Nash is the clear-cut MVP of the Suns. Without his taking the team on his back and nailing 8 of 12 threes (8 of 12!?) this is a Nugget spanking. Kinda weird to see the crowd chanting MVP for Amare. It's premature. Next year maybe, but Nash is still boss. He said the following:
"It's great [the MVP chants for Stoudemire at US Airways Center]," said the Gordon Head-raised Nash, without a hint of envy or jealousy, and in the demeanour which has become his hallmark.
"I was excited to hear those MVP cheers for Amare. They are well deserved. It's a tribute to his team play, maturity and unselfishness. The fans are supporting Amare's progress."
Um, ok, but there's a limit to Canadian politeness. How do the Suns do without Nash? Not. Very. Well. In fact I'd venture they wouldn't even be in the playoff picture. Conversely, without Amare they wouldn't have a shot at the le. So it's sort of symbiotic. It's interesting to compare Marion's stats pre and post Nash. Pg % is remarkable.
