LeBron James Cleveland Cavaliers :: Team Record: 58-13

Last Week's Rank - 1 Each week new numbers pop up to prop up LeBron's MVP candidacy. In addition to having the NBA's best record, last Monday, James won his seventh Eastern Conference player of the week award. Only Dwyane Wade has as many as three in the East. On Wednesday, he became the only player besides the great Oscar Robertson to record as many as four 2,000-point, 500-rebound, 500-assist seasons as he led the Cavs' to a franchise-record 58th win. Another thing that has developed this week has been James' killer instinct. He's always had it (check Game 5, Eastern Conference Finals in 2007 against Detroit), but when he's not sitting out because the Cavs have a huge fourth-quarter lead, Against the Nets on Wednesday, he had a hand in all 12 points in the Cavs' closing 12-2 run. It's this aggressiveness which could be the difference between the Cavs' hosting every Game 7 or having to win one on the road.

Kobe Byrant L.A. Lakers :: Team Record: 57-14

Last Week's Rank - 3 Mr. Bryant, welcome back to the specially designed No. 2 pod. You have the Lakers at 57-14, a mere game behind LeBron's Cavs for best record in the NBA (and thanks to the Lakers' two wins over the Cavs, you hold the tie-breaker) and home-court advatange throughout the playoffs. You have mentioned being at home for every Game 7 (should a series reach that point) is nice, but you believe the Lakers can win anywhere, anytime. With the league's best road record, 26-9, who's to doubt you? You're also backing up your road warrior words as you have helped the Lakers to a pristine 3-0 on this current seven-game swing as you head into the Meadowlands on Friday to take on the struggling New Jersey Nets. The biggest question about that game will be: how many Lakers fans will be in the crowd to chant "M-V-P!"

Race to the MVP - The Others

3. Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat | Team Record: 38-34

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
29.8	5.1	7.6	2.3	1.4	.488	.764

Last Week's Rank - 2
After a season of brilliance, topped by six weeks of transcendent excellence, Wade and the Heat have hit a rough patch in the schedule. Wade's individual numbers, of course, were overall still stellar (29.0 ppg, 6.4 apg, 4.0 rpg), but the Heat have played five games in the seven days since our last rankings came out, and they've lost three of them, including a back-to-back to Indy and Chicago. The game in Nap-town was especially gruesome: 5-for-24 from the field.

4. Dwight Howard, Orlando Magic | Team Record: 53-18

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
21.1	14.0	1.4	1.0	3.0	.578	.601

Last Week's Rank - 4
On March 25, Howard had his second 20-20 game in 10 days with 24 points and 21 rebounds in the Magic's huge 84-82 win over the Celtics in Orlando. ?When he first came into the league, he beat people with pure athleticism. Then he started beating them with skill,? Celtics coach Doc Rivers told Yahoo! Sports. ?When he gets the whole package together I hope I?ll be doing television.? Good sentiment, as Howard denied Paul Pierce a chance to tie the contest with a game-saving block. But, when Doc mentions the whole package, he's right there too. Howard didn't score in the fourth quarter of that game.

5. Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets | Team Record: 44-26

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
22.2	5.4	10.9	2.8	0.1	.502	.870

Last Week's Rank - 5
Why have the Hornets been successful this season? The main reason: Paul, of course. The other reason? Defense. So says Hornets coach Byron Scott in the Times-Picayune: "I think if you look since the All-Star break when we got back into it, I think our defense has been fantastic. I think that's one of the reasons we're (14-6) since then." That, and you have an MVP candidate in Paul who leads the league in steals with 2.8 steals per game.

6. Deron Williams, Utah Jazz | Team Record: 44-27

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
18.9	2.9	10.5	1.1	0.3	.471	.832

Last Week's Rank -- 6
Northwest Division point guards are finding the going rough in Phoenix (see also: Chauncey Billups, No. 9). Williams and the Jazz's most recent road stumble (they haven't beaten a team with a plus-.500 record on the road this season) came against the Suns on Wednesday.

7. Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs | Team Record: 47-24

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
19.8	10.6	3.7	0.6	1.8	.502	.698

Last Week's Rank - 7
And the Spurs' MVP is ... Tony Parker? So says the Big Fundamental: "I think absolutely. Of course I'm biased, obviously. But with the position that we're in -- second or seventh in the West, however many games it can switch -- we're right in the mix with that. The amount of injuries we've been dealing with all year .... he's keeping this team consistent. He's been the consistent one all year long. Absolutely, he should be at least given an opportunity to be one of those top five." The sentiment is nice, Tim, but you're the man on the Spurs.

8. Brandon Roy, Portland Trail Blazers | Team Record: 43-26

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
23.0	4.8	5.2	1..1	0.3	.478	.830

Last Week's Rank - 8
After four games in five nights last week, Roy and the Blazers have had only three games since the last Race column. They sandwiched two nice wins, one on the road in Milwaukee and one at home against Phoenix around a nasty loss to the Sixers at the Rose Garden on Tuesday. Roy being a cold 5-for-18 from the field had something to do with the loss. Roy's 26 in Portland's 129-109 shellacking of the Suns was more like it.

9. Chauncey Billups, Denver Nuggets | Team Record: 46-26

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
18.4	3.0	6.3	1.2	0.2	.422	.908

Last Week's Rank - 9
Cliche alert! March came in like a lion for Billups and the Nuggets as they lost five of six. Since then, the Nuggets -- who seem a little chippy -- have won six of seven with the only loss being a tough one in Phoenix and the most impressive win coming on Wednesday in New Orleans as Billups went for 26 points, six boards and six dimes. The Nuggets have a 1 1/2-game lead over the Jazz in the Northwest Division.

10. Yao Ming, Houston Rockets | Team Record: 47-26

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
19.6	9.7	1.8	0.4	1.9	.546	.870

Last Week's Rank - 10
Could Yao and the Rockets be a little pooped? Possibly. Yao has scored a mere 41 points in the last three games as the Rockets concluded a stretch of 15 games in a 25 days ... and now, they a game Saturday and not another 'til next Wednesday. The break should allow the Rockets and Yao to rest and work out some kinks according to the Houston Chronicle: "We practiced (Monday)," Rockets coach Rick Adelman said. "We actually went two hours. Even though it wasn?t a strenuous practice, we covered a lot of stuff. That?s what we?re planning on doing for the next week.?

[For!Wade]

에궁 웨이드가 3위로 밀렸네요..ㅎㅎ 뭐 코비와의 2,3위 대결이라면 순위가 어떻든 수긍이 되지만요.ㅎ 어쩃든 르브롱...올해 니가 mvp먹는거에 100원걸겠다.

[Leiwoorong]

야옹이..."흥... 난 Cool하니깐~~~!"ㅋㅋ

[그런거없]

데롱이가 6위네요 애매하게 기쁘네ㅋ

[Allen]

학 카멜로 20위네요. 이런..

[벤 월러스]

유타 재즈 시즌 초반 상황 생각해보고 데롱이도 부상이었던거 생각해보면 참 대단하네요... 정말 얼마나 대단한 활약을 해야 그 상황에서 저 정도까지 랭크가 될수 있는건지... 다른 선수들이 모두 대단한 선수들이라는걸 감안하면 로이, 빌럽스도 흐뭇하군요...

[Show Time†]

파우 가솔 11위도 눈여겨 볼만한 순위네요. 요새 워낙 잘하고 있죠. 제 2의 전성기를 찾은 듯.

[인터넷리]

스탯 진짜 엄청나네요...그러면서도 전혀 무리하는것 같아 보이지 않는 저 스케일...르브론이 5년연속 mvp가져 가겠습니다.

[인터넷리]

그거 아시나요? 프로 스포츠에서 5회 이상의 mvp를 가져간 선수는 프로화된 모든 종목을 따져도 10명도 안된다는걸? 제가 아는바로는 조던이랑, 아이스하키의 그 웨인스킨가? 머 몇명 안됩니다. 암둘자바? 아무튼 이제 르브론이 다 가져 가겠습니다!!

