Hoje quem vai fazer a análise não sou eu, mas sim o...Steve Nash. Steve Nash, base dos Phoenix Suns, muito criticado pela massa associativa dos Suns aquando da sua chegada segundo o argumento de que já era um "old" point guard [base], mas a verdade é esta, este "old" point guard revolucionou o estilo ofensivo do basket. Phoenix foi provavelmente o melhor destino que este jogador podia ter escolhido, uma vez que neste clube privilegia-se a rapidez de execução [equipa com mais pontos 2006/2007].
Steve Nash é um dos melhores bases de sempre, logo a sua opinião é bem mais "profunda" que a minha.
Os melhores bases eleitos por Steve Nash são: Tony Parker [25 anos, San Antonio Spurs], Deron Williams [21 anos, Utah Jazz] e Chris Paul [22 anos, New Orleans Hornetts]. Aqui fica a opinião deste sábio jogador.
Qualidades de Deron Williams:"He's a great player already. Very, very dangerous offensively. He can score from anywhere on the court at a high percentage, but he's also a true point guard with good vision. And he's a competitor."
Acerca da comparação com Jason Kidd:"I know everyone likes to compare him to Jason because they're of similar size and build, but Jason is almost in a class by himself as a pass-first point guard. I think everyone is just different. We might all have some similarities in our games, but that's a somewhat simplistic way to look at it. There's more to it than that."
Como defender Deron Williams:"I usually do guard him even though he's obviously bigger and stronger. But let's face it: Deron's a difficult matchup for every team in the league. I do all right against him, but a lot of defending point guards in this league is how the bigs handle the pick-and-roll. It's not so much guys going one-on-one. [The bigs] can make all the difference."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qualidades de Chris Paul:"He's not as accomplished a shooter as Deron, but he's a terrific penetrator and passer and he's able to get to the line from the backcourt. We both penetrate and probe the defense in pretty similar fashion, but I don't get to the line as much as Chris does. And that kind of offsets Deron's shooting advantage. [Paul] also seems to have a knack for getting steals. He gives his team a lot of confidence."
Quem vai ter melhor carreira: Deron Williams ou Chris Paul?"I'd love to say that it's all the media's fault, but I understand it. Everyone tries to compare players because it's fun. It's the natural thing to do to try to think of something that's similar. Let's say we're talking on the phone and you say something about X and I'll interrupt you and say, 'Oh, you mean sort of like Y?' It's just what we do in life because we all want to relate to each other. That's kind of how I see it."
Quem é que é mais forte neste momento: Deron Williams ou Chris Paul?"There's nothing in it [between them], really. I don't know how you could pick one. Both are great point guards already."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qualidades de Tony Parker:"He's the best finisher out of all the point guards. Tremendous quickness, as everyone knows. It seems like he can get to the basket in traffic any time he wants and he's effective going right or left, which obviously makes it tougher for the defense. And now he's improved his jump shot. He's definitely improved it."
A rivalidade entre Suns e Spurs influencia a vossa relação?"You'll probably be disappointed to hear this, but there really is no impact. We don't guard each other very often."
Porque é que costuma defender Williams e Paul, mas não defende Parker?"I imagine that both teams think it's more effective to put a bigger, longer guy on both of us. And there's something to be said for not chasing around the other guy all night when each of us is doing a lot of orchestrating."
Bem, aqui está a opinião deste grande jogador. Mas como eu não sou nada mauzinho e como apenas quero que vocês fiquem contentes, aqui fica o top 10 dos jogos de ontem.
Espero que gostem, afinal de contas quem é que não gosta?
