  Great piece on Steve Nash, Bomani. You seem to be evolving into a certain level of comfort with your writing. Keep up the good work.

  Good piece on Nash. I do think that there's a quiet trend towards writers/owners/analysts/etc. looking for/hyping a more "classic" type of player. Complaints about the US Olympic team ("they forgot the fundamentals") might have even foreshadowed this a bit. Just the same, I'm not so sure anyone can truly argue that Nash was a bad choice. 11.5 APG is a pretty solid year. No other player averaged in double digits in the regular season. But you're right, he's no scorer. The rest of the Suns sure as hell were though, and someone had to feed them the ball. I'll admit from the get-go that Shaquille is good (as much as it kills me to have to say that), but overall, Nash just seems to have made a bigger impact on his team. I like the Heat's chances without Shaq (who'll soon be #2 to Wade's #1) a lot better than the Suns without Nash (call Sir Charles out of retirement?). Stoudamire is good, but Wade is unreal. Before long, he's going to be a description a la "Jordan-esque" rather than a name or a player. Not exactly proof positive that Nash deserves the award, but it's hard to say that he's undeserving either.

  Nash deserved, it no doubt about it. Last season the Suns were 29-53 this year they were 62-20. They had only two major player acquisitions in the off season Quentin Richardson and Steve Nash. I like Quentin (a.k.a. Mr. Brandy) but I don’t think he was the most important factor in the turn around. You could make a case for The Diesel and Tim Duncan (just like the David Robinson era the Spurs lose a lot when their big man is gone) but Nash was the man this year.
