new info on this, it is more or less now official LAtimes article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.192.76 (talk) 03:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

How about we keep the information on this page factual so it can be used as a rescource... Youssef Hannoun winning the first ever NBA MVP is not factual information... You and your friends may get a kick out of seeing Hannoun on your computer screen as the MVP between bong-hits, but it has no place here... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.13.192.185 (talk • contribs) 08:23, October 21, 2006 (UTC)

I agree with the above statements. i ahve been trying to fix it all day. i ahve suggested it be protected —Preceding unsigned comment added by 10scott10 (talk • contribs) 06:18, April 9, 2007 (UTC)

I agree, this is a page that should only need editing once a year anyway.CEP78 05:54, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Protection is only reserved for extensive vandalism, otherwise the Admins will ask that you Watchlist the article and simply revert the edits. Make sure to warn vandals and increase the warning levels. If they continue to vandalise Wikipedia, you can report the user and they will be blocked. Zodiiak 06:09, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No MVP yet for 06-07

Zodiiak, if you read the article closely you can see that the results of the MVP award ballot remain unknown. The article just stated that Dirk was a shoe-in for the award. Was just browsing through and noticed it. I know that I'm not in the NBA wikiproject, just helping out. - D2B - 07:58, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't matter if you are or aren't. Not sure why you're directly outing me, I'm not the only one who maintains this article. Fact is, I'm not the one who posted he was the MVP, until I read it on espn. It has been posted that Dirk will receive the Award on espn, espn game nights, nba.com, tnt game nights, etc. Let's be realistic, the article, that was posted as a source until someone removed it, stated:

Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, whose coronation as the first European-born Most Valuable Player in NBA history has been expected for weeks, is scheduled to officially receive the MVP trophy news conference on Tuesday in Dallas, ESPN.com has learned.

[edit] What's with this page?

Nash is listed in the chart at the bottom as having won 3 MVPs. Hasn't he only won twice? And what's with the constant vandalism? Nevermind, it looks like this is getting fixed as we speak.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.197.19.242 (talk)

[edit] Table suggestions

Two things I'm not sure we need in the main table:

  • Flag icons, especially more than one of them.
  • Numbers in parentheses for MVP Awards other than a player's first. There is already a table at the bottom for multiple MVP award winners and I think our readers know how to count.

Two things that would improve the table:

  • Number of MVP votes won out of number of possible votes. Might be harder to find sources for non-recent years.
  • Team win-loss record (easy).

[edit] Steve Nash is actually South African

The page reflecs Steve Nash incorrectly as Canadian. He is really South African. He was just raised in Canada. This is similar to Nicole Kidman and Mel Gibson being called Australian- No, they are American (Hawaii and New York respectively) but were just raised in Australia. --Zoldello (talk) 21:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I think he is both Canadian and South African. The Steve Nash article says he is Canadian and he actually represented the Canadian national basketball team. But since he was born in South Africa, so my guess is that he is also South African. However, I could be wrong. It will be best if you ask someone else on the talk page of Nash's article.—Chris! ct 02:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
