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. The votes have been tabulated in
what was expected to be a close race with LeBron James, Dirk
Nowitzki, Chauncey Billups and Kobe Bryant.

Nash won the fourth-closest MVP vote last year, edging
Shaquille O'Neal a year after Nash was not even an All-Star.


Nash, 32, impressed voters this season by posting career
highs in scoring (18.8 points per game), rebounding (4.2 per
game), field goal percentage (.512) and free-throw
percentage (NBA-best .921). He led the league in assists
again with 10.5 per game and finished sixth in three-point
shooting (43.9 percent).

After Amaré Stoudemire's knee surgery deprived the Suns of
their top scorer, Nash led the team to 54 wins and its first
repeat division title with only Shawn Marion and Leandro
Barbosa back for a full season.

Nash would be the first international and Suns player to win
twice.

Only eight previous players repeated as MVP winners. Magic
Johnson was the only point guard to do so.

kung tinood man gani ni, kalooy ni Kobe, mao bitaw gipabalhin si shaq para siya ang ma leader , unya dako siya chance sa MVP...... better luck next year kung si nash man gani............

ang mga candidates karon puro deserving...... billups, kobe, lebron, dirk, I think tie gyud na sila sa ila improvements tabla ra gyud pero mao lagi usa ra gyud.......


I think kobe is not rooting for a championship anymore, anyway he has three rings, but I think MVP na gyud ang iyang giapas, kung naa man gani championship bonus factor na lang na..........kay kung dili siya makadaog og mvp, layo layo pa ra ba apson si Jordan who has 5 mvp honors......

at 28, he still has 7 seasons left........and lets say pildi siya karon, so six seasons nalang para ma prove niya na ma surpassan niya si jordan......

to all kobe fans, I hope dili siya mapareha ni clyde drexler nga ni retire nga walay mvp honors........

[cool]

nash , no surprise here he deserves it.

[digitalsuperman]

he deserves it.look at where the suns now...specially now that amare is injured but still phoenix is still at its best...kudos to nash..

[ryan22]

kobe doesn't trust his teamates, doesn't even know the basics of basketball - PASSING

nash deserves it, balanced with all his stats, and most of all he knows how to lead his team...

[cool]

he got it, voting by the sportswriter is already done on thursday april 27.
e announce nalang.

sayana sa suns oi, nangawa man ang mga maayong player nga kinahanglan sa playoffs..

[level42]

lagi ila key players missing gyud, labi na wala na pud si tim thomas , unsaon nalang......

pero dili ma na mahimo og excuse gud kanang injuries. its part of the game........og responsibility pud na sa players ang pag bantay sa ila injuries.........

bisan makalusot pa sila sa lakers, dii gyud enough ila mga weapons karon...... they cant compete against the spurs and even the clippers.......

[slakker]

truly deserving si Nash to win back to back... ngilngig kaayo ni nga accomplishment for a point guard...

[level42]

kanus a ihatag iya award........ sayang gyud wala si stoudamire no........ sayang dako ta ila chance karon nga year espl. naa unta si kurt thomas pero mao lagi injured pud..... dili man sad gud na excuse nang injuries....... better luck next year
