Well both certainly were big impact guys this year. Nash runs a great offensive game and really makes use of the guys around him. His main objective in the game is for his team to win and not for himself to look good unlike a lot of the higher profile point guards. Although Nash may not be the most talented guy in the league he is value to his team. Shaq also is a guy who deserves credit for being a winner everywhere he's been. Sure he likes to have the ball, but his presence creates a lot of space for his team mates to operate. Teams are always keying on him, and trying to shut him down, and have done so with little success. When you consider how advanced coaching and the like is these days you really have to consider Shaq as one of the NBA's alltime great physical presences as he manages to outperform his peers at the center position every year.
