how does that not make sense? Dwane Wade can jump and he can dunk the ball easily. Steve Nash is short and white. He just doesnt have the jumping ability to go out ont he coart and dunk on people. He is more of a play maker, he controls the people on his team and he makes them better. Swane Wade is a go-to guy, he can but up point in almost any situation. They're just 2 different players, thats all.

There are different things that make basketball players great.  When you look at a player like Jordan, he was a great scorer and a great defender.  He also made players around him better.  With a player like Shaq, he gets a bad rep because of his free throws, but in reality there has never been a big man of his size that was so good with the ball.  He is a great passer, he is very quick for his size(he has slowed down with age), he runs the court very well, and he has great hands.  He is the most dominating player in the league right now.  Most people that big can't walk and chew gum at the same time.  Shaq is also very unselfish.  If you ever listen to him speak, he always praises his teammates and coaches and not himself.  Kobe Bryant on the other hand still has to learn how to become great.  He needs to improve his defense and learn how to pass the ball a little better.  You are right that scoring 81 points does not make you great, but he did do it against an NBA team.

Not the best ever, but definitely one hell of a basketball player.  He has also of skill, uses the fundamentals, and isn't afraid to pass the ball if he's having an off  night.  If he keeps going the way he is he could definitely become a player worthy of Bird or Nowitski type status.

Nash is freaking greattt. but Jordan shot the ball that often cause he was consistent.  You're a ball hog when you shoot like crazy but can't score.  they moved the ball into Jordan's hands cause they knew he could knock down the points.  \n\nDont knock him for setting a high standard.  You can think highly of players, but give him his due respect!

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.

Point guards are only as good as the players that they have around them. I would put my money on Williams. Strong lasts in the NBA, quickness fades once the pounding you take adds up. The Jazz do a great job of finding talent. It has not taken them long to get back on the map in the post Stockton-Malone era. You never know if Deron will choose to be a Utah lifer or not but is there a better coach for a young player to learn from than Jerry Sloan? He will take that with him wherever he plays. I think that both of these guys will be around for a while, let's just enjoy watching!

My two favorite players are each from pheonix, My all time favorite player is steve nash, what he can do with the ball is nothing sdhort of amazing. If you see steve nash walking down the street, you would not say wow look at this guy, he is a 2-time mvp, but he is. Also he is not very fast, or strong, or overpowering, but he is elusive, and quick in the lane, and can hit the three very well, and never misses a free throw.\n\nMy second favorite player is shawn marion, this guy is an all around player. I give shawn marion all thecredit in the world. When Amare got injured this season, shawn marion stepped up, and became our primary scorer. Also, if you look how hard this guy actually works during a game, you would not be able to understand how he plays every minute of every game. Marion rebounds like he is 7'0, when in all actuality he is only 6'7. Also he is there best perimeter defender behind raja bell. This guy could start on any team.

Hmmmm... hard to say seems how the Dallas Cowboys are a professional football team... but I'd say TO. I once saw TO play basketball. He's pretty good. He sometimes attends Miami Heat games also.

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.

You ask who is the most talented, i would have to say Shawn Marion, forward for the Pheonix suns. I say this for the simple fact that this guy does everything, he scores, he rebounds like a person who is 7 foot tall and he is only 6'7. He can also hit the three consistantely, and can finish at the rim with an exclamation dunk, or a nice finger role, or his patented tear drop floater(no one does it better than him). Also, he plays every minute of every game, no matter if he is injured or not. I truly believe, if any team were to trade for him, he would automatically become a starter, whether it be dallas, san antonio, or detroit, this guy is amazing and a treat to watch. They say Elton Brand is the most underrated player in the league, I think this guy is, Shawn Marion brings a swagger, and a balance to the game. And also how he had stepped up this season in Amare's absence was nothing short of splendiferous. Theres my arguement, second place is Lebron James and his mean face.

Nash has already been chosen. They chose him because he is not only good himself, he makes other players better. The Suns or any of their players would not be as good without Nash.

Suns baby. Nash is fantastic

Steve Nash is still leading in the MVP votes.  He might not have stellar stats, but he carries the team.  Sun would not have this kind of records without Nash this year.  It's all about the team, not individual.\n\nThink about this - if you play with Steve Nash, suddenly you are a star (look House, Diaw...).  If you play with Kobe, you suck.  And Kobe would keep blaming on you.\n\nLebron James is also good, but some coaches and analysts still think he doesn't create enough open shots for teammates.  Just FYI.

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
