if we use that criteria, then why wasn't ben Gordon in the MVP race, why wasn't Gilbert ARenas in the MVP voting, why wasn't Dwayne Wade there at the top, why wasn't Pau Gasol in there, why wasn't Chris Paul in there, why wasn't Vince Carter in there or Jason Kidd, or Tony Parker, or Manu Ginobli, or Jermaine Oneil, or or or or or......
you could go on forever. All of those teams would be lost without their stars and they would not be in the playoffs without those guys. But none, except for mabey Dewayne would be considrered the best player in the NBA. If that is the criteria used for the MVP voting, which it definately was in Nash wins,then the MVP would be even more wide open
