"also Wade is better than Shaq. Why do they always choose shaq??? "
--> Coz shaq is a nuclear bom whereas wade as good as he is, is at best 10000 lbs conventional mother bom.
Let me explain. Shaq can literally destroy ANY opposition. Wade, with due respect, can do that to many, but not to ALL/ANY.
---------------------
And regarding the MVP the criteria for selecting THE ONE aka MVP, my opinion consurs with that of methodman.
The media attention is on Shaq & Nash. Shaq as always, had a powerful season and with wade and co. made Heat the team to beat/avoid. And also, what happened to Lakers (?) after he left ( failed miserably to make playoff ) should count FOR him (at least psychologically for the ones casting the ballots).
Nash, well he is having a fantastic season. He is more or less is THE reason why his team is even in the play off ( Honorable mentions: Shawn Marion, Amare Stoudemire, Joe Johnson and Richardson who joined from the Los Angeles Clippers ) . With 15.5 points, 11.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game his stats are impressive, but purist might argue about his effectiveness on the defesive side of the game. They have only one argument against Nash and that is, the game is played in 94 ft. and not in just half of it.
Nevertheless, the bottom line is who was the most valuable for the team to WIN the games that they did in any given season, regardless of ANYTHIGN else. One averages 5 mins per game in a season but averages 30 pts with zero rebounds and 8 assits and coupla steals or so and 25 of his points are scored at the final crunch period, for me he is the MVP. Regardless of his lack of ability to play TOTAL GAME.
But well! I say it's a toss up between the two. Alas, they can only have one MVP.
