    Nate, this is a great question. It's really a short list.

    I'll decompose it a little further:

    *Two contemporaries who were a little younger than Bird. Stockton and Chris Mullin. But they overlapped the Bird era.

    *Two that come to mind that (again) overlapped the Bird era but were about 10 years younger than Bird. Jeff Hornacek and Mark Price.

    *Once you get to the time after Bird retired, it's really slim pickings. You get to the likes of Brent Barry.

    *You have the right answer. It's Steve Nash (even though he didn't care much for Defense).

    *If you narrow it down purely to AMERICANS...I'll give you the name that comes to mind. And it's a guy who most fans don't care for. Kevin Love. He's had a solid career.

    if we're talking Americans only,it's got to be Chris Mullen.Kevin Love is a great player but he kind of faded off in his prime

    *People knock Laettner. He was actually a very solid pro.

    *Bobby Hurley, tougher for me to say. More importantly, he's alive.

    Read about the car accident he got in. Other driver blew thru a stop sign. Bobby got wrecked. Lucked out that teammate Mike Peplowski was driving. He had medical knowledge from his mom being a nurse, saved Bob's life.

    John Stockton?
    Thunder Dan Majerle?
    Not too many these days. Mostly Euros. But there is Tyler Herro, I guess. Gordon Heyward. Alex Caruso.

    He will be Tebowed.

    Dick is a Christian. He has said, “I was given, fortunately, all these blessings in my life, and that’s kind of my hand, and I’m trying to do the best I can do with it and glorify God while I’m doing it.

    lol I thought that would raise some eyebrows. I was kind of joking, Europeans identify their country mostly. That's why I was saying who's the greatest North American white player since Larry Bird not too many. Europeans have already surpassed us as better basketball players

    I would have to say Stockton over Nash. He was robust! I remember him dominating Van Excel in those playoffs series vs the Lakers; wearing him out with p&r and shutting him down on the other end. I think if Nash played Van Excel it would be more like trading baskets.

    OK, who's the best Russian player since Sergie Bazarevich? Is is Shved or Kirilenko? Don't say Mozgov.

    Why is that? I think the American has the cards stacked against him compared to the euro player. Growing up there's a lot of stigma on the basketball court and even some reverse racism. you have to be really mentally tough to get through those obstacles. There's a lot of good American players but there hasn't been a superstar in a long time

    Stockton over Nash every time. He has always been criminally underrated.
