The NBA Finally Has an MVP Whose Game Does Not Shrink in the Playoffs

Dirk Nowitzki seemingly received the 2007 MVP in a broom closet at an undisclosed location after his Dallas Mavericks were bounced out of the first round of the playoffs. The 2005 and 2006 MVP, Steve Nash, just made Tony Parker look like the greatest point guard in the history of the NBA. Kobe Bryant received the 2008 MVP and then he clubbed the Jazz over their heads with it in game two. [link]
