We have 3 major candidates.

Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, and Cp3

Early 2000s. 2002-2003. Kidd was able to lead his team to back to back finals appearance. (Only losing to Shaq/Kobe Lakers and Big 3 Spurs respectively)

Everyone thought Kidd would be inarguably the best PG of the decade.

However, in Mid 2000s. 2005-2006. Nash was traded from Mavs to Suns. And his partnership with coach Dantoni worked wonders. Unlike Kidd. Nash never was able to lead his suns team to a finals appearance. Usually losing to Spurs or Lakers before reaching the big stage. Still Nash won back to back MVPs in that stretch

Then Cp3 came to the party as a late game. 2006, he won Roy. 2007, he was not even an all star. But in 2008, he had a skyrocket leap. Not only he made all star. He became an MVP candidate!!!. And even placed second place behind Kobe Bryant (one of Top 10-12 all time players)

My Verdict

Cp3 kinda came late. And a good amount of his prime years will be in 2010s instead.

So, it is Nash VS Kidd.

Kidd back to back finals appearance was amazing.

But I will give the edge to Nash. Just because on how deep the wild west in his time.

So, I have (for 2000s)

1.Nash

2.Kidd

3.Cp3

Honorable Mention: Deron Williams

    I put none of the blame on Joe Johnson, and all on the owner at the time Sarver. It was a total of $5 million that prevented Johnson from re-signing with the suns. Not $5 per year. But $5M over 5 years. It’s a joke and Sarver is absolute garbage and cost the suns at least 1 title in that stretch.

      Very fair, I forgot about what a toothpick to the urethra Sarver was.

      Sarver/Colangelo Jr also sold the Luol Deng and Rondo picks. Just terrible asset management.

      I hate Sarver more than Robert Horry.

      This. A core of Nash, Amare, Marion and Johnson. That’s it. Add free agent ‘X’. Johnson lets Nash play off-ball more. Deadly.

      When other Pistons fans say how much our billionaire owner sucks and how’s he’s the worst and as a super fan of the NBA, I always think, you’re complaining about our owner, who is willing to drop money if ever needed, when Sarver nickeled and dimed his teams and is arguably the biggest reason why Suns don’t have a ring to show for some REALLY good teams.

      Im so happy for Suns fans that he is gone because no fans of a professional sports team deserve a POS owner like Robert Sarver

      What are your thoughts about Leandro Barbosa taking over Joe Johnson’s role? Dude was a highly effective sixth man.
