In the last 20 year the top 4 Australian guards would have to be Andrew Gaze, Brett Maher and much to some poster chagrin Shane Heal and Phil Smyth
So year I do thing Brett Maher is one of the top Australian basketball player of all time.

Would absolutely be in the top 3 Aussie shooting guards BUT defensively?
Heal and Smyth shot the ball as well but, defensively were far superior.

You are saying that Heal was a better defensive player than Brett ? LOL . Shane may be dirtier and stronger,but was often lazy.
I dont think too many players were worried about the "hammer" on the defensive end, just how far back he could shoot in at the other END !
Smyth i would agree, very tenacious defender.
Maher may not win defensive Player of the Year any time soon but is a very good team defender and solid positionally.
Heal was a very ordinary defender.
MAHER THE BEST SIXER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see him in the same class as Jason Kidd and Mark Nash.. ok, ok hes only played NBL:... but if he was younger i reckon the scouts would be all on him. I saw him play against the USA last year and he did more then held his own, he couldve been a star in the NBA.... just if he was a lil younger... its a shame./

Hurley,
I think you mean Steve Nash. What is it with so many people getting Steve and Mark mixed up?

Yeah , coz i reckon NBA MVP Mark Nash would be pissed at people comparing him to 36ers role player Steve Nash !!

He's no where near the same league as Jason kidd and steve nash. Bad comment. He can shoot better than Kidd, and that's about it
But as far as Aussie ballers go, a true legend!
