All this talk about Steve Nash already winning the MVP? I dont understand how they know this already.  I thought they dont announce that for a few more weeks. It supposedly came out of an Arizona newspaper. I think thats a little shady.  Howd they get there info?

yeah i read that article too and they said that he had the most votes so far. they got the info from the NBA. and he is probably going to win, even if the annoucement is in two weeks.

Kobe deserves to be the MVP. First, he dunked over Nash. Second, the buzzer beater in Game 4. Finally, he's the leader of his team...

The Suns DID play kick butt last night--but I'm worried that Raja Bell may have blown it for his team. If he is suspended after clotheslining Kobe; the Suns might lack the spark he brings on the court with his shooting. It'll be hard for them to win an elimination game in the Staples Center--but anything can happen!

GO SUNS!!! I'm a Phoenix local, and these games are HUGE!! I totally hope they win. They have Bell back in the game, so the chances are even greater. Game 5 tomorrow.

Uh, yeah that bulletin was pure bullcrap. Whoever posted it is just hating on The Game. Anyone can take a random picture and put a caption to it.\n\nAs for them respecting each other, I don't think they do. The Game just wants to get on with his career, he doesn't wanna beef with 50 anymore, but he still doesn't respect him.

Hey, Ive got some OCEANFRONT property in Arizona if you believe that they buried the hatchet... Come on now, SHAQ disses Kobe every chance he gets, it is subtle, but there. The only REUNION will be KOBE standing in SHAQS house watching the BIG MAN get his ring for the first game of the season.... and seeing SHAQ smile and flash the ring at KOBE. Lakers SUCK for doing Shaq like they did, hell Phil came back for  10 MILLION, NOT KOBE, hell, he talked shit about him in his book!!!

What glory is Ben taking?? He is in the high profile position on the team. I didn't see him make a "I'm going to Disney World" commercial. I saw him on Letterman and Monday night Raw,that's it. I guess I dont watch enough TV? Oh yea,I don't think he had this accident to get publicity.Sheshhhhhhhh

I think the MVP should not be decided until at least the end of the first round. Firstly if you cant get you team in the final you shouldnt be MVP and secondly the first round could be a confirmation of the play during the season.\n\nThe winner of the Suns vs Lakers games would be enought for me to judge show should have won between Kobe or Nash. Or if Lebron explodes in the first leg of the final then we could choose lebron

Nah, Dirk isn't going to go to any Heat parties. He's going to go chill with Nash. I wonder if Nash rooted against his buddy to not win since they now both don't have rings. I wonder...

No. The NBA MVP award has yet to be given to anyone. It will be awarded later in the playoffs to... I think Nash or Kobe, after all the other awards have been given (Rookie of the Year, 6th Man, Most Improve, and Defensive Player. The Dallas coach took away the "Coach of the Year" trophy.

I see the Miami Heat winning tomorrow and the series in 6 games. I predicted this already from the start of the season. I said its gonna be the Heat against the Suns in the finals but I had a change of heart when the Clips came into the picture. Its now going to be the Heat against the Clips in the Finals.

why is this so hard to believe. The Lakers have one of the greatest coaches coaching them in the zenmaster. They have the best player in the nba in kobe bean bryant, and he came in with more chips on his shoulders because steve nash might have robbed the mvp award from him. And like you mentioned, they have a vastly improved luke walton, i have to give him credit for that because he was terrible a year ago, and lamar odom is a triple double threat any given night; he has been fantastic throughout the playoffs thus far. Also, Smush Parker's heroics and shutting down Steve Nash fairly well. Phil Jackson's Lakers have the better formula in their style of play to win in the playoffs, they play slow tempo and try to maintain control. The Suns play a more fast break style added with the three ball that they live or die on. Nash is their playmaker and locking him down breaks down the engine. The games have been close because of the freak of nature shawn marion, without him like you saw in the extra period of the last game, the suns could not buy many baskets other than on the perimeter. It never hurts to have the clutchest shooter in the game today either!

I agree with u man.  They need to be more enthusiastic and cheer them.  That may be a reason why the Lakers also didn't play with much enthusiasm against the Bucks tonight.  I think that the fans need to hype the players, so they play with more energy.  A crowd really helps, but they have to get involved.  Sadly, I'm a lakers fan and live in Hawaii.  If I was at staples you'd hear me yelling for them.

I also think it's a disgrace, especially in light of who they picked ahead of him -- Shane Battier, Gilbert Arenas, Greg Oden (high school kid)?  Give me a break.  While some people may not agree with certain aspects of his personality, nobody can deny that he plays with a whole lot of heart.  Practically, he presents matchup challenges to any team.  While his team didn't get it done last time, D. wade and Lebron James were on the team as well last time, and they both got invites.  AI, future hall of famer, doesn't deserve this snub.

No contest buddy. The playoffs are a different story: the tempo gets slower and you need to bring your game to a higher level. The suns will have to play the MVP and best active player in the nba in kobe bryant, which is no easy task. Its not even kobe either, people keep forgetting that the lakers are actually a legitimite team with a resurgent Kwame Brown living up to his potential and Lamar Odom, who is a triple double threat every night. Add smush parker and a much improved luke walton and you got the lakers going to the second round. A seven game series where the suns try to run will be their own demise. Steve Nash isnt god. Kobe Bryant will solidify his claim for the MVP.
