Last time I checked, regular season MVP votes aren't based on the ability of one player to carry his team to the championship. Also, weren't the Lakers a run and gun team during the 80's?

We're talking about one season -- not the last decade. If there was such an award, Shaq should be the MVP of the decade.

I agree. There definitely are 12 players, who are better than Nash, in the league today. However, we're talking about how valuable Nash is to the Suns. A brief run of the Suns' team stats with and without Nash dictate how valuable he is to them:
The Suns without Nash in the line-up:
W-L: 2-5
PPG: 103.4
PPGA: 109.4
Assists: 120 (17.13 per game)
The Suns with Nash in the line-up:
W-L: 60-15
PPG: 117.1
PPGA: 105.1
Assists: 1927 (24.09 per game)
