Dear Mr. Nash, We, the NBA MVP Commission, regret to inform you that your MVP eligibility has been revoked. Under Section 232.52.42 of the NBA Code, no player shall be "crowned" MVP after being "crowned" as viciously as you just were by one Kobe Bean Bryant. P.S. In the interest of full-disclosure, despite how much David Stern would love to crown the everliving hell out of you, we can provide you with no assurances that you will make it out of this series on two working legs. Sincerely, Bill Simmons Newest Member of the Kobe Fan Club Kobe: " Heeeey what are you doing man? " Nash: "Just tryna grab some nuts"
