You bring up a good point, but yeah the NBA isn't so much about the sport now, its about how much money the people make off entertaining people. If they lose that ability it will go down the drain.

Most def Steve Nash is gonna win. Look at his numbers. 19 ppg and 11 apg. That's bananas. And look at PHX record. 42-18. Just imagine what they could've done if Amare was healthy. Probably would be better then the Pistons. But Nash has lifted his team by himself to the top of the league.

all i can say is wow.... not one person mentioned steve nash the reigning mvp. not only did he have a better season then his last years mvp season, but also his team is doing so much better. not only do they have a new roster, but he is playing with out amare, one of the most explosive and best big men in the game. still steve nash is having career highs in points assists, fg % and watever else. steve nash is also helping his teamates win other awards. such as boris diaw. who? who is boris diaw? who is raja bell? who is leandro barbosa? who is eddie house? who are these guys? all these guys are having career years, and very very good seasons. if u think anyone else, is even close to winning mvp then nash, you dont watch enough basketball. funny thing is, im not even a suns or nash fan...

Easily, Kob Bryant needs to stop being a team player and score. Stupid people don't realize that when he scores more his team has a much higher chance of winning. He should keep shooting. They also need to shut down Nash because he is the obvious key to Sun's offense. I'm sure they will pull it off.

No he does not this is where most NBA teams make mistakes.\n\n90+ Million = Irreplaceable, Untradeable in there prime, Greatness, Alters the game (SHAQ, KOBE, NASH, LEBRON) does not belonging is (REDD, KIDD, KENYON, FRANCIS, MARBURY, GARNETT<Yeah hes good but hes not the undisputed best in his position> RAY ALLEN, VINCE CARTER, BARON DAVIS)\n\n60-89 Million = Important player, Has Flashes of Greatness, Can become the focal point of a team, Top 5 in there positon (GARNETT, DWYANE WADE, LAMAR ODOM, DIRK, ARENAS, AMARE, JERMAINE ONEAL)\n\n30-59 Million = Key player, helps team when superstar gets cold, keeps team stable , often underestimated. ( HAMILTON, HUGHS , JASON TERRY, RASHARD LEWIS )\n\n\nIf you give REDD 90+ Million they will never when a championship. Look at the Knicks ! overpaying 1 player to stay will kill a team. He had a chance to play beside Lebron James for 80+ Million how did he pass that up. That's two great players that are YOUNG on the same team for years to come . Just because someone scores 25+ every night and puts up a 40 point game every now and then doesn't mean i give him " KOBE MONEY " 80-85 Million MAX!!!!!!!!! I'm not bout to pay 100+ Million to loose in the 1st round every year. Plus there a lot of guys that can do what REDD does .

Before we discuss that you have to take into consideration that teams make lots of money due to tickets, broadcasting payments and advertisements …etc, the more the money inflow the more they pay on players’ wages. The players playing in a professional team dedicate all their time to the team so its their only job, and players playing in good teams are so unique and exceptionally good that they are paid lots of money, the better and more unique the player the more they are paid, its like any other job, the better you are the more you are paid, the stronger the firm you work in the more you are paid. You can’t just find the skills of professional players anywhere, therefore teams need to compete to secure the services of the good players and the only way they can compete is by using money

Current Players Wade or Lebron, Nash, but NOT Kobe.\n\nPast Players: Magic, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan

pro NBA players minimum salary per season used to be about $850,000 to $900,000.00. This was about ten years ago. I am sure the players union has gotten Comm. Stern to up this total since then.

I think Kobe is the best player in the league.  He can score at will, & plays hard-nosed defense.  He also has the "IT" factor where he can perform under pressure & win the close games at the end.  He already has 3 rings; yes, Shaq had something to do with it, but all the greats in the history of the NBA had their counter parts (Jordan/Pippen, Magic/Kareem, etc.).  The only other player you can make an argument for is Lebron.  However, he has yet (not saying he won't) to prove himself.

Yes they will. and to bratinelle do you even know what youre saying? have you actually seen the Suns and the Mavs play this year? yeah not so great the Suns are 3-6 and the Mavs are 5-4. The Lakers are 7-3 so what now Bi@tch!?

basketball should be reflection of its player.  the argentinan singer doesn't have rap album coming out soon.  basketball has become to bland.  there aren't personalities in the league anymore.  the are a bunch of millionares worrying about their contracts and mistresses.  if you make 10 million dollars a year, what do you care about allstar weekend for.  keep enough fans happy so they will buy your 150 dollar shoes.  david stern is disconnected from his employees.  basketball is nothing how it use to be during the bird and magic era

NBA players make a lot more than NFL players.  Plus the money is guaranteed while no one in the NFL has guaranteed contracts.

I think he has a good chance.  The Suns run a lot, so the Lakers will get lots of possessions, so Kobe will get a lot of shots.

I think that the Lakers- after the Pistons and the Hornets and the Spurs- are finally playing like a team. Sure- they are getting 40 from Kobe every once in a while, but he is their superstar. Odom has been red-hot, and Smush along with a few other bench players have been doing great to give them the win. They finally realize team ball is the key. And they have taken 7th seed, 1.5 behind Memphis for 6th. The #1 thing best to do in the second half of the NBA season is heat up and go hard down the stretch of the last 30 games to make a playoff spot. You'll see- the Lakers are for real now. They've always been on and off- but I think that they all have finally realized that it's not giving it to Kobe. Kwame helps in the post, defense and offense both. Smush is a scorer, Lamar is an all-around and Kobe is the super-star. I think that the Lakers can go all the way- no joke. They've beat the Mavs, Spurs, Pistons, Heat, Clippers, but we still have the Suns. Let's go Lakers.
