Sahayog, I still think Kidd at his prime was better than Nash ever was...Why?  Kidd took a team with nobody known into 2 finals...That was the genius of this guy who made all around him look good.  Look at K-Mart: In the Nets, this guy was All Star material...He was counted among the most dominating forwards but once traded to the nuggets, he's just a page in the history books...a could've/would've story!  In contrast, Nash had Marion and Stoudemire who were already creating a havoc in the Western Conference even before he got there.  They perfectly compliemented his running game.  Would Nash've been able to do the wonders he does without the running game? 

IMO, don't overlook Kidd as he still has a few more years and a team like the Mavs, with little time left and the whole management in disarray after last year's early exit, need to take the crown soon as they too are running outta time.
