Steve Nash does not deserve the MVP award.  In fact I dont even know how he could be in consideration for it.  People are saying that his stats are ridiculous and that the Suns won 54 games this year after losing Joe Johnson and Quentin Richardson and having Amare out all year with his knee.  Steve Nash is the prime example of a product of the system.  When your team scores an average of 108 points a game of course your numbers are going to be inflated.  Yes hes a good jump shooter and knows how to run his offense to perfection but so do a lot of other players. 

The argument that Nash carried that team with little to no help is just plain silly.  Remember that guy Shawn Marion? I guess hes just chopped liver to most people.  There is also most improved player candidate Boris Diaw. So six or seven guys had career years this year playing with Nash.  So what?  Hes excels at the fastbreak and finding the open man.  John Stockton was the same way.  How many MVP's did he ever win?  The fact of the matter is that Nash is just a product of coaching and a system that excels at utilizing his skills.  The Suns are a run and gun team that puts up big numbers and Nash benefits from that.  

Just for kicks and giggles let me throw a scenario out there.   Lets say Nash was traded to the Spurs.  Now do you think Nash's numbers would be anywhere near what they are in Phoenix .  Of course he would most likely still lead the league in assists because he is very skilled at finding who needs the ball and getting it to them.  Like I mentioned before so was John Stockton.  However, his numbers would undoubtedly be less inflated than they are in Phoenix being that San Antonio is so much more adept to playing a slowed-down half court type of game.  He would also of course have Timmy overshadowing him as the face of the franchise.  Now in the type of offense that the Spurs run Nash wouldn't put up the numbers he does for Phoenix and would not ever be considered an MVP candidate.  Like I said, product of the system. 

Nash puts up big numbers because the system that Mike D'Antoni has in place allows him to do so.  Nash was never considered a legit MVP candidate when he played in Dallas. 
Same player, but a different team and a different system.  There are a select few of MVP-caliber players who could go play for any team and have an equal impact.  Nash is not one of those types of players.  Oh and i didn't even mention the fact that he doesn't play defense at all.  Should that not be an important factor in MVP consideration?  Does this league really only care about uptempo games with lots of fastbreaks and scoring that generate ratings?  Funny because the teams that win the title every year are the ones that play the complete opposite of that.

How about that guy up in Cleveland.  I haven't heard him get much serious consideration.  The Suns were a playoff team before Nash joined them.  When LeBron got to Cleveland they were the worst team in the league.  In 3 years he has already turned them into a playoff team.  I won't even throw his stats out there because everyone knows how good they are and they are just as impressive as Steve Nash's.

My question is are we talking about the player that is most valuable for his team or the guy who benefits from the system?  If Nash was gone the Suns might not have quite as good of a record as they did with him but with D'Antoni's system in place they would still be a playoff team.  Where would the Cavs be without LeBron?
