PHOENIX (AP) -- Steve Nash will be named the NBA's most valuable player for the second year in a row, The Arizona Republic reported on Wednesday.
The newspaper cited a league source familiar with the voting, but said the official announcement may not come for two weeks.
The Phoenix Suns playmaker would become the 1s0th player to win the award in consecutive seasons.
"Anytime you sit back and think about just winning it once, it's mind-boggling -- the company and what it means in the history of the game," Nash said after Wednesday's shootaround. "To win it twice obviously just compounds that. It's just an incredible honor. I think it's a tribute to what this game allows people to do if they work hard."

PHOENIX (AP) -- The Bowl Championship Series on Wednesday lowered the bar for at-large qualifiers.
Instead of having to finish in the top 12 of the final BCS standings, teams finishing in the top 14 will now be eligible for one of the lucrative postseason berths. The change reflects the addition of a fifth BCS bowl, which means there will be 10 BCS slots instead of eight next season.
"There's a lot of logic to that because of the additional two slots," BCS coordinator and SEC commissioner Mike Slive said as three days of meetings ended Wednesday.
Any Division I-A team is eligible for at-large consideration. The BCS did not change its automatic qualifiers -- the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the final standings; the champions of the Big East, Big Ten, Southeastern, Pac-10, Big 12 and Atlantic Coast Conferences; Notre Dame if it finishes in the top eight; and a non-BCS team that finishes in the top 12, or in the top 16 if they're ahead of a BCS champion.
