Hmmm... maybe if you define 'best'? I suppose that if I want to call the most spectacular, the 'best' , then maybe I'd go with James or Bryant, but in general, I'd stick with Nash simply because of all the players on your list, I think he is the 'best' at making everybody around him play better than they would otherwise.
