Funny Steve Nash NBA MVP
ESPN are reporting that Steve Nash (15.5 PPG, 11.5 APG) will be named NBA MVP for 2005, topping Shaquille O'Neal (22.9 PPG, 10.4 RPG). The award won't be officially announced until 3PM ET in the US, during half-time of one of the remaining first round play-off games.
Nash becomes the first MVP since Bill Walton in 1978 to win while scoring less than 20 PPG, and the 4th point guard to win the award.
