A wise man once told me, 3 is better than 2 and a championship means more than a MVP, never caught his name though. 😉
Was it Shaq, the guy who was the best player, and carried the Lakers to all 3 championship while Kobe played the role of Scottie Pippen.

Kobe did deserve it more last year though, honestly.
Please, if Kobe played like he did in the playoffs that whole year you might have an argument.
WE DONT CARE ABOUT DIRK. Omfg, read the topic of this thread.
Okey, well, I still remember that game where they had to go to a triple bonus time, and that match held record for the Knick's most points let in and shot in... Almost everyone was fouled out except Nash vs Kidd, and they were both doing 3 pointers and getting field goals in, but when it came to the last second and it was Kidd's turn to shoot, which would determine who won.. Kidd missed. So currently Nash is much better.
But if we are talking about Kidd 5 years ago... Gee, i'm not sure. The difference isn't THAT big...
I would say Nash. He's a great teamplayer, he's the guy you want with the ball at the 4th quarter. Kidd is more of an assist player, after all.
You mean "overtime" and Nets, not Knicks. Don't confuse the two. And one game doesn't determine who's currently better. Think about their respective teams. Many players fouled out on both sides, but Nash still had Marion, Bell, Barbosa, etc. Kidd only had RJ, who had an off night btw. Carter fouled out, so basically Kidd had to run the show for NJ by himself, while Nash had other teammates who really helped him int the 3 overtimes. Unfair comparison. And anyway, Kidd finished with better stats. He had like 30, 14, and 14. Kidd is just as much of a team player as Nash, and oh yeah, Kidd is 10x better in defense.
C'mon, Nash is arguably the best guard in the leaugue, on one of the best teams in the league where he is the key focal point, and he doesn't/didn't deserve an MVP, right.
Shaq in his prime did better than most MVPs, and deserved more than one MVP, yet noone b!tched when Duncan, KG, and Kidd were getting more votes than him.
