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.

If that's true then it doesn't speak well for basketball in America. I really hate when poltics are involved in the voting process. Leave that garbage out of it and allow the best player to win. Dirk's a great player, but Nash should have been a 3 - peat winner.
