I think Kobe Bryant. I mean, making two carrer-high in one year is amazing. First was 62 then 81. And Kobe was able to bring the Lakers back to the playoff picture. He brought his young teamates to the playoffs. Even though they wont survive first-round, he still beat the odds and is back in the playoffs. So I say Kobe is deserving for the MVP award.

He shot 44% from 3, 6th best in the league.\nHe shot 92% from the free throw line, first in the league.\nHis field goal percentage was 52%, which would be great for a center or a power forward, positions much closer to the basket, and is a field goal percentage that Michael Jordon only accomplished 4 times during his 15 year career.\nHe is number one in the league in assists, for the second straight year, a catagory which is often overlooked in favor of points, but is more helpful for making a team win.\n\nThe team that he has been on, for the last 5 years, has had the number one rated offense in the league, as in points scored. It was Dallas for 3 years, then when he came to Phoenix, they had the number one rated offense. Its no coincidence.\n\nHe runs the offense better than any other player in the league, and even though Kobe puts up a ton of points, and Lebron gets stats accross the board, Nash has more of an impact on his team winning. Phoenix lost two of their best players, in Joe Johnson and Amare Stoudamire this year, and they continued to win. Nash is deservedly given credit for this.\n\nAn MVP has to make their team win, as well as have very impressive stats. Nash has both.\n\nHis only weakness, is his defense. So, while I would argue that Nash should win over Kobe, since Kobe isn't always a team player, and Lebron, since he isn't quite as smooth as Nash at running an offense yet, and also isn't a good defender (yet), I would possibly choose Elton Brand or Chauncey Billups as MVP over Nash, since they play amazingly on both sides of the ball. Kobe is a good defender too, but still plays more of an individual game than a team game.\n\nSo yes, Nash deserves the MVP over some, but maybe not over others. Either way, it's a tough choice to argue with.\n\nAnd he's an obvious hall of famer. You don't win two MVPs and not go to the hall. Record breaking? Perhaps for assists. Irrelevent, either way, in the MVP debate.

Nash.  The Arizona Republic reported it a week ago though it remains unofficial.  Kobe is a great player, probably the BEST player in the league.  But, Steve Nash is the most VALUABLE player.  Where would the Suns be without him?  He makes everyone who plays with him better!

Steve Nash does pick-and-roll with perfection. He can also shoot accurately, and his left hand can pass as good as his right hand.

Well the fact that he scored 81 is what will push him ahead of james and nash. Pluss all those times he was averaging 35 and 40 points for consecutive games. Also the fact that he is on a winning team and took them to the playoffs after missing it last season. Cause u cant be mvp on a losing team otherwise u wouldnt be very valuable.

Suns star Steve Nash will be named the NBA's Most Valuable Player for a second straight season, according to a league source familiar with the voting. He'll win because he makes the players around him better. He transformed no name players like Boris Diaw, Eddie House, Leandro Barbosa, and Raja Bell into premier role players.

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.

Agree.Mainly because of the Nash vs. Kobe for MVP thing going on.

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.

yes, steve nash has not been the best player these past 2 years, but he has been the most valuable player to his team. Lets run down the list on the things he did this year.\n1. led the league in assists\n2. led the league in free throw percentage\n3. made 8 players on his team have career years\n4. won 54 games without Amare Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, Quentin Richardson, and all the other players from last year.\n5. Increased his scoring, and 3 point percentage.\n\nI mean this guy is the best point guard ever, he makes everyone around him better, if youl ook at steve nash walking down the street you wouldnt say that guyis a 2 time mvp, He is not very quick, hes not strong, and hes not intimidating, but he is elusive, and a real treat to watch.

he is going to be the next steve nash. he can carry his team with scoring 30 points and 8 assissts or have 10 points with 14 assists. hes all around and talented combine point guard  without the heights. take a time to watch at least 10 games of him and see what i mean, hes the baron davis for the new orleans Hornets and can be better. he can lead bad team to the playoffs , he almost did last year and won the rookie of the year gaining most of the 1st place vote

Lebron will become the MVP best active player in basketball. Fills all stats points assists, steals, rebounds, blocks. He leads the Cavs and they are doing better now then I could ever remember before.\nWade Is great for points and steals. I think that D Wade is in the top 5 of active players.\nI think it will be ! win Cavs and 1 win for the Detroit.\nthe scores will be 95 (cavs) 92 (Detroit)\n85 (cavs) 88 (Detroit)
