I would say nash and amar'e benefited from each other. Much in the way felton and amar'e benefit from one another on this team.
having two players of that type of all-star caliber putting in work and playing hard does make things better for each other and the rest of the team. But Amar'e would be a great player even if Duhon was still running the point. Felton, would probably have similar numbers in another high tempo system like golden state. But because they are good players they make each other better and elevate each others game.
John Stockton would still be a great player if Karl Malone never played and vice versa. But because they played together they made each other better. one doesn't make the other, they just help.
MSG, great thread as always.
Nash never made Amare.
Amare never made Nash.
These are HOF players who worked hard to get where they at. They're both elite, MVP caliber players, and the reason why Phoneix was elite for so long.
Only non-atheletes and the ignorant sports fan assume a player makes another player better automatically without any energy output by the player himself.
Just accept.
Sports fans love to take credit away from athletes.
I believe its envy.
