Sources say Steve Nash edged out Kobe and Lebron for MVP.

200...........

I love you man. If you need anyone to shave your back, just holla

Yeah Fuck Kobe. He ratted me out about some chick. Fuck That Guy!

Now thats some funny ass shit. Didn't even realize my typo bro. Hope the wife didn't get mad

muahahaha

I think she wears the pants man!

Probably already been said, but I highly doubt they give it to Nash again, otherwise they would've given it to shaq like 3-4 years in a row

Can't wait till they make it offical

He certainly deserves it

Kobe opted for home court

I heard Nowitski is 3rd and Bryant 4th. That's fucked up.

Kobe would surely feast on this pic once NBA crowns Nash

It will be ironic when Phoenix and Mr. MVP Nash(with all the help he has) doesn't make it out of the first round, but Kobe and the Lakers do....

nash deserves it

This shouldn't even be an issue. You guys are racist against the white man. LOL

Everyone says Kobe is the best player, that should be MVP, but in case you want to make a point of "most valuable to your team", Kobe wins there too. The only only legit player on the Lakers is Lamar Odom. The Suns are stacked and Marion is a legitimate MVP candidate himself. There is some statistic out there that shows how valuable a player is to his team. Kobe is number 1, Nash is number 2 according to this statistic. I should dig it up. Nash is a great player. He's fun to watch, but he's not as good as Kobe. He can score and assist(shines) well. Kobe can score a lot (35 ppg) assist and rebound fairly well(10 last night) play good D, is like 9th in steals, shoots high percentage of free throws, shoots like 45 percent(including 3 pointers I think) and also there's the clutch factor. He's the best overall player period. I hear a lot of people say he's the best, but not MVP, I cannot understand this logic. He scores 35 PPG(highest since Jordan in 87) has a 81 point game, 62 points in 3 quarters, breaks a bunch of Laker records, but still can't win MVP cuz people don't want to give it to a 7th seed. MVP doesn't mean most valuable player on one of the best teams... Seed shouldn't matter. The fact that he got the Lakers to the 7th seed after last year with the talent he has on the rest of the team is remarkable.

The NBA MVP award is just bullshit in my mind now. It's so subjective and political. Kobe is the real MVP, Iverson probably should have been the real MVP last year.

Shaq was 2nd in voting last year and supposedly Nowitski is ahead of Kobe this year. That tells you how much bullshit and politics is in the NBA MVP.

Kevin (NY): hey B.J., how do you feel about Nash winning
his second MVP over Kobe???

B.J. Armstrong: (2:28 PM ET ) It's very interesting, the
criteria of a most valuable player. But in order to
understand the game, you have to have been in the game. As a
former player, when you start evaluating the MVP in a
league, there's only one thing to consider - the best.
There's nothing about making your teammates better, just the
best. Let's hope that 10 years from now we don't look back
and see that we didn't give the best player the MVP, which
is Kobe Bryant, because of some rhetoric and hype.

Nash over Kobe for MVP? What a joke.

Word leaked Wednesday morning that Steve Nash will be named this year's MVP. While it won't be officially announced for some time, it looks like it's a done deal. And we think it's absurd.

The fact that Steve Nash is going to win the award isn't the problem. The problem is that Kobe Bryant didn't. Honestly, what more could Kobe have done this season to win the MVP? It's a joke. And what makes the whole thing even more outrageous is that his losing out is clearly personal. To be blunt, he didn't win it because the people with the votes just don't like him. And that's a shame.

Heading into this season, if someone asked you to make a list of what Kobe would have to do in the 2005-06 NBA season to win the MVP, what would you have said? Something like that Kobe would have to show that he's the best player in the NBA and he would have to take that god-awful Lakers team to the playoffs hahaha8212; not an easy thing to do in the Western Conference.

So what did Kobe do? Here are three numbers: 81, 62 and 35.4. The 81-point explosion against the Raptors in January completely eclipsed the fact that he gave the Mavericks 62 in just three quarters a few weeks prior. His 35.4 points per game, easily enough to secure him the league's scoring title, was the eighth-highest single-season scoring average in league history and the most since MJ put up 37.1 points per game back in '87. No. 8 put together two separate streaks this season where he scored 40 or more points in four straight games.

Let's be blunt: Kobe Bryant is clearly the best basketball player in the world.

We've said it so many times: Steve Nash's supporting cast includes Shawn Marion (a guy who should have received some MVP attention) and Boris Diaw (potentially the NBA's Most Improved Player).

But if you substituted any other elite NBA shooting guard for Kobe Bryant and kept that same Lakers supporting cast, L.A.'s season would have been very, very different. Is there any doubt that Los Angeles would have finished with a record that was just as abysmal as that of the Knicks, Raptors or Trail Blazers?

Kobe didn't barely get the Lakers to the playoffs, just scraping out the eighth seed. They finished seventh, were firmly entrenched in the playoff picture for much of the year, and their 45-game win total in the West was more than all but four teams in the Eastern Conference. With complimentary pieces like Chris Mihm, Devean George, Brian Cook and Sasha Vujacic surrounding Kobe, 45 wins in the Western Conference is nothing short of a miracle.

So why no love for Kobe? Like we said earlier, it's strictly personal. There's no other explanation. The writers with the votes just don't like him. They're blurring their feelings about Kobe as a person with how they view him as a basketball player.

We've been hearing all year that Kobe shouldn't win the MVP because he "doesn't make the players around him better." We don't necessarily agree, but if that's what we're basing this on, then by all means, give Steve Nash the "Makes Those Around Him Better Award" and be done with it.

Kobe perfectly fits the two criteria that voters traditionally use when deciding on an MVP: he's the best player in the league and he's invaluable to his team.

Kobe Bryant is the NBA's Most Valuable Player.

It's not even close.
