? a good basketball player is someone who can make his team mates be a good basketball player...like steve nash. steeve nash is the best...the only 1 international player who made it to become an MVP twice.

  • Okay Guys Nash Plays Good In Team not 1v1 Guys He can't dunk Advantage ast Iverson Does Crossover Advantage drippling.

  • @emonisan if u dunk it doesn't mean your the best

  • k AI is a much better individual player overall but stevbe nash is a better team player

  • Allen Iverson is WAY funner to watch.

  • Steve Nash is a PG and AI is a SG.

  • i think nash is better because he shares the ball to his teammates but iverson hogs it

  • steve nash is still in the nba but AI isnt

  • ai wayyy better than steve nash, and if u wanna debate with me.. bring it on niggas!!

  • @flybullbam1 and thats why Ai is where??? i dont even know... debate with Nash two time MVP son!!!!

  • @srt4alliance yes maybe the two most controversial mvp selections too. how many finals games has nash played in? these questions are far too rhetorical, and the comparison is really unfair on both players because of how different they play. it's like comparing kareem to scottie pippen

  • @srt4alliance yo the only reason why ai is in turkey, is because of his attitude.. talent doesnt have shxt to do with why ai is over there because, he still is one of the best players in the league.. steve nash got mvp's but no ring.. lets be real he cant do what iverson do.. anyone can pass the damn ball, especially if your iverson.. nash cant score like ai, and would never be better than ai

  • The only reason why steve nash don't score like AI is because he passes the ball.

    look at the formula. steve nash 17 ppg 11 apg. AI 28ppg 6 apg.

    if steve dont have those 5 assists. he will have another 10 points minimum, some may be treys. and look at that efficiency! 50%!

    they are good in their own right, but don't ever say that nash won't be better than AI. HE ALREADY IS.

    BTW, AI doesn't have any ring also.

  • @Cabalen03 ok neither of them have a ring.. but has nash ever been to the finals??.. if your the best player, u have to be able to lead a team, and thats what ai did.. they didnt win, but they made it, and ai was because the sixers went to the finals.. nash has to do more because for some reason all that passing aint working.. ai has about 77 games where he scored 40 or more points, nash is great to me, but he aint better than ai, and nash needs a scorers on his team at all times to win games

  • Comment removed

  • @Cabalen03 thats true.. but u said nash will??. i highly doubt it because he aint getting any younger, and he needs that one star over there, and amare gone, idk wat they can do now .. and btw, when ai was with denver, he dropped 44 points and 15 assists against PHOENIX.. so i cant say he can consistently give u 15 dimes.. but look at that stat.. he does passes, everyone needs a supporting cast, and he had that in denver.. all those points and assists, come on now, u gotta admit, ai is great!!

  • AI plays in Turkey. Nash wins

  • yeah but this season nash shot 50% from the field, 40% from 3, 90% from the line, while averaging over 10 assists, NASHTY idk whos better not my place to say

  • ai's also a hog and poor team chemistry where's a stat for that.

  • stats favor nash, he has 5 more apg than AI, which evens out AI having 10 more ppg, but nash also has a higher assist/turnover rating, but seeing as AI has afew more spg, it evens out, but, nash has 10% more fg%, and this comparison is stupid too, AI mainly plays SG, steve nash plays PG...

  • nash still in the NBA ......AI might be playing for china....enough said! NASH FTW

  • Nash is so much more valuable than AI. BBall is a team game and Nash rocks, he makes everyone on his team much better. AI has amazing athletic ability but he takes so many shots the rest of the guys on his team decay offensively. These 2 do the exact opposite things for their teams... Nash is a much more valueable assett to any NBA team. I bet any NBA player/coach woud agree.

  • two totally different styled guards

  • As a "phoenix's point guard" Nash is better ,but as a "scorer or philadelphia and denvers' shooting guard nobody can be better than A.I

  • You can't tell who's better by their stats or their rings.

    But I love A.I. and hes the best

  • Allen iverson is the best scorer, Steve Nash is best at assist. AI got his team to the final by himself, Steve Nash did not come to the finals, but had/have a really good team. So therefore he is the best.

  • nash is better!!

