April 15, 200719 yr Who has a severely busted shoulder that will need off season surgery. Yeah.....I'm suprised he's even still playing.
April 15, 200719 yr But that is not any reason to say that Nash should not be the MVP just because he has a better cast around him. And I can't believe that Kobe is more important to the Lakers than Nash is to the Suns when the Suns are 2-4 when Nash is out of the lineup and the Lakers are 3-3 with Kobe not playing. I would agree that Nash and Dirk are the clear front runners for the MVP.

April 15, 200719 yr Without Kobe: 3-3 Without Nash: 2-4 I don't feel like doing the research, could somebody post the teams they played without their stars because that makes a huge difference imo.

I would agree that Nash and Dirk are the clear front runners for the MVP. Read post 41.....Kobe has zero chance at the MVP this season, but the fact remains that the Suns are better without Nash than the Lakers without Kobe. One of the reasons the Suns record is worse is because they have to change the entire style of play when Nash isn't on the floor. It's hard to make those adjustments in a one game situation. The Lakers run the triangle offense....If ran properly it's much easier to do a mix and match so to speak.

Suns:2-4 Wins: Phily, Portland Losses: Utah, Atlanta, Chicago, and Seatlle Lakers: 3-2 not 3-3 Wins: Pheonix(first game of season), Golden State, Atlanta Losses: Knicks, Bucks
April 15, 200719 yr Sorry I was wrong. The Lakers are 3-2 without Kobe, 37-38 with him. They lost to the Knicks and Bucks without him, beat the Suns, Warriors and Hawks without him. With Nash out the Suns beat Portland and Philly and lost to Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta and Utah.
April 15, 200719 yr If not Nash then clearly Dirk. The old "best player on the best team" theory definitley applies with him.
April 15, 200719 yr Nash tonight vs. Utah. 13 points, 18 assists and ZERO turnovers vs. a team that has 49 wins. I am not a Suns fan or hater, it is just that it seems that night in and night out that Nash gets the job done and it is extremley rare to see him have a horrible game.

I am not a Suns fan or hater, it is just that it seems that night in and night out that Nash gets the job done and it is extremley rare to see him have a horrible game. Like I said b4 its a lot easier to have those stats with the support Nash has. Almost everyone on his team at least has a good night everynight and is an all star caliber player. Look at the supporting cast that kobe has and show me Amare, or Marion, or even a Bell or Barbosa type player to help him. The suns are a better team without Nash than the lakers are without Kobe making him the most valuble to his team...... How many players on the suns bench could start on many other teams. How many players on the lakers team could even make another teams roster. If Nash is so great then what happens to him in the playoffs he hasnt even made the finals with the team he has he should be in the finals year in and year out. Just because nashs team wins more games through out the season doesnt mean that he should be ahead of KOBE ar anyone for that matter in the MVP race.. Nash is a great player on a great team. Kobe is a great player on a team that couldnt beat the florida gators without him. enough said
April 15, 200719 yr Suns:2-4 Wins: Phily, Portland Losses: Utah, Atlanta, Chicago, and Seatlle Lakers: 3-2 not 3-3 Wins: Pheonix(first game of season), Golden State, Atlanta Losses: Knicks, Bucks Thanks bro. :thumb:
April 15, 200719 yr Kobe Bryant- 31.3 ppg 5.7 rpg 5.4 apg 3.4 turnover pg 45.2 fg 34.4 3pt fg 86.9 ftpct. 11 double doubles this year. Steve Nash- 18.8 ppg 3.5 rpg 11.6 apg 3.8 turnover pg 53.4 fg 46.0 3pt fg 89.8 ftpct. 52 double doubles this year. Kobe averages more points and rebounds and .4 less turnovers per game. Nash shoots better from the field, free throw line and shoots better from the 3 point line than Kobe shoots overall from the field even. And Nash has 52 double doubles in comparison to Kobe's 11 for the year and both players have played the same amount of games. Nash's turnover to assist ratio is much better than Kobe's as well. There is no way that Kobe deserves the MVP over Nash or Nowitski for that matter. If Nash were not to win then it should certainly be Nowitski. I realize that a Kobe fan is not going to accept this and that is fine. But it is just not true that Kobe would deserve MVP over either Nowitski or Nash.
April 15, 200719 yr Author FOR THE LAST TIME NO ONE SAID HE SHOULD BE THE MVP. :lol: I don't know who you are arguing with.
