How come no one mentions defense when LeBron is discussed as MVP, yet they do for Nash? Bron is a better defender, yes, but not significantly better and he remains one of the weaker defenders among elite players.

Both Nash and LeBron are MVP candidates because they are carrying their respective teams and their offensive brilliance rightfully outshines their lack of defense. People shouldn't be ragging on Nash's defense and then proclaiming LeBron the MVP, but I've seen it done.
