Will Steve Nash win his third MVP?
The Suns look like the best team in the league and are on pace to win 55-60 games this season. Statistically, Nash has improved in every category except rebounding (Amare back to pick up the rebounding slack) from last season. If he can keep up these numbers or be close to it, should he be the MVP?
Take a look at his stats:
20.4 ppg
11.6 apg
2.9 rpg
0.9 spg
52.5 FG%
49.4 3PT%
90.0 FT%
3.3 Assist-to-turnover ratio
Keep in mind though, that only 3 players have won the MVP award 3 years in a row, Bill Russell, Wilt, and Larry Bird, that's quite a company.
Out of all the MVP candidates, does Steve have the best chance to win the MVP or will he not get as much recognition as last year because of Amare's return? Do you think the voters would be reluctant to vote for him even if he really deserves it since he's won the last two? Discuss please.
