Nash definetly doesnt deserve the mvp award thats horrible right there
Nash getting another MVP award is just bull .
If people are going to be like that they need to just vote for Kobe or LBJ instead of a dude that can't seem to come up with any answers when a playoffs is over.
Nash definetly doesnt deserve the mvp award thats horrible right there
pity is what it is to me.. you don't get far with pity..
then officials are saying that ben wallace will win the defensive player of the year award again thats bs....damn this is ing ridiculous
i won't dog ben wallace because the ugly dude goes out there and does what nobody else hardly can and play defense. all i can say is when popularity out-weighs who deserves it then you have a serious problem. and a welcome to the typical NBA floomat.
yes its a ing popularity contest, but even so, im sorry to say it but Kobe Bryant deserves the MVP award more than any other player....this man carried a nobody team to the playoffs.....nash has a real team of players, Nash, Marion, Bell, Diaw, both Thomas', i mean who does kobe have??? exactly it was all just some politcal bull or something.....as for as DPY......Bruce clearly beats any other player in the league....Bruce's defense is stealer and consitantly locks down prime time players....this is a freaking travesty
I don't like Kobe either but I agree that he is the MVP. Most Valuable Player.
Odom is some flippy flopping trash. Smush Parker is laughable. Brian Cook is slower than corn syrup running uphill, and Kwame is the only bit of future I see in anyone they have. And Kobe truely does it by himself.
Maybe that bas Phil came back for that reason. To help Kobe and make him a leader among boys?
Whatever the case, if Nash gets MVP I would just assume Duncan could have gotten it too then.
exactly i have to completely agree with you on that,
Look, Kobe is the best individual player in the league. But you look at the guys who play with Nash and look like stars, and try and recall where they were before the joined Nash.
Eddie House was waived by the freaking Bobcats. Tim Thomas was a bum and a cancer; he was D-U-N done for all practical purposes before he got to Phoenix. Diaw was averaging 4 ppg on the lowly Hawks, and is now a triple-double threat.
This team has no serviceable big man left. After Amare went down, their only legitimate "big" in Kurt Thomas got injured. Brian Grant and his knees have been MIA since he was dealt by Miami to LA. They still won 54 games. And before you start over-rating D'Antoni, this was the coach who won a whopping 21 games with Amare, Marion and Joe Johnson. Nash arrived, he won 62 and COY.
Spurs fans have a short memory. We beat the Suns in 5 all right, by shutting down the others; we couldn't stop Nash and Amare on the pick-n-roll. How many easy dunks and layups did Amare get off the pnr? Pop said something to the effect that Nash and Amare made the Stockton and Malone pick-n-roll look like kid stuff.
Yes, he can't play a lick of defense. But has any other team won 54 games in the West with a bunch of SFs and guards: their entire rotation right now is either SFs (Marion, Tim Thomas, Diaw, James Jones) or guards (Nash, Bell, House, Barbosa). He's pulled off something neither Kobe nor LeBron could. Heck, LeBron has a better supporting cast and won 4 games less in the East.
so you're saying Nash is more popular than Lebron, Kobe, etc???
no.. dont go out of context. we're speaking about DPOY.
So NBA did the right thing picking Nash right?
Great points all around... and the fact that D'Antoni inherited a team mid-season that was already losing a lot and dealing with injuries to Amare's ankle... trying to change a whole philosophy is very difficult with young players, so the addition and leadership of Nash including a fresh start the next season helped the team win 62 games... while also adding some players that would buy into the system
And before you jump to the conclusion that Kobe was robbed, just cast your eye over this comparison:
1986-87
Michael Jordan: 37.1 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 4.6 APG, 48.2% FGP, 40 wins did not win the MVP
1988-89
Michael Jordan: 32.5 PPG, 8.0 RPG, 8.0 APG, 54% FGP, 47 wins did not win the MVP.
2005-06
Kobe Bryant: 35.2 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 4.5 APG, 45% FGP, 45 wins, no MVP
What makes you think Kobe was robbed. Michael had a far better year on those two occassions. Guess who he lost to? Magic, whose team won 65 and 57 wins in those 2 years respectively.
For all those who say Kobe's doing it without a good supporting cast: Jordan in 86-87 had Charles Oakley as the 2nd best player on the Bulls. A far cry from Bryant who has Odom. Magic on the other hand was playing with a few gentlemen by the names of Kareem, Worthy, Scott, Cooper, AC Green; each of who was better than Oakley. At least Odom is comparable to Marion, and the Lakers have bigs who are way better than Phoenix's.
Bottomline: history is repeating itself. Jordan's one-man army lost the MVP to Magic and his stacked teams. Kobe is losing it to Nash, who doesn't have that strong a team that Magic had.
wow good point. what were Magic's stats that year?
