I really don't see any reason for people to bash Nash. I think it's amazing, that he's still putting up the assist numbers he is at this point in his career, and even more incredible that he's doing it this year, (after everyone said his assists would fall off the map without stat to pass to).
I still think he's the best passer in the game. Doesn't play a lick of defense, so I'd never want him on my team, but he's on top of the passing game.
