If Dirk didn't deserve the MVP (based on those ridiculous arguments about his playoff performance) Nash wouldn't have deserved it either this year by that logic.

They both deserved the MVP's that they won. Nash lost again but his playoff performance wasn't as bad as Dirk's (this postseason that is). He was the Suns best player in the postseason, and I think Pho could have won this series if Barbosa didn't play like garbage. Either way, the Suns lost to the better team (Spurs play defense) and Nash went down to a better player (Duncan, who also has MVP's).
I don't really see the point of listing all the help Nash has when the Spurs have all of that as well, championship experience (so homecourt really doesn't matter) and arguably the best player in the game.
