very difficult to compare as the two play different positions...

Nash is an orchestra conductor. A playmaker, A scorer. I not only beleive Nash is a better basketball player, I think hes in a different league than Dirk.
Dirk is the ultimate choker. Im not just talking about Golden State. We saw it last year too after they were up 2-0 against Miami. We can all remember this year that the biggest choker in the league was named MVP.

I like Dirk Nowitzki better than I like his team and especially his owner, but I think Steve Nash is the better player.

thats crazy
dirk may have had a somewhat above average season but certainly doesnt mean to the mavericks what steve nash does to the suns
in no way did he "lead" the mavericks to 67 win season
by the way he was terrible in the series against golden state when it counted whereas steve nash always plays on an mvp level

that would be difficult to answer because of the type of games that they play. nash tends to play by running, such as running a fastbreak or driving fast to the basket, while dirk finds position first before attempting to shoot, so he's more of a post up player or one that shoots off a pick and roll.
aside from their method of scoring, they also differ in other areas. dirk, using his height, is one of the league's leading rebounders, while nash is the assist type of guy, being fast and not as tall as most players are.
both are good three point shooters, though. and they both helped their team reach the playoffs, though dirk failed to get his team past the 1st round.
as to who is better, that would be difficult to say.

no way man
dirk has an advantage over nash cause his size and his team
and when ppl say nash is over rated cause he has a good supporting cast thats crap if anything that makes him under rated cause he doesnt score like he can
but hes smart enough to know that he has talet around him so he can pass (which he is the best at)
dirk is good...but thats all that ppl focus on cause u never see bad highlights of the best team let alone the best player on the best team ....except now we see them lol

No, he is not the leader that Nash is. Sometimes you can hardly tell that Dirk is on the floor but you always know when Nash is out there.

Nasty Nash is better because he makes his entire team better, Dirk well, does offense but doesn't control the games tempo. Nash all the way, easy question.

No knock on Nash, who's now between the NBA's all-time factor guards. yet Nowitzki is greater ideal. A seven footer who can shoot threes, run the floor, rebound, bypass, block pictures. Nowitzki ought to land up between the main suitable ever. Jordan beats Kobe. greater ideal all-around interest.

Nash is a better TEAM player.

He is taller and thats it. I think the voters just don't want to give it to Nash every year. They didn't give it to Jordan every year either.
