i do not think so. What Steve Nash has done in Phoenix is amazing. He is able to make each and every one of his teammates to play great basketball; a team game. In Dallas, Nash was a fantastic player, had great stats, and had decent success with Dirk. However, I do not think either Don Nelson or Avery Johnson would have gave Nash as much freedom as he has now with the Suns

probably not. i think Nash played at his best during his stints with dallas. but when Nash moved it allowed Nash and Dirk to flourish more.
Nash had the opportunity to lead a team with an up tempo style. he also got out of the Don Nelson coaching style and into one where he is more of an on court leader. Nash fits the needs of the Suns....a fast, pass first point guard who can hit the jump shot but prefers to feed the cutters.
Dirk had the opportunity to step up and lead the team. something he has done well since Nash has left. especially last year and this year.
the move has benifited both players. Nash has won 2 MVP awards, while Dirk at the moment is lookin like an MVP and Championship winner

No he put up the same numbers as a Mav and now the same with the Suns. When Kidd was on the Sun he averaged better stats then Nash, Did Kidd ever win an MVP Marbury even had better numbers than Nash, Did he win?? No
Nash MVP= worst MVP in NBA history.

No chance is hell as he'll be second fiddle to Norwitski and without Mike D'Antoni playing style there's no way Nash can improve dramatically in Dallas.
Nash is like a sleeping dragon, giving opportunity his talent will shine like Zhuge Liang.

Steve Nash's run and gun up tempo style fit the athletic suns with amare, marion and barbosa more than softie Dirk...some ppl just work better together and with Dirk just poppin and shooting doesn't do well with Nash's game who utilizes tons of picks and uses them to score and pass it off and lob it to amare and marion

I can't say he would. Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobli compliment each other well. Nash and Dirk would probably be in that same category and get more team recognition than individual team recognition.

No beacuse Dallas didn't have a fast pace offence like the Suns do.
