Listen Later

In the fifth episode of NBA Campfire, Sonny Giuliano and Vinney Zambito break down their rewatch of Game 6 of the 2005 Western Conference Semifinals, a doozy between the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks.

Before getting to the game, Sonny and Vinney open with a conversation about Steve Nash's exit from Dallas in 2004 and the revolutionary 'Seven Seconds or Less' Suns teams that Nash, Mike D'Antoni, Amare Stoudemire and Shawn Marion spearheaded in the mid-00s.

Then, the discussion shifts toward the series leading up to Game 6, including a run of jaw-dropping performances by Steve Nash. We then take a look at Dallas' Big 3 at the time -- Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry and Josh Howard -- while diving into our game of the day.

Finally, we close the pod with a discussion about the impact of the careers of both Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki, a pair of pioneers who paved the way for the internationally dominated game we see today.

It's time to take a seat around the Campfire!
