Vind je dat vreemd? Ik vind het een gods wonder wat hij verricht heeft bij de Suns.
Uiteraard, maar ik zou toch voor Shaq gaan...

NBA MVP
And the winner is .. Shaquille O'Neal. He's simply the Most Valuable Player in the game. He transcends the game. He's such a difficult player to defend and he keeps you trying to figure things out about him as a player. This isn't a guy who's been in the league for three years. He has been a dominant player for more than a decade and he cannot be stopped. Period. He's come in to Miami and made the Heat one of the top five most popular teams in the game. I can't take any skin off guys like Dwyane Wade and Eddie Jones. They have some other great players on their team but Shaq has the city buzzing and excited. They feel a championship and this is a city that has won a couple World Series with the Marlins. It's an exciting time for them and there's no comparison when you talk about what Shaq has been able to do in this game.
If I was to say that there was anyone else who's deserving of it, it would probably be Dwyane Wade. I like how his game has expanded. I would throw Steve Nash into the discussion as well, but a guy who plays on offense and doesn't have an impact on the other end of the court doesn't really turn me on. I know people have said things about him and I like his tenacity. But I wouldn't even say he was my third pick. If he played a different style of game, like John Stockton, at the other end of the court, then, yeah, he's probably my pick. But you're talking about a guy who doesn't even make an impact to any degree on the defensive end of the court. Now you wanna say he's the most valuable player? What is it about him that shows that he's valuable on the other end of the court? I would look at Amaré Stoudemire before I look at Nash, to be honest. Not taking anything away from Nash, but if I take Stoudemire out of that mix on that team, I think that's where they really fall off. Steve Nash can get you wins, but he's not going to get you there. I would throw Tim Duncan into the mix as well. He's a very valuable piece to this league, the game and his team. When you talk about a valuable player, he's definitely at the top along with Shaq. But there can only be one winner. Give it to the Diesel.
