          The Mail Man didnt really choke. It was unfair to him and the rest of the league because Jordan was just too good...

            What's that, 4 turnovers in the final minute? Oh and a brick.

              I don't think Nowitzski or Malone qualify since they reached the finals at least. Nash will never reach the finals.

                No way, he made big shot after big shot in the early games of the series. It's easy to say that since they lost, but he can't take on New Olreans (almost the #1 seed in the west) by himself.

                He did not get much help and they all choked together.

                New Orleans wanted it more and they got it because of that.

                  I've never understood the "they wanted it more" cliche. So really, in every series, one team really wants to win more than the other? Oh, and by the way, Dirk choked last year in the playoffs.

                    Not as big as Nash, who is the point guard and needs to be the mindset of every play, and to **** them all up is definitely a real problem.

                      It does make sense when you think about it.

                      Just look at the Denver Nuggets. THEY ADMITTED TO GIVING UP with a FULL quarter and a half to play in the game that put them down 3 - 0.

                      So with that mentality, not playing as hard as the other team, you show that you do not want it as much as the other team fighting harder than you.

                        I was referring to last year when he was mvp.

                          Maybe if Shaq hit them free throws it might help the team. You win as a team, you lose as a team. This isn't golf.

                            I think one player on Denver admitted to that. I didn't hear it from anyone else except from the pothead Anthony.

                              Judging by how they played they all gave up, and he was just the dumb guy to speak up about that.

                                Definitely, 17 free throws blown, and 7 turn overs in the 4th quarter, in a CLOSE 1 possession game is ridiculous.

                                They had a great shot to make the series workable tonight... going back home and making something of it.

                                Failed big time down the stretch, and before that as well.

                                  MVP, should be changed to MVWP (Most Valuable White Player). This "honor" has just become an opportunity to make believe that whites have an impact on this entirely black game. MVP every year should go to Lebron James, I mean that shitbag team went to the finals is in the playoffs every year b/c of ONE ****ING PLAYER, if they replaced Nash with a decent point gaurd they would be roughly as good, replace Lebron with a decent point guard with a Jason Kidd and they will ****in die, I mean the team will get fukin hammered by the Grizz and Heat. Look truth of the matter is whites have all the money so every chance they have to make it look like whites are a part of the NBA they jump on it, you got Dirk, Nash, and Gasol (Dirk and Gasol simply b/c they are 7 ft and alive) and that's it, the moral of the story is if you're white and not 7 ft plus or Steve Nash you aint gonna be in the NBA.

                                    Nash was never truly the Most Valuable Player in the league, so it doesn't matter.
