Sergio Rodriguez\n\nThis young point guard may fill the Suns most pressing need, a back up and successor for Steve Nash.  Rodriquez nicknamed "Spanish Magician", owns a variety of offense weapons, but is at his best when breaking down defenders with his lethal crossover, or feeding a teammate for an easy basket.  Rodriguez is blessed with incredible quickness and ball handling ability that make taking any defender 1-1 appear effortless.  He has the uncanny ability to see passing lanes before they open up, thus enabling him to nearly always make the right decision with the ball. While not incredibly gifted athletically, like Nash, Sergio always finds a way to get the shot up, or draw the foul when around the basket. Hits open shots, especially in the clutch, and shoots the three ball well enough to keep any defender honest. \n\nAn ideal Suns point guard that loves to run the fast break, using his extreme quickness and good finishing ability to convert most of the time. Quickness and anticipation make him a capable ball hawk, as well as a solid off the ball defender.  His nickname (The Spanish Magician) fits him well, sometimes it appears the moves he makes, and the passes he fires, aren't real.  \n\nThe Suns, a smallish team, has performed well in the new up-tempo offensive focused NBA.  The Suns, however, has suffered when Steve Nash misses a game or any significant minutes during competitive games against tough opponents.   Leandro Barbosa, Eddie House, and Raja Bell, though all capable and talented offensive players at the 2 guard position, are not nearly as effective at the point guard spot as Rodriguez can be.\n\nRodriguez could fill that void as an able replacement for Nash during games, while being groomed as the 32 year-old Steve Nash's successor.  Nash has looked worn out in the playoffs and may soon be on the downside of his career.  Giving Nash a capable back-up will alow the Suns to reduce Nash's minutes, thereby making him more effective late in games.  \n\nWatching how Devin Harris' game has elevated Dallas this year, leads me to belive that another talented point guard could be just what the doctor ordered to get the Suns over the hump.

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.

The Phoenix Suns are definately slacking. The team this year looks nothing like the championship contenders from last year's NBA Finals. They are trying to get Amare Stoudamire back into rotation which is a bit challenging because it changes the lineup a bit. If you think about it, the Mavericks are off to a bad start too. In due time, the team may get better, but they need to improve quickly.

Yeah agreeing with the others I work for the Phoenix suns arena and they have been talking about how Nash won the MVP award

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.

MVP is for the regular season son the playoffs have nothing to do with it. Who got there team to the #2 seed in the western confrence, which is probably the better confrence. Kobe scores alot of points but he didnt make any one better on his team during the regular season. Nash got the 2 seed with out his best player Amare Stoudimire. Hands down it is nash, seven players on suns averaged career high in points this season. If kobe had been playing team basketball all season he could of easily won the mvp.

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...

Its the Lakers and Kobe fault. KOBE suppose to be the MVP. Mr. 81 points man. THe superstar. They choke badly. They been beating the Suns all that time and couldn't keep it up come on. Its manly Kobe to blame. You the MVP of the team, you suppose to take the over the game when the team is in that big hole. Thats what great players do. And people calling him the next JORDAN or better than Jordan. PLEASE. T-Mac and the Rockets last year was down by over 10 points. T-Mac took over and score 13 points in 35 seconds AGAINST THE SPURS. SUNS dont play defense. He had over 7 minutes to make a big comeback. KOBE know his team wasn't hitting nothing so he should've taken over like great players do. Like Bird, MJ, T-Mac, AI, Magic, Oscar, Hakeem. Good LORD,  Anthony Johnson, took over for the Pacers to try and stay alive in the playoffs. Yeah they lost but you got to admire that he did was trying to pull off a victory.

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.

I'll give him the 1st one \nbut I don't think he deserved the second one \nI don't really understand why he won it \neverybody gives him credit for all the suns succes but by doing this they are discrediting the team, the have a very tallented team which would make it alittle easier to get alot of assists \n\n think players like Dirk,Lebron and Kobe litterally carried their teams last year If it was up to me I would have givin it to dirk\n\nTo earn 2 mvp trophys u have to do more than what nash has done

If he comes back at 100% yeah he was an awesome talent...but even at 100% he would have to overcome two great teams in the Western Conference...I can see the Suns reaching 60 but that doesn't get he the Western Conference Championship..between teams of the upper echelon in the West I don't think home court advantage is going to mean that much San Antonio had it this year..so number of wins isn't a guarantee of a championship...without changes I still think it will be competitive between the top three in the west Dallas Phoenix and San Antonio but i still see it in this order Dallas and San Antonio and then closely followed by Phoenix.....and the Eastern Conference is becoming a non issue the best teams seem to be headed downhill. Thats how I would sum it up with a complete recovery of Stoudemire which I dont think is very likely.

Suns will win, Raja has friends who support him in PHX. Where's Kobe's support...NOWHERE...(except maybe the bought off refs, wife, league officials etc.) The Suns are in the Lakers heads. I know Phil Jack-Off is spin master but skills are skills and Nash & Co. have got them to pay the bills.
