With Steve Nash having his best year of his career in Phoenix, rumours abound that he is one of the favoured candidates to win this season's MVP title.
This season's average stats:
Points per game: 15.6
Rebounds per game: 3.2
Assists per game: 11
He's averaging a double-double a game. Pretty good stats for the Canadian kid.
Now league MVP does not mean he's the best player in the league, it means the guy who means to most to the team. Who, without him, would be nothing.
When Nash is dressed and plays more than 15 min, the Suns are 33-6.
When Nash was recently injured the team struggled to score more than 80 points in those games which throughout the rest of the season leads the league in points per game.
There's still about half a season to go but if he can stay healthy, this modest man from Victoria, who could probably care less if he won it and would rather have a Championship ring, is definately the front runner for MVP.
You can see Nash take on the Raptors today at 1:30 on TSN.
