Are the Nash haters still around?

Last year when Nash won the MVP award so many people were bashing the guy. He's followed up that year with an even better year - without Amare Stoudemire which many credited for Nash's success last year. I don't know if he can beat out Lebron and some others but I think this guy has proven a lot. As for me I like this player because I like guys that make the people around them better.

Of course if Gilbert won the MVP (he won't I know) I'd be thrilled! :)

Next year... Next year... Don't you worry your pretty little head.

Nash deserved it last year and, if he wins it, will be deserving of it this year. He is a great ball player, and is, without a doubt, the most valuable player on the Suns, and one of the most valuable in the association.

I didn't understand why he got so much **** last year for winning it. The NBA (*and to a much further degree, ESPN) promotes its stars to an absurd level (at the expense of players like Gil and Nash), that I think people were just shocked that someone who isn't a marquee name could win it. He should get it again this year. Phoenix loses Amare, Joe Johnson, and Q, and replaces them with Boris Diaw, Raja Bell, and a mannequin at C, and are still the 3rd best team in the West, and 4th best overall, and they did it without someone who scores 35 ppg on 40 shots/game. It's obviously going to Kobe or LeBron, but I'd argue that Nash has less talent around him and has a much better team than both.

*cough* nobody wants to admit that a white boy can ball and wants to play it off as a fluke *cough*

I totally agree with you. Steve Nash is always disregarded for how great he plays. Yes he gets media attention , but hes done great for so long on a consistent basis that he doesnt enough. Nash in my opinion is the best point guard in the NBA . He makes everybody around him better and he is also a good scorer. For example, Rajah Bell. Bell's points per game average has gone up 2.5 from last year , which isnt a big difference , but he is way more of a scorer now than any of his previous years in the league. Another example is Tim Thomas. After being picked up by the Suns , he had 23 points in his first game. Before that , Thomas was struggling to even score ten points. The most obvious reason is the play of the team when Nash isnt in. The point total , field goal percentage and many other offensive stats are down when Nash isnt playing.
