It's shocking how much parity there is in the MVP race so far this season. I'm so used to it being between 3 guys, but any one of the top 5 could earn it if the season ended today, and the rest of the top 10 aren't that far off. Crazy not to see Bron, Kobe or KD on that list! (well Lebron is at 9, but still, that is shocking)

CJ 4th? He is having a decent season but that good?

Wow....Deron above Dirk and Westbrook and Manu in the top ten....weird. Also, I find it hilarious Gasol is on there instead of Kobe.

CJ belongs in the top 5 for sixth man of the year. If he can put up some more big nights and get some consistency going he will be in the running to win it.

I'm not even going to bother arguing about Sloan winning the COY. We all know he deserves it and I'll just leave it at that before I get too pissed off.

Side notes...might as well give the DPOY to Howard...he should win it every year of his career. Might as well give Griffin ROY because we all know he is waaaaaaay better than Wall and no other rookie is even close to touching those two.

Also, couldn't help but notice Deron having the worse assist/turnover ratio out of the top 5 assist leaders in the NBA.....by far.

Which means that he won't win it, unfortunately. Even though the jazz were picked to finish 8th in the west by most, they are going to beat those expectations.
