It's been six years since Suns' guard Steve Nash won the second of his back-to-back NBA Most Valuable Player Awards. But at the age of 38, Nash is still collecting hardware. Hoopshype.com, a popular basketball website, has named Nash its "Tweeter of the Year" for the second straight season. "It ranks high," Nash said in an interview with Hoopshype when asked how prestigious this honor is. "To be able to go back-to-back and beat people like Jared Dudley and Kevin Durant - there are some great tweeters out there. So to be able to out-tweet those guys, it means all those hours of boredom have paid off." Arizona's Sports Page

Dudley on his fourth dunk of his season being possibly his best over Granger: "I've got so many. It's up there. It was a good dunk. Hand was over the rim. It takes me about 40 games to get my legs under me. It's how my body reacts. Arizona Republic

It’s not just the 800,000+ people that follow them that notice either. It’s national basketball websites too. Both Nash and Dudley are up for this year’s HoopsHype 2011 Tweeter of the Year. Currently Nash is leading the field of 16 and Dudley is not far behind in third. If Nash’s lead holds up it will be the second consecutive year he won the award (Nash being named the best at something in back-to- back years? Yeah, he’s familiar with that.) If you enjoy two of the Suns’ bigger characters, make sure to cast your vote here and show them some support. Suns.com

The way Jared Dudley speaks has much in common with the way he plays. The words run into each other quickly and logically across a variety of topics. His style of play is equally fast and smart and versatile. Put it all together and those who know him are unable to find the words to describe him. "It's hard to explain him,'' said Suns coach Alvin Gentry. "I was trying to think of anybody else in sports that you could relate to him. But I can't think of anybody, he's just so unique." SI.com

The Suns' base of talent has been diminishing in recent years, yet they've remained upbeat because of the optimistic leadership of Nash, Grant Hill and Dudley. At 26, Dudley's more accomplished teammates are at least a decade older than him, and he's trying to learn as much as he can from them. He slimmed down to his current 225 pounds by following Nash's diet advice after Dudley was traded to the Suns from Charlotte midway through his second NBA season in 2008-09. "He doesn't even treat himself, because he wants to be able to still play," said Dudley of Nash's refusal of desserts and other sweets. "People say, 'when is he going to slow down?' He knows if he starts slipping on his diet, it will be quicker to that [decline]." SI.com

Suns swingman Jared Dudley is one of the more fun guys to talk to around the league, a guy kind of up for anything. Like making fun of the future broadcasting career we all know he has. Best part of this is the end when Dudley tries to broadcast a youth badminton game. Yelling “miss” at the junior high kids on the other team. Sweet. NBCSports.com
