Should Shaun Alexander have won the MVP last year? Lots of other players were more deserving.?

This is the most stupid question i have herd on yahoo... u must be an idiot (which you are) not to realize he broke a record in touchdowns and he had the most yards for a running back in the nfl.. and he was one of the main reason why the seahawks went to the super bowl

There is a difference between MVP and a player of the year. Kobe could and should be both,but the NBA only gives out an MVP award and they usually give it to people on teams that are at the top of the league. So most likely Steve Nash or Chauncey Billups will get it,although Kobe is having an amazing season and is the only reason why the Lakers are seventh. Go Lakers and Go Kobe!

The consensus seems to be the troika of Larry Johnson, LaDainian Tomlinson, and Shaun Alexander, and I'd be hard-pressed to squeeze anyone else in there. Tiki Barber had a fantastic year, but let's see if he can follow it up.

LT for sure, he can do it all.  Shaun Alexander is great but can he throw touchdowns as well?  No he can't.  LT is the man

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.

Shaq should have won nearly every MVP since his third or fourth year even though i dislike him\nno one has every had a larger impact on a team, there has yet been a strategy that can beat him\nhe is underrated because most people dislike the fact that his only talents are enormous size, power, and athleticism

That would be my boy, Shaun Alexander, has about 10,000 yds in 6 yrs. 6 more yrs like that and he will be in the hunt for the leader honors.\n\nOr you could look at Manning, or some one  like T Green.\n\nCheck out the rankings on ESPN, and draw your own conclusions from there.

If I had a ballot for the NBA MVP award this season it'd probably go something like this:\n\n1) Dirk Nowitski\n2) LeBron James\n3) Steve Nash\n4) Dwyane Wade\n5) Tony Parker\n\nDirk's the clear choice for me for all he is doing for the Mavericks - how he has elevated his game this season. He does everything well, has picked up a defensive game this season and is virtually unguardable unless your last name is Bowen.\n\nLeBron James pretty much is the Cavaliers this season and is almost single-handedly carrying his team to the playoffs this year.  I wouldn't be surprised if he got a lot of consideration, but don't think he'll win, cause A) he's still very young and I don't think a lot of sportswriters will put him #1 on the ballot and B) Cleveland, though improved this year, are still not near being an elite team and they also like to interpret most valuable player as MVP of one of the top 3-5 teams in the league.\n\nSteve Nash is having an even better year than last season when he won, but the Sun's late season slide and sub-par numbers probably cost him the award this year among so many possible candidates. Steve Nash is probably more important to the Suns than any other player is to their respective team, though, and he makes every one around him amazing - if he can turn Boris Diaw into an all-star caliber player...\n\nDwyane Wade has been the main reason Miami is #2 in the east, and not one of those four teams battling it out for the last 3 eastern spots.  Shaq's not the player he used to be even if he wasn't injured as often as he has been this season, and they don't have many roleplayers out in Florida.\n\nTony Parker I put in #5 mainly as a testament to how he has helped keep the Spurs #1 in the west even with injuries to the teams two greatest players keeping them out of ballgames or playing injured for nearly the entire season. He has improved his game to where he is a more complete point guard, hardly turns the ball over, and has the 3rd best FG% in the NBA, which is ridiculous for a PG.\n\nAnd, just as an aside, I really don't see how the Lakers are that great with or without Kobe Bryant.  He's just a scorer.  He takes too many shots and has only a 44% FG percentage... under 35% from the arc.  Both those numbers are below the team averages.  He scores 35 PPG... but takes approximately 40% of all the shots the Lakers take.  Without Kobe this year the Lakers are right where they are, or maybe just on the other side of the playoffs, around 9th or 10th in the west.

I hope it will give to Steve Nash again cause Suns experienced a harsh year. \n\nHowever, NBA always give the MVP title to the leading team. Therefore, maybe they will give it to Hamilton or Wallace

NFL MVP Shaun Alexander.  And it's football player, not footballer.

It's going to be close between Lebron James and Kobe Bryant!But im going with Kobe Bryant, noone has credit him for all that he's done. Steve Nash didnt even deserve to win a second MVP, Kobe should of had won that and if he did and Lebron James played like he is now then Lebron is my vote. Overall Kobe Bryant winning this years MVP!!

I do! I think TO is the man and I don't care what the Eagles say about him, they didn't make it to the Super Bowl before he got there so yes, they did need him! There are players that are great by themselves and there are players who makes everyone around them want to be great, too. TO is the latter. :)

I think the MVP should not be decided until at least the end of the first round. Firstly if you cant get you team in the final you shouldnt be MVP and secondly the first round could be a confirmation of the play during the season.\n\nThe winner of the Suns vs Lakers games would be enought for me to judge show should have won between Kobe or Nash. Or if Lebron explodes in the first leg of the final then we could choose lebron

Obviously, the Trojan players were overrated. Reggie Bush went 2nd, Matt Leinart went 10th, and LenDale White went 45th. This shows that teams are finding faults in each player that NFL experts aren't finding. The ignorance of these faults makes each player look like they're amazing. But once teams start pointing out each little fault of each player, the player becomes less likely to be picked high in the draft. Each team's GM must have found something wrong in each player which is why they were picked a lot lower than expected.

gore and westbrook.....no doubt....alexander hasnt' proven anything...and with out hutchinson on his line....he's not very productive....gore is a stud.....and the rams defense sucks.....westbrook lost mcnabb so he'll have more weight on his shoulders than ever...recieving the short throws cuz garcia has a weak arm....and running all over the colts terrible run defense

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.

Shaun Alexander will have a good year in 2006. Better chance that happen is yes he is one of the best in NFL he ruled and showed people. What he done at, Alabama was great also he is by far a out standing runing back and he will break his own record he did it with out the big money. Since he's got the money he will be proven he's worth it. He will not fizzle like so many other's.  ICHOOSETOTELLTHETRUTH