  • Iverson is a better scorer nd has a better crossover. Nash is a good scorer nd a good passer soo Nash is a better overall pg, but its close. Lets just say A.I would win in a game of 1 on 1

  • you're a retard for thinking iverson is better

  • IMO steve nash is de best pg in de league, but AI is still a gd pg nonetheless...

  • Comment removed

  • Ai then.

    Nash now.

  • Allen Iverson- has one of best crossovers ever

  • nash 2 MVPs. AI 1 MVP.

    nash is still in the league, nobody wants AI, hows that for facts

  • Iverson is way better than Nash this shouldnt even be on youtube.

  • @micahdw3 haha really?? nash has done way more then a.i and is an all aroun better player and leader..skills is one thing but leaderships is another...nash has both while a.i crys about "practice" lol if a.i is so go why did the 76ers the pstons and denver let him go and why is he in turkey??idk u tell me

  • ..iverson is blessed with superior physical abilities..but nash trump him with old fashion work ethic and perseverance..

    ..iverson may always be in the highlights..but nash masterminds them..

  • bull shit thats y his sorry ass retired nash best point gaurd ever

  • hell no nash is way better! not even close!

  • youe dumb for thinking ai is better then steve nash!!! hahahah

  • if nash wasnt white he would never have gotten mvp

  • @princeofvancouver lmao thats like saying bird was good cuz hes white haha race has NOTHING to do with skills

  • combine AI and nash and you will have a beast pointguard

  • Nash is so much better than AI!!!!

  • If you can answer this question, you have your answer. Does defense matter?

  • Nash

  • Very different types of game... I like Nash better , but AI is sick too so ...

  • the only reason ai is betta than nash is kuz of handles wen u cross ova mj u know u got sumtin steve neva crossed any1 on mj's caliber so ai is betta but just by a lil bit

  • @lazydemon74 how the hell can you say that allen iverson handles the ball better than steve?

  • NASH all the way !!

  • steve nash makes a team better. he gets the system going. A.I will get his 30 ppg (back in the days) but wont make his team better. nash has better vision, creates playes, and is a passer 1st. id take nash any day

  • em...Ai's 3 point percentage was never .423...it was never even over .40.....i love AI as a player, but i think you are giving him too much credit as a shooter. he's game is based on penetration, and he was never really a spectacular shooter, especially long range.

  • Iverson was better but now he's away whithout say good bye

  • iverson took more shots than nash also

  • iverson is a better scorer, nash is a beast in creating plays..both are wonderful players but ai shouldn't be positioned at the 1 spot (pg)..but given his height if u put him in the 2 spot he'll have a hard time creating shots but if plays like his prime before can can match up guys in the 2 spot

  • yeah ai is better!!

  • Nash is better!!!

  • are you high? nash is waaaay better

  • Everyone knows that Steve Nash is a way better player than Allen Iverson

  • GO NASH!!!!!!

  • ehats the song?

  • you not being fair by making this video, you obviously trying to make Nash look weaker, if u wanna compare Nash, do it with other true guard like Deron or CP3. AI's more of a combo guard, so you should have compared him to someone like kobe or jordon who gave up their assist option due to their scoring abilities, right?

  • Nash has 2 MVPs, AI has 1.

    both point guards, except one doesnt know his position...guess who. lol

  • theyre both good, nash stats are better considering the suns drafted steve just to sit him on the bench and get jason kidd in 96

  • Iverson is younger than Nash... he's an all-star, because most fans are retarded. This is why KG is starting again, Duncan is starting over Dirk, and McGrady almost got in over both Nash and Paul. David Lee deserved to be there, but hey, KG is balling with 14 points and 7 boards a game. Wow... Impressive! I'm shocked the Celtics don't have 5 representatives, and the Lakers don't have 4. Oh yeah, Pau doesn't deserve to be an all-star either. Oh well...

  • NASH !

  • Nash is better, iverson are too selfish and have too big ego. At now, look, Nash is everything for phoenix... AI, is just a scorer, nash can score, and do everything else too.

  • GO IVERSON!!!!!!!!

  • wow your an idiot if you think pts and all star appearances make a better player. look at the all star team starting lineups atm.. tmac and iverson. now look at how ther playin (or lack of). oh and i think steve nash has 1 more mvp and makes his teammates better. rather than you know, the opposite (pistons and grizzlies anyone?)

  • Steve Nash could take iverson on anyday of the week

  • Steve is best player in the world

  • AI FTW!
