Sleepy Bro: I have similar things to say about Dirk, as you so aptly put it....he is no way close to Larry Bird, and ain't better than Boozer in so many things....Just coz you are white and can shoot does not make you a Larry Bird in the making....Nice words there from you..I simply paraphrased.... I think we need to look at 2 things on how Nash didn;t win the MVP this year, rather than why Dirk won/deserved it more. I still think MVP is the wrong award for the wrong title. I think they either should name it the best player in the best team. Most valuable Player? Dirk or Nash??? I bet you, without Nash, Phoenix is more like Golden State Warriors.....Take him out, and the entire team suffers....But, in Dallas, you take Dirk out, you can easliy start Stackhouse and they still win 50+ regular season games... I could have made an argument on why Kobe deserves the MVP over DIRK.....take Kobe out of the lineup in Lakers, and they are a lottery team at best....KObe pushed Lakers into the playoffs....granted Phoenix made it a brief post-season... So, My MVP candidates were, Nash, Kobe, then Dirk and Duncan....Good for the NBA, I don't have the VOTE....Or else, Kobe might win every other year !
