Our take:
If Steve Nash won the MVP award last year as the engine that powered the
league's winningest team, conventional thinking leads you to believe Chauncey
Billups should be taking home some hardware soon, too. What works against
Billups, however, is that he plays alongside three other All-Stars (Hamilton
and the Wallaces), but that shouldn't be a factor here. This season under Flip
Saunders, Billups upped his assists average (8.6) by nearly three a night --
after posting a career-best 5.8 per game a year ago under Larry Brown, a coach
who preached pass-first to his point guard. Even better, Billups, given the
green light to score by Saunders, nudged his scoring average (18.5) to an
all-time high while shooting a career-best .433 from beyond the arc. Most
important to his team's success, though, has been his rock solid consistency
and ball control, leading the league in assists-per-turnover (4.11) while
leading his team to an NBA-best 64 wins.

我們的看法：
如果S.Nash去年是因為帶領球隊獲得聯盟最多勝而拿下最有價值球員的獎項，照理說
槍蜥應該很快就把這個獎盃抱回家才是。對槍蜥不利的就是他和其他三位全明星球員同在
一隊(RIP和雙蛙)，不過那應該不會是獲不獲獎的決定性因素。本季在老桑麾下打球，槍蜥
的平均助攻數比起去年提升了將近三個(8.6次) -- 去年在那個總是鼓勵控衛要以傳球為第
一優先的老布朗指導下他才剛寫下生涯新高的5.8次紀錄。槍蜥在老桑的允許之下，得分方
面的表現甚至更好，悄悄地將他的單場平均得分推升至生涯新高(18.5分)，三分球命中率
也同時以43.3%寫下生涯新高紀錄。不過對於球隊獲勝的最關鍵因素還是在於他堅若磐石的
穩定性及對球的控制。他在自己助攻/失誤比領先全聯盟的同時，也帶領球隊贏得聯盟最多
的64勝。

From the media:
I find funny now that everyone is talking about how wide open the MVP race is,
and in the process, have totally forgotten about about Chauncey Billups.
Exactly what has he done to lose his front-runner status that he held a month
ago? The knock for him is that his team is so good. But it's not like Rip and
Tayshaun or any of these guys are gonna average 30 for a series or anything.
They are not Hall of Fame level players (maybe Ben but thats it). They play
well because Chauncey solidifies them and for the team with the best record in
the league, he's the Most Valuable Player. So CB should win the league MVP
award.

媒體的看法：
我在每個人討論本季年度最有價值球員的選情有多撲朔迷離時發現了一件很有趣的事
，為什麼大家似乎都忘了槍蜥的存在呢？事實上他到底做了什麼事導致他失去一個月前呼
聲頗高的狀態呢？也許是因為他的球隊表現實在太過優異。但像RIP、小王子或任何一個球
員都沒有在任何一個系列賽或球季有單場平均30分的實力，活塞陣中也沒有未來能入選名
人堂那種等級的球員存在(或許大班未來有機會，但那不是這個討論的重點)，他們是在槍
蜥的帶領下才能有如此傑出的表現。球隊能拿下全聯盟最多勝，槍蜥的存在是關鍵中的關
鍵，他理應獲得年度最有價值球員的獎項，不是嗎？

Billups isn't just the best player on the best team. He's the guard who's done
more winning with his Pistons than Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars did with theirs.
槍蜥不只是本季戰績居全聯盟之冠的球隊中的最佳球員，他這個後衛在今年這支奪冠
機會濃厚的活塞陣中所扮演腳色重要性比起過去壞孩子時期，笑笑湯和老喬在隊上的重要
性相比可說是有過之而無不及。
Measured against the star power of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Steve Nash, Dirk
Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade, Billups remains the most deserving MVP candidate.
Punish him for leading a talent-heavy team that broke the franchise record of
63 victories? That's a fool's logic. Nash was throwing the ball to Amare
Stoudemire, Shawn Marion and Joe Johnson last year, and nobody held that
against him.
-- USA Today
和其他超級巨星Kobe、LBJ、Nash、司機、典韋相比，槍蜥仍是最有機會獲獎的一位。
他會因為帶領一支極具天份的球隊打破隊史最多63勝的紀錄而減低獲獎機會，那是笨蛋才
會有的思考邏輯。看看Nash去年會獲獎還不是因為他可以把球傳給小史、Matrix、J.J等人
，怎麼就沒人說他不該獲獎呢？

A fan's take:
Chauncey Billups is the Most Valuable Player in the league. What makes him
valuable is that he knows how to win. He doesn't have to score 40 points/night,
but he can if necessary. If another player is hot, he'll rack up the assists,
because he's not going to take points away from his teamates just to "get his".
He's had the most consistent season, and he has led his team to the league's
best record. See you in the Finals!

球迷的看法：
槍蜥是全聯盟最有價值球員，而他最有價值的一點在於他知道如何帶領球隊贏球。如
果必要他有能力一場比賽拿下40分，但他通常不這麼做。如果其他隊友的手感正熱，一有
機會他就會毫不猶豫把球遞過去，因為他不會為了要讓自己的帳面成績好看而剝奪隊友的
出手機會。他打出了最穩定、出色的一季，也帶領他的球隊拿下聯盟最佳戰績，總冠軍賽
見囉！
