stockton had to compete with barkley, jordan, olajuwan, robinson, and malone winning during his prime, not to mention guys like drexler, magic, zo, wilkins, young shaq, and kemp putting up some nice years here and there (i didnt actually look at any of their numbers during that span, just a list of people who were good during the 90s, so dont go off about kemp never being mvp worthy or something)
nash had to deal with shaq having a good year, but not his best, duncan and garnett being hurt, kobe sucking, kidd missing the begining of the season, lebron not winning games, and tmac having to split his scoring with yao. other than ai and dirk, all of the superstars really were subpar this year, so nash got lucky in his timing to have the best year of his life and that caused him to get the trophy. if stockton put up those numbers in a year like this, he would have won it
