A Benchmark Season

Technically speaking, Steve Nash is second only to Kobe Bryant. Leading the NBA in assists, it is certainly understandable why Nash would allow his L.A. counterpart to take the lead. I would argue that he is second to none, considering the fact that he only goes to high schools to perform community service. Ranking first in their division, the Suns have certainly defied the odds this season. Amare Stoudemire, clad in diamonds, has been sitting in his $70,000,000 courtside seat all season alongside Grant Hill and other phenomenal players, who have only been able to work the bench. With a heavy, yet well-dressed sideline, Nash, Marion, House, the one-armed Irish man and Barbosa, of late, have more than overcome long road trips, back-to-back games and unjust calls (not that I am singling out the game-altering final call against the Timberwolves).
