MVP

Steve Nash is the man. The mini six foot three point guard from Victoria is the first Canadian to ever win the NBA's Most Valuable Player award. Beating out Shaq by just 34 points, Nash was amazed. "It's an incredible oddity in many ways," he said. "It's very difficult for me to really get a handle on being mentioned with those tremendous athletes and their accomplishments." Other b-ball stars on the best of the best list include my boy MJ and Larry Bird. Just hours after the ceremony, Nash led the Suns to a 127-102 victory over Dallas, his former team. Game two of the second round playoff series will be in Phoenix Wednesday at 7:30, and Nash will host his first charity All Star game in Toronto this summer.
