How Can STEVE NASH not be an MVP candidate?

This guy is awesome....

Phoenix was looking dead in the water while he was out, as soon as he gets back, they are dismantling the best team in basketball...

Every time they get the rebound and pass to him, its "off to the races" and you can just watch the normally superb defense of the Spurs offguard and clueless where to guard when he has the ball...

You just feel like the Suns are in a racecar, and Nash just keeps mashing the gas, and off they go....

With Nash, this team is a definite title contender, without him, not sure they make the playoffs in the west (if he were out for season)....

Amazing the difference he makes with that team...

And their crowd obviously loves him, they are going wild.....

And a similar question, how did Dallas let him get away?

Nash got tired late in the game and started making turnovers, then the team fell apart. Might have been yet another good example of his net worth. I still don't know if you can say he is an MVP of the league, but of the team certainly. He thrives thanks to the talent around him as much as the talent around him thrives off of him. On the other hand, just what does King James have to help him out? Lebron is the MVP, but has no shot of going far in the playoffs with that cast of characters.

I agree Lebron James is the MVP of the league. Of course you could say Duncan every year that he is in the NBA.

It was Steve's first game back. If Phoenix puts on another remarkable run as they did before losing 5 in a row without him, he SHOULD be MVP.Also, Phoenix talking about bringing in Jim Jackson as a 6th man that would give them some added depth which they need desperately off the bench......

that was a tough spot for phoenix. they traded away jacobsen and he was getting about 20 minutes a game .

they only had 9 guys dressed and nash couldnt have been 100 % .

hell of an effort though.
