An MVP showing his worth.

Down 3-2 to the 7th seed Los Angeles Lakers and facing the Black Mamba aka Kobe Bryant on his home court, an elimination seemed inevitable for the Suns and then reigning MVP, Steve Nash.

But when the going got tough, the MVP got going.

With a little help from Tim Thomas, Nash dropped in 32 points and 13 assists in a gutsy performance to withstand a 50-point barrage from Kobe Bryant and drive the Suns to an OT victory and getting the series back to Arizona to set the sun on the Lakers’ season.
