Here is the first I have heard this angle:
From Chris Sheridan's ESPN Blog:
Not so sure I would agree with giving the award to someone like Parker whose dominance is questionnably consistent at best. Sure, he might have as much talent as those other guys, but some nights he just doesn't show up for part or all of games. Granted, it doesn't happen very much lately, but when was the last time you saw Nash have an off game, or Billups for that matter.
I wholeheartedly disagree with Dirk winning it. Say what you want, he is a terribly one-dimensional player who is not a very good teammate. Josh Howard is as much the reason that team is so good this year as Dirk is.

After a one-month hiatus, it's time for an early-each-month update on the leaders for individual awards. There's a much larger body of evidence to work with this month, and I'm sure to get plenty of outraged e-mails after you read my current choice for MVP. So without further ado . . .
Most Valuable Player: Tony Parker, Spurs. He's the best player on his team with Tim Duncan operating below 100 percent all season with a foot injury, and the prediction here is he'll lead San Antonio to the league's best record when all is said and done. Runners-up: Steve Nash, Suns; Dirk Nowitzki, Mavs.
