Steve Nash Wins Consecutive MVP Awards
Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash was awarded the highest individual honour in the NBA on Monday, collecting the Most Valuable Player trophy for the second time in as many years. The award, previously won by Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Willis Reed, is voted by a panel of journalists recognizing outstanding perfomance during the 82-game regular season.
Steve (left), born in South Africa to Canadian parents, was drafted by the Suns in 1996 with the 15th pick, behind players such as Vitaly Potapenko, Todd Fuller and Kobe Bryant. He was traded to Dallas in 1998, where he failed to win the MVP trophy during his 6-year stay. However, upon returning to Phoenix two seasons ago, he hasn't come any lower than "league-best".
Not bad for a 6-3 white guy with girlish shoulder length hair.
Steve averaged 18.8 points and 10.5 assists for the Suns, who finished the regualr season with a 54-28 win-loss record. He also posted career-high single game records of assists (22) and 3-pointers made (7) over the course of the season. Below is one of his standard assists.
Runner up for the MVP award was Cleveland Cavaliers 21 year-old LeBron James, followed by Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas), Kobe Bryant (LA Lakers) and Chauncey Billups (Detroit).
Alt Alt journalists were unable to secure an interview with Steve.
