Nash is absolutely the frontrunner for MVP...what he's doing and what the Suns are doing overall without Stoudamire is absolutely unbelievable. At this point, Nash is more deserving of the MVP THIS year than he was last year. I think if they keep this pace up, he'll win it again. The Lakers won't finish high enough for Kobe to merit any serious consideration, Parker and Duncan will negate each other, and the collective Dallas team has been so good that I'm not sure Nowitzki can win.
The longer Stoudamire is out and the longer the Suns keep winning without him, the better chance Nash has of winning. I think he repeats.
