When the Suns & Hawks made the sign and trade at the start of the year I was like, Boris Diaw? Just a throw-in I guess? Boy was I wrong. I'd have him over Joe Johnson any day. That boy can play, with or without Steve Nash. What is he 6-8? And he was playing center for most of the year.
Congrats to the MIP

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)Comment

Re: Congrats to the MIP
He got robbed of nothing. Diaw was so useless last year because of injuries, lack of talent and minutes in ATL.
The people who have said West got robbed have not even said why or stated any arguments...Comment

Stats isn't everything...
Diaw was an integral part of the Suns being so good this season. There's a reason he didn't have more points than West and it's because he's such a great playmaker. His defense was solid as well, which is why he guaded so many positions this season for D'Antoni.
I would have no problem whatsoever if West won, but to say he got robbed is really taking awat from what Boris did.Comment

Originally posted by PointguardDiaw should thank Brian Colangelo for bringing him to Phoniex and Mike D'Antoni for having this system in place. Nash doesnt have any other effect of Boris Diaw that any of MVP type player has on his supporting cast.
Diaw does his thing, with or without Nash. Of course Nash makes things easier and his presense helps Diaw, but Diaw's ability to pass, rebound, run and score fits perefectly in the PHX system and he's still be a top MIP candidate with or without Nash.
Its insulting to Diaw and his game this year to say he owes it to Nash.NBAComment

RDM....I know. I was furious that we lost Joe, but man, did it work out great. Joe's on a garbage team, Boris is MIP, it's totally great.Comment
