G MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT% 77 37.5 25.1 4.2 7.9 1.1 0.6 .441 .333 .858 Last Week's Rank - 1 Resistance is futile -- and at this point, contrarian, self-indulgent and embarrassing. When a numbers fetishist claims that Rose's performance in 2010-11 ranks no higher than sixth place on a five-slot ballot, that person is imagining some other, non-existent award. Go buy a trophy -- say, a big bronze slide-rule -- slap a name on it and hand that out. Just don't call it the MVP. 2. Dwight Howard, Magic (50-29) G MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT% 76 37.7 23.1 14.1 1.3 1.3 2.4 .596 .000 .592 Last Week's Rank - 2 We can agree with Stan Van Gundy that no player in the league this season affected as many possessions as Howard, a standard that his backers embrace. But given the Magic's No. 4 seed -- and the possessions Howard isn't around for because of those suspension-triggering technicals -- he hasn't affected enough games (which are more than a stack of possessions, stats mongers). 3. Kobe Bryant, Lakers (55-23) G MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT% 78 33.9 25.1 5.1 4.7 1.2 0.1 .451 .315 .828 Last Week's Rank - 3 "If L.A. runs the table [from a 16-1 post-All-Star stretch], Bryant will be hard to ignore in this Race." That was last week's pledge. Since then: 1-3. The Lakers' shooting star isn't getting ignored here -- third place is pretty strong -- but with that cast, that coach, expectations may have been met but they were not exceeded. And the "Kobe has only one MVP" gripe has no bearing on a seasonal award. A "career MVP" award doesn't exist -- it's called a Hall of Fame induction. 4. LeBron James, Heat (54-24) G MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT% 76 38.8 26.7 7.5 7.0 1.5 0.6 .509 .331 .759 Last Week's Rank - 4 Critics who latched onto the Heat's loss to an already-eliminated Milwaukee, with Dwyane Wade sitting out, weren't playing fair in pushing a one-game sample size at The Race. More compelling is that, while Miami fans argue over James or Wade as their team's deserving MVP rep, James, Wade and Chris Bosh all have publicly backed Rose. James knows his past two seasons were more special, and more deserving, than this one. 5. Kevin Durant, Thunder (52-26) G MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT% 74 39.3 27.8 6.9 2.8 1.1 1.0 .460 .351 .879 Last Week's Rank - 6 This is a trickier spot than one might expect, since it's the last slot on the actual MVP ballot and thus carries real weight (our Nos. 6-10 are for argument's sake and variety during the season). Durant, the preseason MVP pick of many, has been doing some volume shooting -- he was 38 of 92 (41.3 percent) this week for his 27.3 ppg -- en route to a second straight scoring title. 6. Dirk Nowitzki, Mavs (53-25) G MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT% 69 34.3 23.0 7.0 2.5 0.5 0.7 .518 .396 .890 Last Week's Rank - 5 Not an MVP-worthy push to the end by the Dirkster or his team, which is OK given Dallas' ambitions for playing into late May and June. But they don't get to have those if not for Nowitzki's accuracy from the field and the line or his scoring (Mavs are 36-13 when he scores at least 20). 7. Dwyane Wade, Heat (54-24) --> 一整个被鬼隐... G MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT% 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 .000 .000 .000 Last Week's Rank - 7 Turns out Wade and James were right early in the season when they said that teaming up would hurt their MVP chances. Most top candidates -- think Rose or Howard -- face this reality nightly: "If I don't do it tonight, no one else here will." The two Heat stars, with each other around, knew that pressure up until this season but freed themselves from it in July. Made them great contenders for the Larry O'Brien trophy but not the Maurice Podoloff. 8. Manu Ginobili, Spurs (60-19) G MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT% 78 30.7 17.7 3.7 4.9 1.6 0.4 .432 .349 .869 Last Week's Rank - NR Since were down in the ceremonial spots, we're giving a big ceremonial round of applause to Ginobili, who shouldered his greatest share of Spurs responsibility yet in that team's changing dynamic. Sure, he has help. Sure, his stats sometimes look like a relative train wreck. But the best record in the league doesn't materialize in San Antonio if this guy isn't Swiss-Army-knifing all over the court for Popovich and crew. 9. Russell Westbrook, Thunder (52-26) G MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT% 78 34.9 21.8 4.6 8.2 1.8 0.4 .438 .330 .839 Last Week's Rank - 8 He wasn't asked to be Derrick Rose, he hasn't had to be Rose and he isn't Rose, so enough with the fantasy-league comparisons. Incredible athlete, marvelous sidekick, still-formidable upside. But carrying a team and moving up this list is something for 2011-12, not now. 10. Pau Gasol, Lakers (55-23) G MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT% 78 37.0 18.9 10.1 3.3 0.6 1.6 .530 .333 .821 Last Week's Rank - NR If Miami and OKC have tandems worthy of consideration, how can the Lakers not? Gasol's skills and Bryant's ability to play with him (most of the time) are inseparable from what L.A. has and still might accomplish. Odom will win the Sixth Man Award because Gasol holds down the starter's spot. Bynum gets all the hand-writing because Gasol gets taken for granted up front. (Take heart, LaMarcus Aldridge, you'll do better in the Most Improved Player balloting.) http://ppt.cc/SomH --
