Is Steve Nash the best player in the league? No

Does he make the players around him play better? Absolutely

While Nash is a great player, he's not the best in the league. Not with guys like Kobe and LeBron around. However, he has this uncanny ability to make players around him play up to their potential. Jason Kidd did this in New Jersey back in the day (while they didn't win, he was a vital part in the Nets going to the Finals 2 years in a row...essentially losing out because they had no defense for the big man).
