Race to The MVP !!!

Race to the MVP - The Top 10

1. Kevin Garnett, Boston | Team Record: 29-3

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
19.1	10.1	3.6	1.6	1.5	.555	.792

Last Week's Rank - 1
Some talking heads have said that KG won't win the MVP because he will be splitting votes with teammate Paul Pierce, who is also having an exceptional season. In the NFL, the Patriots' Randy Moss enjoyed a record-breaking season, but did that stop Tom Brady from being named the league's best player? Nope.

2. Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers | Team Record: 22-11

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
26.7	6.0	5.0	2.1	0.5	.439	.855

Last Week's Rank - 3
I had a hard time deciding on who should occupy the No. 2 spot this week - KB24 or CP3? In a must-see matchup, the best shooting guard in the Association and the best point guard in the Association take the floor tonight at 8 ET in New Orleans.

3. Chris Paul, New Orleans | Team Record: 23-11

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
21.6	3.9	10.3	3.0	0.0	.477	.885

Last Week's Rank - 4
In a conference full of dominant household names, Paul was chosen as the top player in the West for the month of December. While he may not hand out as many assists as Phoenix's Steve Nash or rebound like New Jersey's Jason Kidd, he does get more steals and points, while committing fewer turnovers than both of them.

4. Dwight Howard, Orlando | Team Record: 22-14

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
22.6	15.2	1.5	1.0	2.6	.609	.594

Last Week's Rank - 2
Man, it seems like the Magic haven't won a game all year (they are 0-3 in 2008). Howard followed up one of his worst games of the season (16 points, eight boards in a loss to the Rockets), by exploding for 29 points and 15 rebounds Monday against the Kings.

5. Paul Pierce, Boston | Team Record: 29-3

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
21.5	5.7	5.0	1.6	0.3	.444	.830

Last Week's Rank - 6
With Ray Allen considered day-to-day because of a pinched nerve in his neck, you can expect an increase in production from Pierce, who has been used to stepping up and doing whatever is necessary during his 10 seasons in Boston.

6. Steve Nash, Phoenix | Team Record: 24-10

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
16.9	3.7	12.2	0.7	0.1	.511	.891

Last Week's Rank - 5
Nash, who averages a league-high 12.2 dimes per contest, has reached double digits in assists in 10 straight games.

7. LeBron James, Cleveland | Team Record: 18-17

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
29.0	7.3	7.5	1.9	1.0	.476	.715

Last Week's Rank - 8
I was a little surprised by the amount of e-mails I received last week saying that James didn't belong in the top 10 because the Cavaliers were a below .500 team. After LBJ led Cleveland to four straight victories, I no longer have to worry about addressing that issue.

8. Allen Iverson, Denver | Team Record: 21-13

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
27.1	2.8	6.8	2.2	0.2	.466	.833

Last Week's Rank - 7
As a Sixers fan, I thought Iverson was going to hang 50 on us when we went to Denver last week. Luckily, we were able to shut him down ... he finished with only 38 points, eight assists and a win.

9. Baron Davis, Golden State | Team Record: 20-15

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
22.4	4.8	8.2	2.4	0.5	.418	.760

Last Week's Rank - 9
The casual fan loves Davis for his highlight reel dunks and passes, but hoop fantatics (you know, the ones that stay up past 1 a.m. ET to watch the Warriors on League Pass), love him for the not-so-easy-to-notice things he does on a nightly basis. In a win over the Spurs last week, he was responsible for 28 points (made basket or assist) in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter and overtime.

10. Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas | Team Record: 23-11

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
22.2	8.6	3.8	0.6	1.0	.473	.858

Last Week's Rank - 12
The reigning league MVP has heated up after a slow start to the season, averaging 25.6 points and 9.2 rebounds in his last 10 games for the Mavericks, who have won four straight.

Running the Floor

Jordan

I don't collect vintage coins or rare baseball cards, but I do have a hobby that I wish I could break before it sends me deeper into the poor house. In the basement of my house, you will find my Air Jordan sneaker collection. Counting retros, I have 41 pairs of Jordans lined up against a wall next to my washer and dryer. While searching the Web today, I see that the Air Jordan XX3's are going to cost me between $185 and $230 - depending on when I get them. Is it too late to start a stamp collection?

[현운데요]

디트는 좀..안습이네요...

[원병희-KOBYNUM]

코비 2위까지 올라왔다.... ㅎㄷㄷ....그런데 생각보다 제임스와 앤써의 순위가 낮네요. 제임스 계속 10위권 밖에 있다간 이 분 테러당하겠네요.... =_=

[Magician]

코비 분발하자!!

[조던23]

코비 역시 팀성적이 좋으니깐 올라가는구나..!! 진짜 르브론도 성적만 더 좋으면 단숨에 ㅎㄷㄷ해질텐데 스탯상과 팀의 절대적인 위치에서는 당신이 당연 MVP~!CP3도 역시 ㅎㄷㄷㄷㄷ

[The_Truth]

피어스가 5위......................................ㅠㅠ

[Breaker]

르브론 엄청 떨어졌네요 ㅠㅠ ㅎㄷㄷ...부상때문에 너무 타격이 큰듯

[휴~~]

에어 조던 23번째..@.@//

[ANsweR V]

그런데 이순위 누가 매기는 건가요? 이 순위가 최종mvp 뽑히는 것과 연관이 있는건지..??

[농구생활]

엔비에이 닷컴에서 칼럼니스트 한명이 선정 하는 것으로 알고있어요. 실제 엠브이피 선정과는 아무런 관계가 없지만 팬들이 올해 누가 엠브이피 될 것인가를 재미로 예측해보는 자료는 될 수 있겠죠.

[ANsweR V]

아, 역시 직접적인 관련은 없는거군요ㅎㅎ 감사합니다~

[Contradanza]

케빈 가넷이 MVP를 받는데 가장 큰 적은 코비브라이언트가 아니라 같은팀에 있는 폴 피어스일거 같군요.

[MC죠니]

코비보면 옛날에 앙리보는거같아서 안타까워요 ㅠㅠ 앙리도 맨날 올해의 선수상 2,3위언저리에서 왔다갔다하다 결국 한번도 못받았는데 .. 코비도 맨날 언저리에서 왔다갔다하는거 같아서 말이죠 ㅠㅠ 제발 코비 놓치고싶지않아!!!!!!!!!
