Steve Nash - Fantastic Finisher
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 апр 2017
- Steve Nash has every feint and fake in the book. From his hesitation and hip swivel, to his patented probe dribble, Captain Canada created space like no other. Did he invent the off foot scoop or the jail dribble? Probably not, but he used every possible piece of deception and misdirection to generate just enough space to get his shot off. In a league filled with some of the tallest and greatest athletes in the world, Nash knew the spots he needed to get to in order to orchestrate the offense, and he negotiated just enough real estate to craftily carve up a defensive scheme. His hesitation created devastation. His passing ability and creativity constantly caused chaos for defenders because he was one of the league’s savviest scorers, but also one of the greatest passers in NBA history. It was always pick your poison with Steve: play him tight and he’ll go right around you, play off of him and statistically one of the greatest shooters ever would have an open jumper, and no matter what you did or didn’t do, he could pass it around, over, or through you if he really wanted to.
Today we’re here to look at the former Santa Clara bronco’s finishing. If you need a reminder of the first ballot Hall of Famer’s resume, here are some highlights: 2x NBA Most Valuable Player. 8x NBA All-Star. 3x All-NBA 1st Team. 2x All-NBA 2nd Team. 2x All-NBA 3rd Team. 5x NBA Assist Leader. 4x 50-40-90 Club member. The best free throw shooter in NBA history. From a team standpoint? Steve spearheaded six of the 12 best offensive units in NBA history. Now we get to look a little bit about he crafted his rack attacks. Enjoy!
Yes, I know I reused some of my older material, but I was caught up in the sentimentality of his recent retirement. I decided that since it gained a little extra traction because of BBALLBreakdown’s interview of John Wall and trimming a chunk of that clip of Stevie, that it was worth it to expand. So here’s a longer video about his finishing that you can use for film study. Footwork is the foundation of this video, obviously, so don’t forget to take notes on that.

Shoutout to Javier BF ( / @javierbf_nba . He didn’t put his name on the OLD material he formatted to high-def, but everyone else who I borrowed from has their clips labelled in the video, so I wanted to give him a little credit.

Nash played with 2 right hands
I hate it when people call him overrated.
Great video. You can tell Steph curry watched a lot of steve nash film.
Fun fact: Nash can dunk (he
Its Crazy how Curry plays just like him.
They can say what they want about point guards that could finish. If you don't say Steve Nash was one of the best you are not that bright.
Being such a fantastic passer, especially out of layups made defenders hesitate to contest his shots. And when they still contested he finished it with ease. Such a great player, I’ll make sure this generation doesn’t forget!
Nash don't need any flashy dribbling unlike Kyrie and Curry but he makes basketball looks easy...
He shoots with his right and can drive to the left...and tight of course. Few players are this skilled nowadays
He needs waaaaay morr credit for today's game. Curry has influenced the 3 pointer, but the snaking in the pick and roll. The handcuffing the defender once he has them beat. The quick same foot/hand lays. That's so much Nash. He doesn't get enough respect. He's a forgotten legend and never is brought up in alltime greats, influential, of top PG conversations. They would be no tray young, darius garland without nashs influence. Give his patience amd probing game to a super athlete and you have a problem.
low to the ground, below the rim finisher. proof that you dont need to have ups to be a great finisher. Nash uses his ball handling, smarts, hip, coordination and touch to get to where he needs to go and finish at the rim with the defense draped on him. it also helps that the defense is determined to have him score than get his teammates involved (due to his elite vision and passing). Nash is seriously overlooked - hes one of the GOATs.
1. He is such a great passer that the lane id always wide open. Help defense don't always come or late to response because they are always looking for the outlet pass. He only always has to deal with the person in front of him.

I was about to try to describe how Nash was able to beat guys off the dribble, but then I read the video description. Best analysis of Nash I've ever read, and I've read a lot. Great stuff.
That abuse on Varejao at the end shouldn't be legal lmao.
I was at the Sydney 2000 olympics, and I that is the first time I saw Nash live or on a basketball court. When I saw him play for Canada, he was like the MJ23 for his team, it was so clear he was there best player and then I saw the U..S.A team that won the Gold and I can honestly say watching Nash play was far more entertaining!
He is a legend. He schooled everyone in this video.
This is my favorite basketball Chanel on RUclips deadass!!!
He's so good at getting that first step, getting that defender on his hip and making good decisions afterwards. He can make any pass to the rolling big man, use his footwork go anywhere and finish with either hand.
Damnn he is so Nashtyyyy
