The amazing thing about sports, both in the players and the coaches, is almost everyone is obsessed with doing what they want to do regardless of the opponent. The coach who continually runs the ball when the opponent is keying on the run. Kobe taking circus shots instead of passing to an open teammate. Pitchers throwing heat when they should know the batter doesn't handle off-speed stuff well. Its part of the athlete mentality to have a huge ego of course, but life is so much easier if you just take advantage of opportunities your adversaries give you. That is what Nash does. He hits a high percentage of shots because he takes them mostly when they aren't contested well. He passes first because he knows he gets attention with the ball and an open teammate can make a shot easier than he can. Yeah he does some things extremely well, but I would say over half his success is that he just picks the best option instead of always trying to be a hero like many try to do.

Probably not. I am a huge Suns fan but don't know if he deserved it year one. Last year was more deserved. This year he probably can't possibly do enough to earn it with so much help out there. The team is so incredibly talented it is hard to say its all thanks to Nash, even if he does end up with his best stats yet. Besides once Amare is 100% the team's style and focus will change some, with a lot more aggression and a focus on getting more points from the line.
