Nash to win MVP

According to an anonymous league source, Steve Nash will be named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player for the second straight season. This should come as absolutely no surprise, as he seemed to be the media’s consensus choice.

That doesn’t mean it’s the right choice. The fact that once again writers got an award voting wrong should also not be surprising, but it’s still dumbfounding. Do these people actually watch basketball?

Nash will be only the 9th player in the history of the league to win the award in consecutive seasons. Listen, Nash had a great year and in other seasons would be deserving; this year, anyone paying attention knows LeBron and Kobe are more valuable basketball players. First off, they both play defense. If given ten one-on-one opportunities, don’t you get the feeling you could score on Nash at least one time?

A guy who averaged 31.4 PPG, 7 RPG, and 6.6 dimes, or a guy who dropped over 35 points on his opponents head each night, including an 81 point effort (the single-greatest regular season performance ever?) will be regarded as the third most valuable player in basketball this year; what a joke.

    That has got to be the corniest picture ever. I think Lebron should get the MVP. His supporting cast is the weakest and he did the most for his team.

    Ha, Kobe is a man on a mission. His dunk over Nash was pretty crazy. I can see the Lakers going on a 2 round hot streak.

    That dunk was great. Seriously, I’m really doubting my pick of the Suns over them. And like you said MaddenDude, they may even be able to take the next round also. Phil Jackson is legit.

    Kobe has a way weaker supporting cast than Lebron.. Lakers have no consistent bench to help their inconsistent starters. With the edition of Murray, Hughes, and Marshall Cleveland has become a much more deeper team than the Lakers.. sorry man but KOBE IS MVP!

    Christian Dillstrom had a book mark to your story. Any idea why? He is mobile and social media marketing wizard, so your internet site is example of something.
