  what is the criteria for MVP. It would seem to me it should be the player who is the most important to his team, and where the team is great. 
Miami w/o Shaq is an ordinary team. Last year and this year.
The Pistons had the best record in the East this year- the Pistons, a team w/o a superstar- then Chauncey goes out for 8 games. We go 2-6.
I suppose the Suns w/o Nash would be closer to ordinary, but I don't think they'd fall as much as the Heat and Pistons did.
C. Webb watch: 2-1 since the signing.
