Here's something to think about:

Is Steve Nash the greatest Canadian athlete of all-time? I mean sure we have Gretzky and everything, but think about it...how improbable is it to have a Canadian win back to back MVP awards in the NBA?

Also, like Octothorp said, last year some argument could be made about the players around him...ie.playing with Amare Stoudamire and Shawn Marion will make anyone look pretty good. This year however, he did it without Stoudamire, and Shawn Marion was a good player, before the Nash days, but the team certainly wasn't good, and I would argue Marion has gotten better as a result of playing with Nash.

Aside from maybe Gretzky, Steve Nash is the greatest Canadian athlete of all time. Period.
