Dirk Nowitzki has been announced 2007 NBA MVP after coming up short against the Golden State Warriors in this year’s playoffs.  Dirk has no doubt been the best player on his team during their 67 win stretch to the first team in a minute to challenge the Chicago Bulls 72 win record. 

He beats out Steve Nash, the MVP of the last 2 years, and Kobe ‘I can shoot over 4 people’ Bryant (I still think that you are the best player in the league.  You and Tim Duncan).  But the thing is this has brought up whether the award should be given out after the playoffs, but I say no.  He was the Most Valuable Player to his team during the regular season.  And I have a fucking problem with the award going to the person with the best record anyway.  Just because you may have the best record does not mean that you were that much the reason for that.  But Dirk I think deserved this one.  Imagine if Steve won again.  He would be up there with the like of Larry Bird and Bill Russell who won it 3 consecutive times and I can’t put him up there with them yet. 

I just think that this will go down as the worst MVP to go down in history to date because of how small Dirk came up losing the the 8th seeded Warriors.  Dirk, grow some fucking balls during playoff times when your team needs you!
