Kobe lead a weak team to the playoffs but they finished 7th in the regular season..that is no big achievement.
The Lakers finished ahead of Utah, New Orleans,Seattle,Golden State,Portland..... (all weak teams),
Houston (injury problems with TMAC and Yao) and Minnesota.
So true Lakers made the playoffs but they did what was expected.
As for Nash, he led a team without 3 of their top 5 scorers (Quentin, Amare,Joe Johnson) and played with new players and histeam finished with a 54-28 record. His defensive game is poor but how many players in the NBA have the total package. Not even Lebron has it as yet.
As for Lebron, his game is amazing but he has one weakness..his defensive game is weak...i am sure he will rectify that problem in a few years..once he does that...he will be closest thing to Jordan...
I would not be surprised if lebron wins the MVP instead of Nash..either one has done enough to win...Dirk is the dark horse and Kobe had a great season but not enough to win.
