Who is going to be the nba's mvp(most valuable player)? Will it be steve nash , kobe bryant , or dirk nowitzk

it wont be kobe not after that performance against the clippers. even though he scored 50 his team lost, thats the bottom line and they blew a 17 pt lead too. thats unacceptable. when kobe had his streak of 50 pt games he did it against bad teams and its no coincidence he won them all. whenever kobe has the ball, the lakers just stand around and watch. kobe doesnt trust his teammates anymore. and kobes MVP votes will be linked with how well his team does. its pretty much between nash and dirk. but i think it should be nashs trophy again. he really does make his team better. when nash was out 4 straight games, the suns went 1-3 and lost 3 straight against teams like atlanta and seattle. without nash, phx is very average. in the mavs/suns games, nash always seems to shine in the OTs and dirk doesnt. without dirk i still think the mavs are formidable.

i agree

Pretend this was Nash's first year with the Suns, he would win MVP....you can't count on the fact that he's won previous two...he is the most valuable player...you saw that when he went out, they became a lottery team. Without Dirk, the Mavs would still make the playoffs, and Dirk hasn't proven to handle pressure situations properly (choked last year in finals, and choked against Phoenix) Kobe, he is the best player in the NBA, but he isn't the most valuable...if he was, he would have the Lakers around the 4th-5th seed...not almost out of the playoff race. So I go with Nash, the guy who changes a lottery team to a championship team...now that's an impact

You can immediately eliminate Kobe because his team is bottom seed in the playoffs and is just squeeking into the 7th or 8th spot. It is after all a team sport not an individual one. I 100% guarntee that Kobe will not win MVP like him or not. There is no way that LA will get past round 1 of the playoffs. They are likely matched up against Phoenix and they will crush them in 4 (max 5 games). If you can't get past round 1 you aint the MVP...period. That leaves Dirk and Steve. Steve Pros 1. Steve has had another monster year 2. They recently beat the Mavs twice Cons 1. Steve has won twice already and is less likely to be given a 3rd go. 2. The Suns are 2nd seed to the Mavs in the West. 3. Steve had a recent injury and was out for several games with Shoulder problems. 4. The Suns have struggled a bit lately. They lost to Houston and barely beat LA. Dirk Pros 1. Awesome season 2. Top Seed Team and highest winning record in the NBA of all teams. Cons 1. Lost to the Suns twice recently. Conclusion I love Steve Nash (he is my favorite player), but this year you have to give it to Dirk. I'd say watch for the Suns to reach the 3rd round and the Mavs to go to the finals.

Nash should be MVP, but he won't win. Kobe does not deserve the MVP and won't win, despite what you think. Dirk is deserving of it and will win it.

i think Dirk would be the MVP =P well i hope that steve nash would be the MVP but i think Dirk needs a chance =D

Nash easily

I agree that Kobe would be one of the best candidates for the MVP this year. He is the definition of "scorer" for the NBA. Scoring-wise, he has the most complete game of anyone in the league. There is nothing you can do to stop him, including fouling him. However, you can't look at just individual performance. Otherwise, it would just be the NBA scoring champ each year taking home the MVP. The MVP is awarded on that basis, to the player most valuable to their team. For that reason, I say Steve Nash is still the frontrunner for MVP this year. Without him, the Suns are nothing. Sure, they have the players, but they can't connect. Remember when he went out with those few games with the injured shoulder, near about the All-Star break? They were terrible and looked out of sync. Games like that go to show that Steve Nash IS the Phoenix Suns. They have shaped an entire franchise around him; Mike D'Antoni even draws all his plays around Nash. And all the while, Nash makes everyone else play better. The season before Nash came to Phoenix, the Suns were 29-53. A season later, they finished 62-20, a league best. This year, they are 2nd in wins. Besides that, remember Joe Johnson? They traded him to Atlanta for Boris Diaw in 2005. Guess who had the career year and Most Improved Player award? Diaw. While Kobe is there putting up 50+ point games every now and then, Nash is there putting up 20+ point, 12+ assist games every game. The difference? Nash's strategy gets everyone else involved, and wins them games. Why else do you think the Suns are second in the NBA, while the Lakers are struggling for the 8th seed? Now, this by no means goes to say that Nash could take Kobe in a game of one-on-one. But that's not what the MVP is about. Without Kobe there, the Lakers can still win. Luke Walton and Lamar Odom are excellent, intelligent players. Everyone else just needs to score more. But take Nash out of the equation for the Suns, and they fall apart. Steve Nash is the Most Valuable Player in the NBA.

it's either kobe bryant or steve nash...i don't like dirk nowitzki to be the MVP
