Steve Nash, 2005 and 2006 MVPs
Nash won both awards during the rise of Mike D’Antoni’s “seven seconds or less” offense. As great as Nash was, he had a lot of help — both via his teammates and an offense that allowed him to rack up bonkers assist totals. Dirk Nowitzki dragged the Mavericks to 58 wins in 2004-05 and should have taken it that year, and he could have done it again the following season, as could have LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.
