Mark Jackson and Van Gundy...

What was the vote the other year?

And the MVP is decided before the NBA champion is determined so
basically it is a regular season award. To say Nash was underserving
is fine. But to say Shaq gets it because the Lakers won the championship
is not following how the MVP is determined. imo its a silly award anyway.

The point that was made by Marc Jackson that started the thread
was that Iverson's offensive dribbling around like Nash has some sort
of cohesive effect offensively just like Nash.

And that is just total BS.
