Doubtless they are in a class by themselves. (And isn't it shocking to think how far back third place is?) The intangibles probably go to Nash, though. For one thing, he has had to overcome Don Nelson's circus-tent systems and the absence of Amare Stoudemire this year. And of course, he does have that MVP award.
Then again, Kidd did make a conference final.
But Nash has been far more durable than Kidd.
I'll agree, that's an interesting debate. I think Nash has the better of it thus far. But all things considered, I'd probably be okay with either one of them when it comes to that distinction, with the nod going to Nash for offensive prowess and for staying on the court.
