Down here in the US, there were some questions as to whether Nash's two consecutive MVP's made some voters go to Dirk. I think it shouldnt have any bearing on the way you vote, but I wouldnt be surprised....

Yeah I had heard this as well. Not to say Dirk didnt deserve it, but from the sounds of it, Nash had no chance to win. I hear the main reason for this is that by Nash winning it a third consecutive time, it would put him in select company with Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, and Bill Russell. Even Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson never won three straight NBA MVP's. Alot of the basketball higher-ups and media feel Nash doesn't belong to be remembered with this category, and thus would not vote for him this year.
