Steve Nash: "Not sure You Can Categorize Rose and Westbrook As PG's"

[thernbroom]

Q: Who has the best point guard in L.A. right now? The Clippers or Lakers?

“I love Chris Paul. I think he’s, if not the best, top two point guards in the game. Now with Russell and Derrick Rose, they’re like super guards. I’m not sure you can categorize them as point guards. There was a time when I could have made an argument for myself as the best point guard in the game, but I can leave that to some of the other guys now. I still know I can do it at an extremely high level, and I’m still extremely competitive. Let’s hope the Lakers are the best team in L.A., and I won’t worry about who is the best point guard in L.A.”

Westbrook and Rose are point guards. They're also combo guards who cvan play the 2.

A lot of people use this to knock guys who aren't 'pure point guards' or 'pass first point guards' because they are explosive scorers. But great players are great and great players on great teams win. Both of these guys have proven that.

Nash wasn't knocking them though.

I agree with him about Russel who has been converted into PG since he hit the NBA, but Rose is a PG, if he had better offensive teammates he'd make better use of them.

He (Derrick Rose) has almost redefined the position. He’s like a super-guard. He does everything a PG does AND everything a two guard does. He’s amazing. – Steve Nash

I see not problem with what he said.

Ive said many times that Derrick Rose is the best player playing PG in the league but he is not the best PG in the league. That title belongs to CP3 and D-Will.

idc what he says quite honestly no one plays traditional roles nowadays anyway. maybe if he was a "super-guard" he would have made it to the finals
