Steve Nash was supposed to be the better point guard because he was able to get two Season MVP awards. This night, someone else stole the show: Tony Parker, Point Guard extraordinaire of the San Antonio Spurs. Spurs win, Suns loses: 115-99.
The Spurs Point Guard had 41 points, 12 assists, and five rebounds, while in comparison, Nash had seven points and 12 assists. Below are comments from competitors:
Shaquille O’Neal:”He’s not known for making jump shots, but he was in a rhythmn tonight and he shot them.”
Brent Barry: “They were trying to keep him out of the lane but he was making every shot he took. And when he does that you just kind of look at your coach, shrug your shoulders and say there’s really nothing we could do.”
