MVP Rankings from NBA.com for week 1 of the very young season...

1. Carmelo Anthony

2. Paul Pierce

3. Kobe Bryant

4.Dwayne Wade

5.Dwight Howard

6. Steve Nash

7. Joe Johnson

8. Trevor Ariza

9. Chris Bosh

10. Lebron James

I thought it was funny as hell to see Trevor on this list and Lebron at number 10. They should honestly wait till after the midpoint of the season to do these rankings because everyone's numbers are inflated and by then they will have regressed to the mean. Then again maybe they use this for fantasy leagues or etc. but i dont know...the list just seems very silly.

It is a bit too early for MVP rankings and Power rankings but ....

Congrats to Trevor! just saying :) I want to see him do well (just not against LA).

Honestly, there are a lot of players right now that “could” be MVPs at this stage … I don’t think it’ll be clearer who’s MVP until mid-season.

Right now, it’s just “oh look who’s been impressive these past 6/7 games”

It is too early, but your rankings 1-5 above are about on the mark, I think.

wow

I had to do a double take when I saw Trevor’s name up there. I’m happy for him.

On the other side I have to point out if Pierce and Melo would be above Kobe if their number two offensive player was out just like Gasol been. I’m just saying…
