I'm a Suns fan and I think Nash is the frontrunner for MVP at the current moment, but Skip Bayless is a goddamn moron in all facets of the word. For one thing, the only thing that might hurt Dirk's chances are if Josh Howard continues to improve and carries a bigger load than before. The fact that Dallas is 1st in the league helps Dirk, though.
Marion was averaging just about 20 and 10 before Nash got there. If anything, Shawn Marion is the only player on the Suns who works for just about everything he gets, and doesn't rely much on Nash at all.
With that said, Nash is still the best player in the NBA right now, though Dirk and Kobe could certainly contend for that honor.
