No love for Kidd? He's better than Payton and Nash in my opinion.
I have no problem with Kidd being rated better, but I'm not a big fan of his game. As a point guard, I think it's important to be a good shooter when the ball is kicked out to you from the inside. Kidd wasn't that during the earlier part of his career. Also his rebounding was never a big draw for me. I often found when I watched him play he'd sag off his man too much and play closer to the ring. Which is fine for transition play, though bad if the ball gets kicked to your man.
I just value scoring, shooting and playmaking the most from the PG position. Defense isn't something I find overly important because I can only really name Payton as someone that shut down opposing wing players. Kidd wasn't that type of defender. But yeah, defense isn't a be all end all at the PG position.
I just think Nash was more dynamic in the ways he could hurt you. He's great at getting to the rim and shooting, undeniably better than Kidd. In my opinion he's also the better passer, though a lot like to argue that. Rebounding... It's not like I need my PG to get a lot. And defense... Kidd was far better, but once again, I think it's the one position on the court you can get away with it.
