The fact that Phoenix was shit without Nash when he was injured justifies this award to me. It is not about who the best or most dominant player is, it is about who is the most valuable player to his team is.

You can't tell me any of the people who voted for Nash would ever trade Shaq straight up for him. If you could, I guess there is a GM position in Toronto waiting for them.

I understand the pissing and moaning about Shaq not winning, but I think that guards are too often overlooked in the voting. AI deserved more respect as well. Nash with his smart play and amazing passing ability made his teamates much better. It may not be as amazing to some as scoring almost 30 points per game, but it definitely should not be ignored like it always seems to be when it comes to these awards.
