John Nash vs. Steve Nash?

Question

Who is the most brilliant? John Nash proved some topological embedding theorems and won a Nobel prize. On the other hand Steve Nash has two MVP's and has led the league in assists many fold. John had a movie about him where he goes crazy, but we have all seen some incredible behind the back passes from Steve - which are just Crazy.

Answer 1

Actually this is a good question. Who is the most brilliant? I think you have to measure the two intelligences differently. John Nash is a brilliant mathematician, while Steve Nash is a brilliant athlete. One might say they are equally brilliant, but in different areas of intelligence.
