Scottie Pippen, Ian Connor, or whatever other analyst wants to snipe Nash's MVP. SHUTUP ALREADY!!!
Are you serious? Have any of you been watching the NBA playoffs. Did anyone tune in to game 6 against the Lakers in LA when the MVP dropped 32 points to go with 13 assists. Not to mention all the baskets he set up. He outdueled Kobe's 50 + not just by scoring but by setting up his teammates. He is one for one in game 7's this playoffs. So stop hating on him.
Outperformed this series? Its going to game 7 isn't it? He had one poor game where he scored just 8 points but even then he had 11 assists. He has a bum ankle and chronic back problems and doesn't have the size to just rely on posting up. He makes his money with quickness and shooting and his shot went through a cold stretch but he has STILL been able to create for his teammates. He has had a double double in all but two of the 6 games. Including games of 31 points and 12 assists, 17 points 13 assists, and 7 boards, and a horrible game of 17 points and 11 assists. If anything Nash has been MORE MVP like than before the playoffs started.
I am sick of all the haterade and the Do you wish you voted elsewhere questions? For who? Kobe? Nash knocked him out. Lebron? Terrific terrific playoffs and well deserving of any votes but he is knocked out so if you voted for Nash over him in the first place I don't see how that should change. Nowitzki? Couldn't put away the Spurs in two elimination games and took a forced rushed shot in game 6.
But Cassell has been so terrific. Sam Cassell is always terrific in the postseason. He is the MVP of the Clippers. period. This has been a great series and should be a great game 7. But I expect the MVP Steve Nash to come through again.
So while you Hate on Nash for shooting poor in this series I will give him props for still finding a way to get his dimes and scoring average in the 2nd round of the playoffs WHILE his ankle, back, and body hurts AND his three's are off.
Everytime I have watched Nash this postseason I have seen him as MORE of an MVP than before. Including when he blew game 4 against the Lakers and took all the blame.
Kobe is a great scorer. But MVP? No. He makes no one around him better. I don't kow how to make it any clearer than that. LeBron? Could've been MVP, I wouldn't have had a problem with that. Nash won, in my opinion, because of this: The expectations for the Suns this year were not very high, based on what they lost off of last year's team and the new faces they had. They didn't miss a beat in a lot of ways. Three reasons-Nash, Shawn Marion, and Mike D'Antoni. One more thing-any award where there is a vote to determine the winner is to be taken for what it is-subjective opinions. You just read mine. Thanks for taking the time to read.
nash is the MVP... PERIOD. 6 count them 6 of his teammates had there highest scoring averages ever. Including one Most Improved Player award winner. Nash is incredible and he is doing it in the playoffs TOO. now 4-0 in game 7's. 29 points 11 dimes last night. Its all NASH!!!!
