Nobody knew what to anticipate when the former MVP was initially asked to guide this All-Star Brooklyn team to victory given he lacked coaching experience. Let's revisit the NBA legend's greatest head coaching achievement as head coach of the Nets. The greatest accomplishment of Nash's career was going toe-to-toe with the Milwaukee Bucks in seven games during the 2021 playoffs despite a crippled Nets team.
On Friday evening, the Denver Nuggets are playing the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center (in Minnesota) for Game 3 of their second-round playoff series. During the game, two-time MVP Nikola Jokic made NBA history by moving ahead of Tom Heinsohn, Steve Nash, Jaylen Brown and Moses Malone for 60th on the all-time playoff points list . Jokic had 20 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists, three steals and three blocks while shooting 8/14 from the field and 1/3 from the three-point range in his first 34 minutes of playing time.

The concept of the NBA 'Super Team' with all-stars bring high expectations, as it did for the Suns. That can mean a very short leash for a head coach.
