MVP Rankings from NBA.com for week 1 of the very young season...
2. Paul Pierce
3. Kobe Bryant
4.Dwayne Wade
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”
Lakers 2009 Road to Redemption: TREVOR, DEREK, LAMAR, PAU & KOBE.
Play the game of which Lakers reminds you of: TA - TI, Shannon Brown - Chris Brown, Pau Gasol - Jesus, Machine - Luis Scola/Russell Brand, PJ with mustache and beard - Colonel Sanders.

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…

these rankings are old
They were made when the Celtics and Nuggets were still undefeated and the Lakers were a less impressive 3-1.
If the rankings went up now, Kobe would probably be first OR maybe Melo would be. Melo’s been having an amazing season thus far.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

To me it's too early
but MVP races are kind of college football’s pre-season polls. If a player can maintain the lead they were spotted, then they have a great shot.
Last year LBJ was the pre-season pick and he lived up to expectations. Right now (never mind the NBA.com’s list) Kobe has the early track.

It's for fun guys!
I love seeing this as early as week one because you get to see more random names on there. (Ariza orly?)
Poster for next year? I'm thinking My Little Pony.
