The announcement is not official yet, but a few sources have been reporting that Steve Nash will once again be named MVP of the ‘05-06 regular season.  The Phoenix Suns didn’t skip a beat despite missing Amare Stoudemire for practically the entire year.  How many teams can rebound to a 54 win season without their best big man in the middle?  Nash deserves a lot of credit for improving the play of Boris Diaw and James Jones.  Sports Guy Bill Simmons brings up a good and hilarious point that though Nash is a good player he isn’t entirely deserving of the award.  How is Nash’s play any different to Jason Kidd’s when Kidd first arrived to the Nets, the same immediate impact and improvement by the team.  Nash is also playing a similair game that John Stockton once did but without the defense and a haircut.  Oh well, too bad to LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.  If a person from another country saw basketball for the first time and asked: Who is the best basketball player right now?  The answer isn’t Steve Nash, yet the league names him MVP for the second year in a row.  I have no objections to this, just thought the readers might enjoy another perspective.  Lastly, USA Basketball just stinks, they didn’t win a gold medal and the best player in the league for the last two years is a Canadian guy.
