Get Ready for Another Mediocre Season, Fellow Knick Fans!

stfu you're a nets fan

Exactly, it's like Marbury could lead the Nets... As a matter of fact he couldn't lead the Nets or the Suns, what makes you think he can lead the Knicks?

So, you would rather Rick Brunson than Allen Iverson?:crazy:

No, but Nash and Marbury are close in skill, Brunson and Iverson are no where near eachother in skill level.

Marbury did lead the Suns.. the suns played the spurs as close as any team did in the 2003 playoffs, and marbury was the catalyst.

I dont think nash is close to marbury's skill level at all.. and brunson may not be anywhere near iversons level, but " he will look to pass first. [iverson] shouldn't even be a PG."

But you also have to consider who he had on his team. Marion, Stoudemire and Hardaway are no pushovers, so it is not like he did it all himself. Although I do agree with you, he did play at a top notch level and was the best player on the team in Phoenix.

I guess that came out wrong, Nash isn't as good as Marbury but he is more of a PG and that is why I would pick him over Marbury at PG. ANd even though he is not as good as Marbury it is not the same when your comparing Marbury and Nash, and Brunson and Iverson.

No, im not saying that marbury was the only player on the suns, but its just a great example of how he is capable of leading a team of talented players.

Lol, yeah, ok that brunson/iverson comparison was a tad of an exageration but it was just to prove a point: that not all pass first guys are superior at playing point than scoring point guards. especially when you look at the suns.. there isnt anyone who can really create shots or break down a defense in a late game situation. Marbury can do that. I'll take Marbury in a heartbeat over nash, so im very happy he's a new yorker again

i'd go with Nash, even though he isn't as talented as Marbury, because the guy knows how to take care of the ball and keep everyone involved, which is a PG's job. He's also a better shooter and no ego.

I dont know who I would pick, Steve Nash looks more like a pass first then shoot player, while Marbury is more individual offensive minded who has the ability to take over games. It also depends on the players you have on the team.

i'd go with nash, he seems to be more of a team player and more of a winner than marbury has been. Excellent passing, excellent outside shot, excellent free throws, that's all I would really need from a point guard. He will set up everyone else to do the scoring.

[NNpF]

See, there are a lot of people who prefer Nash because he is more of a true PG than Marbury, even though Marbury is more skilled.

[Amphatoast]

oh and i just saw the other posts..yes he can lead the knicks, the knicks are different. He is home now, GM always willingto make moves. In NJ they were cheap and they still playing cheap by not giving K-Mart his extension and keepign him. The suns are well, not the best talked of team. I have faith he can lead the knicks to where everyone wants to be, the playoffs, and deep into it.

[Matthew]

And theres also alot of people who belive that Utah and pheonix are top 10 teams this season, are they right also? Nash is getting old, can run a team but in reality cant lead a team anymore. Marbury averaged 9.3 apg as a knick last season... he isnt as selfish as people make out..

[Jeffx]

Haven't seen the Knicks play, but I'm hearing good stuff about the Ariza kid. Is he the real deal?