[#20. Gary Payton☆]

웨인 그레츠키가 제기억에 9번이엇나.. 그랫던거 같고 야구에 약물본즈가 7회인가..그레츠키는 하키에서 조던급혹은 그 이상이죠..솔직히..

[[31]Dynamic LJ]

Great one 그레츠키는 8번 연속에 총 9회수상일겁니다. 80부터 87까지..뭐 그의 99번은 킹즈뿐아니라 리그전체의 영구결번이고 조던과의 리그에서의 영향력에 관한 투표도 압도적이었죠..

[웅컁컁]

압둘자바 MVP6회로 최다아닌가요 ㅎ

[캠프만세]

8.........................회연속 MVP라...

[인터넷리]

그레츠키였군요^^ 웨인스키는 도대체 어디서 나온...근데 정말 어마어마하네요..8회연속으로 엠뷔피 실력이 계속 나올수가 있는건가요? 본즈도 깜빡했군요. 역시 실력에 걸맞게 받았군요. 르브론이 딱 7회 갔으면 좋겠네요~

[NBA on ESPN]

르브론의 시즌 MVP로 사실상 기울어졌다고 봅니다. 팀 성적이 코비와 비슷하게만 가도 유리한데 아직 앞서있으니 더 이상 망설일 필요가 전혀 없죠.

[키드가 되고싶어요~~^^;;]

클블이 급연패모드를 보이지 않는한은 무난하게 브롱이가 가져갈거 같습니다 어느새 잔여시즌도 10경기정도밖에 안남았고 시즌중반까지 대체적인 예상이 경기수에서 5,6경기 이상으로 벌어지지 않는한 리그전체 1위를 레이커스가 해도 브롱이 쪽이 유력하다 였죠 최근 클블의 페이스를 보면 급연패나 패배를 쉽게 기록할거 같지도 않네요

[s그린로즈s]

올시즌은 브롱이가 마땅히 받아야된다고 생각되네요. 작년에 코비가 MVP 수상한것처럼요 ~

[도마사]

그러고보면 작년에 코비가 탄 것은 참 다행이네요. 만약 폴이 탔으면 두고두고 기회를 놓칠듯 합니다. 브롱이 포스 때문에요.

[[CLE]왕제임스!]

달려줘 브롱아!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Leiwoorong]

폴의 스텟은 거의 신급이네...ㅡㅡ

[Go Ray]

스텟은 폴이 진짜 괴물이죠

[VV 아이쿠야]

저 열명으로 10인 로테이션 돌리면 전승 가능할까요? ㅎㅎㅎㅎ

[빈스 카터]

보스턴 선수는 한명도없다는걸 감안하면...보스턴에게 운나쁘면 질수도 있겠네요.. 한게임 정도는..

[티맥왕]

전승할꺼같은데요.....주전빠지면 울트라 슈퍼급 주전인데....누가 주전이 될지도참.... 웨이드코비를 다넣고 스몰라인업 돌리기도 그렇고...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 코비웨이드를 모두 주전으로 넣는다고 하면 제맘대로 스몰라인업 드와잇-르브론-코비-웨이드-폴 인데....후보는 야오-던컨-로이-빌업스-데롱 주전이랑 후보랑 누가더센가요?ㅋㅋ

[회춘오닐]

팀이만들어지는순간 nba는 가장재미없는 스포츠종목으로

[kidd the best]

팀 캐미를 위해선 주전은 하워드-던컨-르브론-코비-폴.. 이게 낫겠다는..

[NBA on ESPN]

데롱이.. 시즌 초반 부상과 팀의 부상으로 까먹은 승률 감안하면.. MVP레이스 6위는 만족할만 합니다.

[FlyingKOBE]

데롱이 힘내서 20-10 부탁함 ㅋㅋ

[Unlucky MDE]

가드는 뭐 MVP 8위했는데 서드팀하게 생겼네요

[마퀸 신들러]

브랜든 로이도 많이 컸군요
