UGH. That one pisses me off to this day. Dirk was so clearly, obviously the MVP that year. For those first couple of years he was in Phoenix, it was absolutely ridiculous the way the media slobbered all over Nash's nuts. Really, as bad as anything I've ever seen with Lebron or Kobe or anyone else.

What angers me even more is when I hear some douche bag say something about how there wasn't a "real" MVP in 07. Hell, just a few weeks ago I heard Marc Stein and Bill Simmons talk about that. I wanted to punch both of them in the face. Dirk was clearly the MVP in both years, and really you could make a very strong argument that he was the MVP in '05 as well.
