NBA MVP flap
Call me "crazy", but I thought the NBA's Most Valuable Player award was supposed to be given to the player most valuable to his team.
The addition of Steve Nash turned the Phoenix Suns from a pathetic 29-win team in 2004 to the league's best regular season squad this season. The 2005 edition of the Miami Heat, with Shaquille O'Neal, finished 17 games ahead of last year's campaign. The Heat made the playoffs without Shaq in '04, and probably would've done so this year even if Shaq had not arrived in Miami.
That alone suggests Nash is a worthy MVP. Maybe next year, Shaq. You might want to forget about the MVP award now and go for the ring.
