Race to the MVP - The Top 10

1. LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers | Team Record: 12-3

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
27.9	7.2	6.3	1.9	0.9	.487	.786

Last Week's Rank - 1
With the exception of facing the New York media on Tuesday and getting hit on by them ("So, LeBron, are you doing anything in 2010, because if you're not, we could, you know, get a cup of coffee or something.), James had a breezy week as the Cavs notched 14-, 18- and 35-point wins this week. The Cavs were so crushing the Thunder, James played a mere 17 minutes on Wednesday.

2. Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers | Team Record: 12-1

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
23.7	5.0	3.9	1.8	0.7	.452	.831

Last Week's Rank - 2
For the first two games of this week, Kobe actually had a very Kobe week (A Very Kobe Week? Sounds like a show on The Disney Channel.), scoring 53 points helped by a 22-for-38 performance from the field in those games. Then, against New Jersey, went 5-for-17 and had 12 points. What gives? Not the Lakers, evidently. They're so good now that they don't need Kobe to take over for them to win.

3. Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets | Team Record: 9-5

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
20.6	5.7	12.0	2.9	0.2	.524	.865

Last Week's Rank - 7
Welcome back, Mr. Paul. Your top three table is waiting. Despite dropping to No. 7 last week, we always have a spot reserved here for Paul. He's too good to keep down on the list. This week, he showed why he's a legit MVP candidate: four Hornets' wins, three on the road, two triple-doubles and a partridge in a pear tree. Paul followed a 29-point, 16-dime and 10-board game against the Thunder with a 14-17-10 performance in L.A. against the Clippers two nights later. And, in the Hornets' win on Thursday, he hit some huge shots down the stretch.

4. Dwight Howard, Orlando Magic | Team Record: 12-4

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
21.2	13.5	1.5	0.9	3.9	.588	.572

Last Week's Rank - 5
After a sub-par 13-point, nine-board performance in a loss to Houston last Friday, Howard turned it around this week. He had a stellar 24-point, 13-rebound and six-block performance against Milwaukee and averaged 23.7 points, 13.7 boards and 3.7 blocks in three games. It's weird to see a guy average two times as many block as assists, but that's Dwight's game and that's why he's this high -- defense. That, and he can dunk ... which he may not do this year at All-Star Weekend.

5. Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat | Team Record: 7-8

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
27.4	4.9	7.5	2.5	1.7	.482	.747

Last Week's Rank - 4
Could you imagine how good the Heat would be if they had ... Oh, who cares? You can speculate all you want, but Wade's having a superlative season on both ends of the floor. I remember Craig Sager playfully teasing Wade about his defense during the Olympics and saying that Pat Riley would love to see that kind of intensity in the regular season. Wade's defense made it through customs. He's second in the NBA in steals with 2.5 thefts per and is the only guard in the top 15 in blocks, with 1.7 per game. Oh, and he's third in the league in scoring, just behind of ...

6. Chris Bosh, Toronto Raptors | Team Record: 7-7

27.6	10.5	2.0	0.6	0.9	.556	.826

What a week for Bosh. Too bad the Raptors as a whole couldn't follow suit. They played an instant classic against the Nets and Bosh had 42, but the Raptors fell -- on a Vince Carter dunk, no less -- in OT. Then came the debacle against the Celtics, and Bosh became visibly frustrated. Bosh then put up 39 and 11 in Toronto's win over Charlotte. Another impressive stat: his stamina. He averaged 43 minutes per game. Let's hope he's not worn down by the end of the season.

7. Tim Duncan, san Antonio Spurs | Team Record: 8-6

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
21.7	9.9	3.3	0.2	1.7	.537	.675

Last Week's Rank - OLI
Welcome back to the top 10, Big Fundamental. (May I call you Fundamental?) You're here because you're single-handedly keeping the Spurs afloat this season. You haven't had Tony Parker, and you just got Manu Ginobili back, but the Spurs are over .500 in a rugged Western Conference because of you. Yes, you. And you know what's impressive? You're averaging 16.5 shots per game, the most since 2003-04 and your shooting percentage is .537, your highest in two seasons. Some things do get better with age.

8. Amar'e Stoudemire, Phoenix Suns | Team Record: 11-5

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
22.2	7.9	1.8	1.2	1.4	.568	.836

Mr. Stoudemire is in danger of sliding out of the top 10. That's rough justice, but I'm just not feeling the intensity from STAT this season. Maybe it's the change in offense and maybe Shaq's stealing some of the youngster's thunder, but 22.2 points and 7.9 boards per game average just seems ... average. What happened to the unstoppable Amar'e? I miss his ferocity.

9. Paul Pierce, Boston Celtics | Team Record: 14-2

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
19.1	7.1	3.7	1.3	0.3	.408	.833

Last Week's Rank - 10
It'd be nice to see Pierce increase his accuracy (though, he's often the guy chucking up the shot as the shot clock winds down ... that'll kill anyone's percentage), but we'll take his increased intensity on the boards, where he's averaging seven-plus boards per game for the first time since 2002-03.

10. Chauncey Billups, Denver Nuggets | Team Record: 10-6

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
16.4	2.8	6.8	1.5	0.4	.384	.889

Last Week's Rank - 3
I don't think you can underestimate how important Billups has been to the Nuggets, but as some readers wrote in, his influence isn't tangible in his individual numbers. Translation: his numbers stink. And even I must admit his shot looks off right now and his .384 shooting percentage won't get him much love going forward. Then again, ESPN.com's Bill Simmons covered this in his first NBA column: the Nuggets now have offensive discipline. That, and Billups can still shoot free throws.

Dropping out: Carlos Boozer

Outside looking in, for now, in alphabetical order: Carmelo Anthony, Carlos Boozer, Kevin Garnett, Pau Gasol, Danny Granger, Joe Johnson, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Derrick Rose, Brandon Roy

[Bostnism]

가넷이 없으니까 좀 이상하네요. ㅎㅎ 이제 스탯올리고 MVP레이스에 뛰어들어야지!!

[Dub 55]

한경기에 블락슛 4개를 어떻게할까?..와..

[Phoenix Suns]

아마레, 피어스, 빌럽스는 좀..아무리 팀성적도 중요하지만 피어스나 빌럽스 스탯으로 mvp먹으면 뻘쭘할듯;;

[kilbut]

스탯만 본다면 크리스폴이 최고네요...20득점에 12개의 어시스트를 하면서 50프로를 넘는 필드골 성공률은 대체....

[Bostnism]

더 놀라운것은 리바가 거의 6개네요

[forever모닝]

와데 팀 성적이,,ㅜㅜ그리 안 좋은게 아닌데 다른 mvp 경쟁자들에 비하면 좀 안습,,;;
