    Nash never was and never will be a MVP in my eyes. The 2 times he won the award they screwed the other guys. One year it was Kobe the other year it was LeBron if I'm not mistaken.

    Anyway Dirk can carry a team very well IN THE REGULAR SEASON.

    How can anyone say he is a Hall-of-Famer when he continues to choke in the playoffs year after year.

    Maybe if he saves some for the playoffs his team would be more of a force right now he's a farce.
