i would also like to know who you think is the best player in todays game..and i dont mean just stats, like kobe gets by constantly hogging. i mean as a player, someone that gets stats and at the same time does or makes a strong effort to make their teammates better.
i dont know wtf you were trying to say there or if you were trying to act smart by showing me the first page of this thread...but i asked who you think the best player is in particular...so answer the question if you want to because what you just posted did not make any sense.
It was actually a link to another thread where we have discussed who the best current NBA players are, why would i post a link to this thread? Maybe it would have made sense if you'd taken the time to read it properly.
The reason i posted the link was to save repeating the same stuff again in this thread. Does that make sense to you or would you like me to draw you a diagram?

omg. lol. u crack me up...like i was forced to repeat, i said the best player in the nba today, not the top 10 players..i wanted opinions on who and why...not a list of players that are many times in random order.
Its really not that different to the top 10 current players is it? Why not ask the question in that thread instead of the one about legends of yesteryear?

I'll admit that im a bit biased being a Laker fan but Kobe proved to me anyway that he is the best player in the game last season.
The only player to be on the all NBA 1st team offense and defense, plus the other huge milestones he achieved (81pts, 63 in 3 quarters, 35ppg etc). That coupled with the way he involved his teammates in the playoffs sealed it for me.
Before last season i would have said KG was the most complete.
Nash won the MVP and is a great player but his lack of any defensive qualities mean he cant be called the best player imo.

even though nash isnt such a great defender, and even though i think many previous awards were given to undeserving players, i think this was a good pick. steve nash virtually metamorphed the suns. think about it, when marbury led the suns, you would say "pheonix suns, who are they? i think they're a basketball team in the nba, but im not sure. i better check." but now, with the addition of only nash, ok boris diaw too, but the reason he improved so much is because of... you guessed it, nash. AND ALSO, even with the loss of AMARE STOUDAMIRE, nash carries the suns to the conference finals. AND if they didnt run out of gas at the end against a bigger and stronger mavs squad with a little better BENCH production, i think they could have made it to the finals. So, without a doubt, nash made all his teammates better. (as for stephon, he makes all his teams worse)
im not a suns fan, im a nets fan, but steve nash, hands down is the well deserved mvp. im sorry, but kobe, yeah he scored 81 and yeah i agree that he is an amazing spirited talent, but then again, all his teammates got worse that year, and think about it, he broke up the lakers by being a tad bit on the selfish side.
I've had the "Kobe broke up the Lakers" argument too many times to go over it again, so i'll just say you should listen to other sources then BSPN.
As for the rest of your post, you basically summed up why Nash won the MVP. That doesnt mean he is the best player in the NBA, just the most valuable on the winning team.
In terms of ability i would put Kobe, KG, Bron, Wade, Duncan, T-Mac, Artest (when he's taken his medication), Carter, Brand and Arenas ahead of Nash. Im not denying Nash's contributions to the Suns and no doubt he carried them far but any pass first PG would flourish in that offense.
Anyway im not knocking your opinion, i just dont agree.
edit: By the way, Smush Parker - career year, Chris Mihm - career year, Brian Cook - career year, Luke Walton - career year. What do they all have in common? They all played with Kobe Bryant last season.
