Dirk Nowitzki is the mvp?!?!?!?

Nash definitely deserved to be MVP again this year

and this is coming from a Kobe fan 

  All of you guys act like you looked in your crystal ball and saw Dirk flopping in the playoffs. If the playoffs were taken into consideration then ya Dirk probably shouldn't win, but it's not. There is a Finals MVP I'm sure every player would rather have. Dirk has come in the top 3 in voting the last 2 years, and is one of the best players in the NBA, and plays for the team that had the best record.  He didnt have to play as much due to the Mavs winning and deep roster, but if averaged out over 48 min his stats would compare well with any other MVP favorite. While I am tempted to join in and write him off, it is a regular season award and you can't forget about all he accomplished this season. d12malu

MVP is a joke in the NBA, Nash, Labron, Baron, Bosh, Arenas, Kidd, Dwight Howard and Kobe all deserved it more than Dirk did.pundog

Completely agreed.

Goes to the best player in the regular season.

Still should have gone to Nash or Kobe though . . .

Wow........I cant believe they actually gave him that award.Big_O2006

they havent given it to him yet

who knows 

The MVP doesn't even go to the person who is best defined by the freaking phrase "most valuable player." The award is a joke. Nash's best year in the last three is the ONE year he doesn't get the prize. Screw Dirk.ScoopyMcScoop

although i agree that Dirk's unheard of season of 24 and 9 isnt en ough to overtake nash - nash had a stronger case the last 2 years.

first year, took the suns from a 29 win team to a 62 win team

second year, no amare, no richardson, no joe johnson

this year, they were at full strength BUT he did average career highs in stats

people just wanna see it go to someone else, the award is tainted this year

MVP= Regular season
NBA finals MVP= Playoffs
so yes Dirk deserved

Ugh, even AFTER the disappointing series loss to the 8th seeded GT Warriors? I'm a Lakers fan so naturally I don't like Steve Nash but he definitely deserved the award.proteKYFM

Unbelievable. While I know the votes were cast before the playoffs, if they saw the way Nowitzki played (or didn't play's more like it) they would never have given him this award. They may have earned one of the best records in NBA history, but Nash kills this guy!! The amount of assists and the way he makes them are stunning. Watching him play is amazing. Nowitzki, however, shoots from inside the arc and gets boards. That first game against the Spurs in round 2, while they were beaten and Duncan and Parker each scored big, Nash had 31 points. Also, in the first round against the Lakers, he came one shy of the record for assists in a playoff game with 23!! This is a travesty. Nash is still the MVP in my eyes. When he hoists the championship trophy, we'll all know who the real MVP is here. mkearney_913

Kidd had an outstanding regular and post season. I would definitely rank him higher than Dirk in MVP voting, he puts up better numbers and is just as valuable to his team.

no way, team has to win at least 50 games to be considered

only one player in the last like 50 years has won it without having his team win 50 games

nash goes down and the suns lose a few. nash comes back, they go on another winning streak. don't you think that thats valuable????bubblesbarry182

of course it should be

only difference is: suns w/ nash = 62 wins
