Nash is the MVP, without him they don't win 25 games and that's Most Valuable in my opinion.\nChris Paul for ROY, no discussion necessary.\nand yeah, Diaw gets Most Improved (4.8 to 13.5 ppg, 2.6 to 6.9 rpg and 2.3 to 6.0 apg).  And no, I'm not a Suns fan

Here are the Candidates that will win\n\n      Steve Nash:   His team is in 2nd place. He averages 20 points and 11 assists which are  better stats than he had last year when he won MVP. They do not have second best player Amare. Many of you are saying he has Shawn Marion to help him. But when did the MVP award mean do it yourself and lead your team to the playoffs. One thing an MVP should have is the ability to make other players better. Like Micheal Jordan. Steve Nash should get MVP.\n\n     Lebron James:     Is also having a great year and is improving and is a great leader. And proven to the world that he can be a 4th Quarter Player. clinched the 4th seed which they have done in 20 years. He just is not having as great as year as Steve Nash. \n\n       Kobe Bryant:         He is a great player. He has played the best of all the players. But he will not win it because his team is only the 7th seed. And Most MVP's have a winning record. Kobe needs to trust more players and pass more to win more games. But I think that is due to the inconsistency of their gameplay. But if the MVP was just who played the best Kobe would win.\n\n       \n     Allen Iverson had a great year with 33 points and 7.5 assists those are MVP numbers. But the sixers are still currently fighting to get in the playoffs. So they couldnt give it to him.  Iverson is my favorite player and he could win MVP every year but his team sucks so much.

John Stockton...\nHe is the league's all time leader in assists and steals, he did such a good job of running the team, and scored points very effciently with a silky stroke from outside.\nHe was the best point guard ever in the NBA.\nIf Jordan had not won all those championships he would certainly have won a couple.

Great question.  I think this year is so wide open.  Everyone who's a candidate has a legit reason on why they should be the MVP.  If you ask me, the MVP should be Billups but if they go James, you can't argue that.

If you mean MVP, I think they will give it to Nash. He did a great job, but this year there are many worthy candidates. If I had a vote I would give it to Nowitzki. As a Spurs fan, I could not choose between Parker or Duncan this year, both were outstanding.

M.J. until Lebron wins a title.  Lebron is a ridiculous talent but he needs to grow up a little bit more.  There is no doubt in my mind that Lebron will win some titles and in two years average a triple double.  Once he wins one for Cleveland I'll take Lebron as the best ever

The Spurs. The Pistons are very good and play like the Spurs(all D,all the time) but they don't have dominant MVP player like Duncan. Plus Parker has stepped up his game. And you can never count Ginobili out. Bruce Bowen can slow down any opposing teams top player,Oh don't forget that they have Robert Horry just waiting to pull out another game winner.\nThe Spurs have way too much depth to be messed with and if you saw sundays game, they are already on thier way to taking care of the Mavs.

your question is,"who improved better this year"? with your question, no doubt it is CARMELO. Lebron is having the same year he had last year so there's nothing great about that, its the same Lebron. On the other hand, Carmelo has stepped-up bigtime for the Nuggets. He not only increased his scoring but also became more of a team player and has the record for most baskets made under 20 seconds left in a game which resulted in wins for the Nuggets. Carmelo made 8 out of a possible 14 times given the chance to win. So that's 8 wins for the Nuggets while Lebron only has 1 out of a possible 16. So if you keep a score on gamewinning shots, its: Carmelo with 8 wins and 6 losses while Lebron has 1 win and 15 losses. So do the math who has really stepped-up?

I have to say Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon. He may have worse career points than Kareem-Abdul Jabar, who I htink is 2nd, but Hakeem led the Houston Rockets to be the champs the 2 years MJ was out. Sure, Kareems been champion way more, but he's never won the NBA Finals MVP and Hakeem has 2 of them. In my mind, that makes him better.

I don't know who should've won.  Iguodala's dunks were pretty impressive.  Especially the one from behind the backboard.  Robinson's dunks were cool, too, and he probably won because he's shorter than most people that enter the dunk contest, and he still did all those awesome dunks.  Allen Iverson was saying that Iguodala might not ever do the dunk contest again because of how he got robbed, so that's not good.  Iguodala should come back next year.

Kobe is not an MVP, end of story. He captured lots of attention for his stellar play, but no one will win when they have a ball hog on their team. Yes he did drop 81, but look where his team is now!! 7th spot of the playoffs! Wow! Great job! With out a doubt he is going to score 40 points a game in the series against Phoenix, but he will not win. An MVP is someone who makes players around him better, and helps his team reach new heights.

Kobe probably will be the MVP, but I think Shawn Marion or Steve Nash deserve it most.

Cavs are okay. Best player is probably Lebron or Kobe, I'm leaning Kobe, because he's more proven to lead his team. MVP? Should be Kobe, because without him they would probably be in last place in the Western Conference.

I think Kobe Bryant or Steve Nash should have the MVP title this year. Steve Nash has really maintained the Suns' rankings even though Amare was injured, but Kobe has been doing his best to involve his teammates as much as possible and he has set some records this year too. For me, Kobe is still the MVP for this season because he completely plays in a different level compared to other players. Steve Nash is second...

Yes they did an outstanding job without Amare. The MVP Steve Nash did a great job with his team and for sure will win another MVP honor. Shawn Marion also stepped up for the team for his great rebounding and put up some more points in the stat sheets. Yes They did lose Joe Johnson but was replaced with a player who complements the team more in the form of Boris Diaw. Other shooters also stepped up like Leandro Barbosa and Tim Thomas. The addition of Raja Bell also was an outstanding move of the management because Raja is the best 3-point shooter in the team. Well, Nash for MVP, if not it will be Shawn Marion...
