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.

No. He takes far too many shots and in no way does he support the team he's on. Give it to Steven Nash again, he's the guy of the decade.

So Kobe can score more than every othe NBA player? Big deal. Even if that makes him the most skilled player in the NBA, it doesn't make him the most valuable player. Steve Nash-led teams(Suns and Mavs) have led the league in scoring for 4 out of the past 5 years, and if you ever watched the Suns even once this year and compare them to last year, you can see that Nash made the players around him better. I could write an article on why Nash deserves the MVP award.

If your talking abut floor generals, then yes he is the one of the best along with Nash.\nIf your talking about all the leaders in the NBA, head coaches included. HELL NO

Hello!? Did someone say Phoenix? Well I hate to say this being a Nash fan, but the Suns have NO answer for Kobe Bryant. This guy showed us that he can pass when the stakes are high and chips are low. He pumped it into Odom and company while grabbing 29 or whatever for himself. This guy scored 81, so the Suns HAVE to guard him tight, or he'll SMOKE them. However, when they guard him with 2 guys he is sooo good at finding the open man. \n\nEither way the Suns are FOOL--fresh out of luck.

Kobe should be but I believe Nash has already won it.

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.

no way. even though he had a nice year and a nice record. that doesnt only make him the mvp. steve nash in my mind repeats as mvp. not only is he having a better year then last year (he was mvp last year), but he also is helping his teammate boris diaw be the front runner in the most improved player award. he has lead his team without amare one of the most versatile and explosive big men in the league. steve nash wins hands down. kobe will win it when he does more then score points. lebron wins it in a couple years.

The Lakers are not going to win against the Suns in Pheonix. Even though the Suns are playing at home thats not the biggest reason why they are going to win. The biggest reason the Suns are gonna win is because of their depth. They have different makers coming off the bench and all the Lakers have is Kobe. Kobe is a fantastic player but as you can see in the last game they cant win if he scores almost more than half of his team's points. Basketball is a team sport and if you dont make your team mates better than you will lose the game. And who makes his team better than Steve Nash?? Thats why hes the MVP for the second time in a row.

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.

Well, yes.  Its Steve Nash, the league MVP. He's also the most fun to watch.

In all seriousness it is very possible for the suns to win. Steve Nash has a good bunch of productive years ahead of him and Amare will be putting fear into the hearts of men for many years to come (you don't get called the future of the NBA by Shaq for no reason). A couple trades here and there and some smart money moves could have them winning it all before 2010.

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. The announcement may not come for two weeks, like last season's May 8 ceremony.

One of the criteria for NBA MVP should always be making one's teammates better. Nash does that. Kobe does not. He's made efforts before in the past, but it never lasted for very long (see his 81-point "performance") I'm speaking from the standpoint of a former Laker fan who was a fan until they traded Shaq. And before anyone calls me a "bandwagoner", I was a fan during the "Showtime" era and continued watching through Magic's retirement and through the Shaq & Kobe era until Kobe got Shaq traded. Also, an MVP never skulks off the court without so much as a congratulations to the winning team.

I would like to see Kobe be more of a team  player like Nash who passes to his teammates.I know he is the best player on the Lakers,but win a few games more with Kobe as a team player.

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

Dwayne wade will get the finals mvp if they win. Steve Nash wont get it since he cant even beat the maverics.
