  • 1. Tracy McGrady 6-8 SG Orlando /
    Statistics: 30.4 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 4.3 apg, 1.60 spg, 0.97 bpg, 46.8 FG%
    With Grant Hill sidelined most of the time, he's been playing an even bigger offensive role for his team lately. Defenses have been more focused on slowing him down, which has not prevented him from scoring an awful lot.

  • 2. Kobe Bryant 6-6 SG LA Lakers /
    Statistics: 27.0 ppg, 7.6 rpg 7.2 apg, 2.12 spg, 44.2 FG%
    Has moved ahead of Allen Iverson in the scoring charts while averaging more than seven assists per game. A selfish player?
  • 3. Kevin Garnett 6-11 PF Minnesota /
    Statistics: 21.8 ppg, 13.1 rpg, 5.6 apg, 1.44 spg, 1.56 bpg, 45.7 FG%
    Wally Szczerbiak and Terrell Brandon are not playing, so you could say Kevin Garnett has almost single-handily taken the Minnesota Timberwolves to the middle of the pack in the Western Conference.
  • 4. Shaquille O'Neal 7-1 C LA Lakers
    Statistics: 26.3 ppg, 11.0 rpg, 2.6 apg, 2.19 bpg, 57.4 FG%
    Business as usual for Shaq. He would probably lead the league in scoring if he played 40 minutes per contest.
  • 5. Tim Duncan 7-0 PF San Antonio /
    Statistics: 23.1 ppg, 12.6 rpg, 3.5 apg, 2.88 bpg, 49.4 FG%
    He is the second most dominant player in the game and has started to put that clear again in the past few weeks after a so-so start.
  • 6. Jason Kidd 6-4 PG New Jersey /
    Statistics: 20.4 ppg, 8.9 apg, 5.9 rpg, 2.18 spg, 46.1 FG%, 39.3 FG%
    His percentages from beyond the arc are now better than his field-goal percentages were last season. That may tell you something about how much his jump shot has improved.
  • 7. Dirk Nowitzki 7-0 PF Dallas /
    Statistics: 22.4 ppg, 10.5 rpg, 2.7 apg, 1.53 spg, 1.17 bpg, 44.9 FG%
    The German forward is averaging career-highs in rebounds, assists and steals. He used to shoot the ball better in previous seasons, though.
  • 8. Chris Webber 6-10 PF Sacramento
    Statistics: 22.9 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 5.0 apg, 1.66 spg, 46.4 FG%, 57.1 FT%
    There is no other pure power forward in the league with such a big offensive arsenal. For some reason, he's struggling from the charity stripe this year.
  • 9. Gary Payton 6-4 PG Seattle
    Statistics: 21.7 ppg, 9.3 apg, 4.7 rpg, 1.53 spg, 46.0 FG%
    Things have not been going well for the Sonics lately, but you can't hardly put the blame on Payton.
  • 10. Steve Francis 6-3 PG Houston /
    Statistics: 23.5 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 6.0 apg, 1.61 spg, 43.6 FG%
    Francis may not be as impressive as he was earlier this season, but he is still one of the best point guards in the NBA this year.
  • 11. Paul Pierce 6-6 SG Boston /
    Statistics: 25.5 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 4.4 apg, 2.06 spg, 38.6 FG%
    He's been scoring more and not so often passing the ball lately. A lock for the All-Star Game, but not a contender for the MVP Award right now.
  • 12. Allen Iverson 6-0 SG Philadelphia /
    Statistics: 26.8 ppg, 4.4 apg, 3.9 rpg, 2.82 spg, 39.2 FG%
    He's been shooting below 36 per cent from the floor for the last two weeks. Too bad -- even for Iverson standards.
  • 13. Jermaine O'Neal 6-11 PF Indiana /
    Statistics: 20.2 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 2.3 apg, 1.62 bpg, 47.9 FG%
    This Jermaine O'Neal has nothing to do with the one that showed up in the World Championship. By far, the most dominant player near the rim in the Eastern Conference.
  • 14. Elton Brand 6-8 PF LA Clippers
    Statistics: 18.6 ppg, 11.5 rpg, 3.13 bpg, 2.2 apg, 49.3 FG%
    He's putting up numbers similar to those of Jermaine O'Neal. Unlike O'Neal, he's losing.
  • 15. Antoine Walker 6-9 PF Boston /
    Statistics: 22.0 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 4.6 apg, 2.00 spg, 39.4 FG%
    Not as good as he was last year, but a factor in every game he plays with the Boston Celtics

"A Selfish Player?" Thats what im saying, these fools who got the selfish idea back when he was 20 (he was quite the selfish player back then) just have that image of him stuck in their head. Right now he is one of the most unselfish guards in the game. Now lets see, whos word is more creditable when it comes to judging Kobe and how selfish he is. CZAR and a few of his fellow Laker haters, who would love nothing more then to ridicule Kobe... or professional analysis from NBA.com.. hmmm, i think ill take the NBA on this one! Good shit WICKED! These folks will realize soon enough that Kobe is the MVP and the best player in the NBA.

No were not going to be dissapointed, your just trying to hype this all up so you can talk a gang of shit if he doesnt win it. Ive said it like 5 times now, but here it goes again for the impaired. Were not saying he will win the MVP trophy, were saying he is the most valuable player (generally speaking) in the game, and that RIGHT NOW he is a candidate for the trophy. So quit with all this dissapointement shit, remember your vick prediction? You thought he was the MVP at that time, but things changed, same shit. Wait till right before the presentation, if we still have him as the winner and he doesnt win it, then you can talk about dissapointment.

Wern't you going on and on about how NBA.com didnt have Kobe as the top 5, and the top 5 you provided were "official" because it was from NBA.com. Now that Kobe is #2 on their... what... it no longer counts? Whats up with that?

Also wicked, u can say Webber wont win it, I dont care, its not like I been sayin Webber is the best player in the league all year or MVP all year, like u guys say about Ko-Me!! And the MVP's are usually right, or real close for the most part, and yes we all will know who the real MVP is after the season if they dont pick the right one, but it wont be Ko-Me...thats for damn sure!!!

No, my point was to prove to you that a website listing 5 names doesnt mean shit. ESPN thinks those are the frontrunners, NBA.com thinks these others are. In a list of 20, yes I might throw Elton Brand up their.
