이번주 MVP 순위 : 크리스 폴 여전히 1위

[Truth Hurts]

1. Chris Paul, Hornets (9-1)

Last Week's Rank - 1
Paul retains his top ranking in The Race after a week that included two of his four double-double games this season and the payback victory over Dallas Wednesday. He remains a model of efficiency as coach Monty Williams regulates Paul's minutes in an effort to fend off injuries.

2. Pau Gasol, Lakers (10-2)

Last Week's Rank -- 3
Three more double-doubles, the category in which he leads the NBA (he already has 10). Gasol took 47 shots in the Lakers' three games since last week's ranking and sank 29 of them.

3. Kobe Bryant, Lakers (10-2)

Last Week's Rank - 7
Bryant averaged 29.7 points and continues to do more with less. Or, more correctly, fewer. His minutes per game (33.3) are Bryant's lowest since his second season, yet his points per minute -- and shots per minute -- are second-highest of his career.

4. Dwight Howard, Magic (8-3)

Last Week's Rank - 8
So the Orlando strongman scores 25 points and plays 44 minutes in Toronto and the Magic lose. Then he averages 33 minutes and 18 points (and 12 rebounds) and his team goes 3-0.

5. Deron Williams, Jazz (8-4)

Last Week's Rank -- 2
Hard to say that Williams did anything wrong in slipping three spots in The Race. (OK, his assists slipped to 9.5 in four games, while his scoring was at 23.8 in the same span.) Can't quibble with the Jazz's 3-1 results.

6. Rajon Rondo, Celtics (9-2)

Last Week's Rank - 4
A light schedule, but Rondo packed 30 assists into the victories over Memphis and Washington. It's tempting to say he's chasing Bob Cousy, the only other Celtics point guard to win an MVP, except that Cousy's 21.7 ppg when he won the award in 1957 was nearly double what Rondo (10.9) is averaging.

7. Kevin Durant, Thunder (7-4)

Last Week's Rank - 6
Durant slips a spot after amassing 15 assists and 13 turnovers in four games since the last Race. The NBA's scoring leader also scored 111 points, one of the few who could do so and see his average drop.

8. Derrick Rose, Bulls (6-4)

Last Week's Rank - 5
Members of the committee who put great emphasis on an MVP candidate's supporting cast still are beating Rose's drum. The Bulls' point guard did average 30 points in a 2-1 week, hitting 36 of his 67 shots. But he only got to the foul line 14 times, which ought to be more like one game's worth.

9. Russell Westbrook, Thunder (7-4)

Last Week's Rank - NR
Westbrook looks like an early leader in the Most Improved Player Award and he grabs a rung on this MVP watch in the process. Granted, he has Durant to work with. But the Thunder's high-scoring forward had nothing to do with Westbrook sinking 24 of his past 25 free throws or getting them in the first place.

10. Dirk Nowitzki, Mavs (7-3)

Last Week's Rank - 9
The choice between Nowitzki and the remaining frontcourt candidates -- such as Carmelo Anthony, Paul Millsap, Luis Scola and Al Horford -- comes to down the Dallas marksman's perceived workload (although Anthony is averaging 9.4 points more than Denver's next-highest scorer), the W-L results and what appears to be Nowitzki's improved defensive play.

크리스 폴이 지난 주에 이어 계속 1위를 지키는 가운데

레이커스는 파우 가솔과 코비 브라이언트가 2, 3위에,

썬더스는 케빈 듀란트와 러셀 웨스트브룩이 7, 9위에

2명씩 후보로 올라와 있습니다.

아직 시즌 초반이기에 시즌 후반이 되어야 어느 정도 윤곽이 잡힐 것 같습니다.

[[LAL]롤로]

가솔의 위엄인가?

[까망엘프]

폴과 가솔의 위엄이군요...우왕~~

[hollywood visitor]

이번주도 르브롱쿠스와 웨이드가 없는 MVP순위..

[Handsome Gay]

폴폴폴

[망고향인생]

가솔 ㅎㄷㄷㄷ

[BIG KG]

론도 듀랭이 웃어요~

[BlockSmith]

슈가는 코비, 스포는 듀랭이뿐이군요.. 포가와 빅맨의 시즌~~

[epiclevel]

mvp2,3위가 함께 뛰는 레이커스,.개인적으론 하워드보다 론도가 4위에 어울린다고 보는데,.

[LAL-브라이언Kim]

가솔이 코비를 앞질렀네요. 최근 활약이 좋이니 ㅋㅋ

[The-Man]

히트가 기대치가 높긴 높나보네요. 7승 4패,득실마진1위에 이피션시 8위,10위인 르브론,웨이드가 안 보이니...

[irishman]

폴 mvp함 먹고 역대 반열로 올라가보자ㅎㅎㅎ 넌 충분히 역대 포인트가드 탑3 안에 들만한 천부적인 재능이 있다!!!

[UnluckyMDE]

탑2까지 바라볼수 있을듯 싶어요 ㄷㄷ

[마이클 코비]

근데 mvp 투표는 폴이 1위인데 최고포가는 데론을 언급하는 사람이 많은 이 모순된 현실. 참 이상하네요.

[바스켓맨。]

제 예상은 LAL의 두 콤비는 MVP못탈거 같네요. 둘다 너무 잘해서 표가 분산될 거 같구요. 서부 2위가 뉴올이냐, 유타냐, 오클이냐에 따라서 MVP향방이 갈릴 거 같습니다. 서부 2위가 뉴올이 되면 폴이 타고,.. 유타, 오클도 마찮가지구요.

[시라노]

샌안은 전체1위를 해도 아무도 MVP순위에 못오르는군여.. 오클은 2명이나 오르는데... 마누정도면 괜찮은데

[단테존스]

확실히 뉴올경기보면 폴이 스탯이상의 무언가가 있나보네요

[I LOVE AI]

그니깐 왜 샌안은 없지요?

[망고향인생]

기자들 조차도 샌안이 지금 1위를 달리고 있다는 것을 인지 하지 못하는 것 같은데요??ㅎㅎ

[Artois]

3년전에 맡겨둔 트로피... 이젠 찾아올시간입니다.
