TruEmFan You speak the truth..... Pistons are a dying breed of players. They don't care about awards or any of that. From the begginning it was all about the Championship that they felt they deserved last year.
About the MVP award, while its true Nash actually has players around him and Kobe was the reason the lakers were in the playoffs, that isn't the reason that I believe Nash shouldn't have won the award....... Turnovers..... Nash averaged 3.5 turnovers compared to Kobes around 3 a game, not a big deal, wrong, Kobe also averaged 35 points a game, Nash: 18 if that. Nash's role on the team is pure passing and to average 3.5 turnovers is wreakless. Look at the Laker Suns series! On the game that the Lakers won, 1 or 2 of the games were won by turnovers...... guess whose, Nash.
Kobes role is a scorer and an agressive player, he plays his role on his team. Nash plays wild with his passes, while being a great player, I don't belive him to be a MVP. Kobe did it with no one on his team. Nash had, as you guys mentioned, the Matrix.....
Overall I don't agree with the decision but it is the NBA, we now have to watch our stars come out to a dress code which is just plain retarded.
