Nash has won 2 MVP awards and has taken an average achieving team into a top tier team in the L. he has helped elevate players into stars and yet people still complain that he doesnt deserve the awards he has received.
Nash isnt the offensive machine that most MVP players are. Nash is showing that you dont have to be a big time scorer to be a winner. he is showing that by making players better, you help get wins on the board. for that reason he is the MVP.
Since Nash joined the suns in 04-05 season:
Amare - 04-05: all nba 2nd team. only player to be in the top 10 for points and FG%. 05-06: injured. 06-07 All star for the first time
Marion - 04-05: only player to be in the top 25 for points, rebounds, steals, blocks and minutes. second player ever to be in the top 5 in rebounding and steals. 05-06: career high averages in points, rebounds, blocks, double doubles, and FG%. only player ranked in the top 20 for rebounds, steals, points, blocks, steals and minutes.
thank u Nash!!

Nash has helped catipult the status of players in the L. Marion and Amare were great players, and now theyre all stars. Joe Johnson was a good player, but after one season with Nash he signs a massive deal with another team.
i know everyone says he is only good cause he has great players around him. yes its true, but doont all players need a great supporting cast to win?
look at dirk, everyone says he will be MVP (i agree), yet he has one of the best SF in the L in Josh Howard, one of the quicker and clutch players in Jason Terry, and a great coach in Avery Johnson. should Dirk be penalised because of that???
This year's all star, the suns had 3 players. the mavs had 2 and a coach (2 + 1 = 3). its even!!!
i think its time we stop dissing Nash just cause he isnt the great offensive player. in his own right he is a great player, he won the award voted by those who know the game. it wasnt a mistake, he deserved the award. this year he should be a top 3 pick

That's a very good point and I agree with you completely. We all saw what the Suns were like while Nash was hurt and they're just not the same. He could go just about anywhere in the league and turn the team into a contender.

Angelina hit it right on the head. And since the sport on all levels is dominated by black atheletes its hard for many to accept the fact that a caucasan can be as good as he is. Kobe doesnt get the ball/pass to open teammates.Nash gets his points and makes sure others are involved. The mans social veiws should have nothing to do with voting for MVP...Its the basketball ability that counts there. I would vote for him again this seaon. Look at the teams record when he was hurt vs healthy. He makes a difference.

He has great skills, but his stats are a product of their run- n-gun system. Still the only players in the NBA that could produce similiar numbers with the same team is Kidd and maybe Iverson (doesn't get credit for his passing because his job was to score).
2nd like his team he doesn't play good defense. (exception to Bell-Marion-Thomas) Can't remember any MVP's in recent history that couldn't play good defense.
3rd can't remember any MVP's in recent history that didn't lead their teams to finals.
Still I would say he deserved both of his MVP's. I still have him as only the second best PG after Kidd.

i like Steve Nash's way of enjoying. He enables make his group extra appropriate, no longer himself. He could fairly supply the ball to somebody else, fairly than take the four-hundredth 3-pointer, in contrast to Iverson. He is familiar with he could make the shot, being between the only right shooters interior the activity, yet he could fairly use his group-friends. Jordan ball hogged too, yet what's humorous is they lost extra video games than ever whilst he grow to be on the group, even inspite of the indisputable fact that he's the so-referred to as (only right participant ever.) look at Nash, him and his group would have won the Play-offs, yet they went up against Spurs, that's an incredible group. (Duncan, Parker, Ginobilli, ect.) Nash is like Duncan in strategies, he would not supply himself the credit he merits, whether he's between the only right gamers obtainable.

Nash has an all star team, even I would look better than Steve Nash playing in that team. Something more impressive is shooting and rarely miss like Kobe. So I dont think you should compare the Master of Basketball to a canadian gaylord

You shouldn't be surprised. Every great NBA player gets his share of criticism. It's because they have the spotlight and people tend to expect too much of them.

okay for one Nash is Canadian in an American sport and he is white and most people never got over the fact that he once did an interview and opposed the war on Iraq...remember most americans have this blame canada attitude no offense if you are american but you know its true frankly i blame the creators of south park
