That surprises me. Nash didn't even make my radar this year as far as MVP goes.
I saw Kobe or Lebron getting it.
Please tell me that some Suns fans hacked ESPN.com and posted this, because otherwise I'm going to gouge out my eyes with a mellon-ball scooper.

Steve Nash deserves it more this year than he did last year - he really showed his value in making players who were mediocre or role players at best (Raja Bell, Boris Diaw, James Jones) look so good, and in the way the Phoenix Suns persevered despite losing Amare and Thonmas. They won't win a championship without Amare and/or Kurt Thomas, but Nash is a stronger candidate than ever before for regular season MVP. Last year I was of the belief that it should have gone to O'Neal.
Nash's main contender is Billups, IMO, who did as much for his team as Nash but led his team to a better record. Dirk put up a great stat line, but has a lot more help. Of the Spurs, Parker is the most deserving of consideration, he carried the team this year.
I'm hesitant to believe that report, I realize that the winner is usually leaked before the announcement is made, but this seems way too early.
For some reason I was under the impression that the ballots were sealed and wouldn't even be counted until just before the Conference finals were to begin.
it better be Dirk or I'm vBookie v ed.
He deserved it as much as the other guys.
No way Nash deserves to be a two time MVP
this was posted in the nba forum hours ago
this better be true, i got my vmoneys on nash!
If you give the award to Nash last year, than he most certainly deserves it this year. He led the team to the division le without amare, who many consider the best talent on the team. On top of that you add 3 new starters and a totally revamped bench, and they don't miss a beat. Give him some credit, he's taken a group of young no name players and still finished with 54 wins. The only other players who I would consider in the mix are Billups and Dirk, but both those guys have much better surrounding talent and those teams have been together longer. Nash makes everyone around him better and deserves to be the MVP. Yes, I am a Spurs fan but I can respect what he did this year and last.
Nash deserves it.
Take him off that team, and have a healthy Stoudamire on it, and they do not make the playoffs, much less win the division.
take kobe off the lakers they do not make the playoffs
take james off the cavs they do not win the playoffs
larry hughes was hurt to much to
Out of those guys, Nash got his team to win the division and not just make the playoffs.
Sorry, don't read that forum...too many trolls
I'm with you.

However, sucks for Kobe. The MVP is an individual award and Kobe deserved it this year too.
Im not a Kobe fan at all, but he and LBJ both should be ahead of Nash in the MVP voting. But oh well, I could care less.
What a joke. He will be the only back-to-back MVP who couldn't get his team to the Finals.
mvp has lost all its credibility now
John Stockton got one first place MVP vote in his entire career, and had a number of seasons as good as Nash has had. Stockton also actually played defense. MVP has become a joke.
Congrats to Nash for a well-deserved honor (and I'm not writing this in blue).
It is a done deal. Dan Patrick just announced that Nash is the MVP and Nash will be on the show in a few minutes.
Stockton also had Malone on his team and several of the greatest players in the history of the NBA to compete with for the award.
