Nash led a suns team that won 29 games in 04 to 62 wins in 05
Nash led a team that lost amare stoudemire for the season to 54 wins the next year
Both suns teams were a 1 and 2 seed,kobe had a great individual season but the lakers were 42-20 and 45-37 not impressive compared to what nash did
He stole a MVP title...literally robbed Kobe bcuz the league wuz waiting for a white savior for years....think we didn't see u try to big up Birdman Anderson? Huh Stern?
I look at Nash first season as a Laker as reperations for what he stole
This always bothers kobe fans.

Personally I'm enjoying how often Nash is suddenly showing up in a lot of top 5 pg and best offensive player in the league lists since joining the Lakers.
The mvp is a individual award based off your Teams success
Thats why an mvp was never handed to a guy who's team won less than 50 games or lower than a 4 seed which is why nash deserved both of them over kobe
It does, and it will.
Averaging 35 a game, with Smush Parker, Walton, Kwame, Chris Mihm all in the starting a lineup, and taking them to the playoffs. Was worthy of an MVP to me.
But we know how the media hated Kobe back then.
Your train of logic is terrible.
Kobe Bryant met all the official criteria needed to be considered the MVP, which is all that matters.
I like how you slickly called him a nikka.
Shaq has a MUCH bigger gripe over Nash taking an MVP from him than Kobe does. Hell, LeBron should have been the winner of that second Nash MVP anyway.
Yet so often, people on here say that Nash has stolen TWO MVPs from Kobe. They still refuse to acknowledge the fact that the year Nash won his first MVP, Kobe missed 20% of the season, missed the playoffs, and missed a ton of shots.
not to mention how great nash was playing at the time. Did LA even win 50 games ?
And I'm not saying Kobe deserved MVP...I'm only saying that rationale is stupid.
