When dealing with a five-time NBA assist leader, expect the unexpected. In the middle of an MVP season, Phoenix Suns All-Star guard Steve Nash fakes left and goes behind-the-back in midair to dish a dime to Shawn Marion on his right. The Hall of Famer went for 24 points and 13 assists in the road win on December 30, 2005.

If there’s a crack in the defense, two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash is destined to find it. After surveying his opponent and former teammate Dirk Nowitzki from out on the perimeter, the Phoenix Suns point guard heads straight at the mismatch, dashing baseline and finishing with the acrobatic two in a March 5, 2006 contest against the Dallas Mavericks. Nash posted 25 points and 11 dimes in the W.
