McGrady is a Top 5 MVP candidate!

How many other players are more qualified this year?  TM is in the top five candidates now, along with probably LBJ, KB, CP, and KG.

Agree or disagree?

I'm biased, so I have KG #1 on my list. Chris Paul second. LeBron third. Kobe fourth.

I'm not on the bandwagon just yet, but there seems to be a ton of people that would put Brandon Roy in MVP contention. Maybe not so much now, but definitely when the Blazers were streaking earlier in the season. And you can't forget about Deron Williams, despite having Carlos Boozer as a teammate... he's damn good as well. So I'd put Williams in the mix.

But now with Yao out for the season, if the Rockets keep winning like they are, I'm sure T-Mac's MVP stock will continue to rise. Top 5??? Quite possibly so.

But to be honest, LeBron should win MVP honors over everyone. It's really not even close. Take away Garnett, the Celtics went 7-2 without him. They don't need him to be a good team.

Cleveland would be nothing without LeBron. There is just no other player right now that means as much to the success of their team as LeBron. Not even Kobe. (Odom, Gasol... you get the point.) But LeBron James is the Cleveland Cavaliers, they'd be nothing without him. That's the definition of MVP to me.

Not only is he a top 5 but if the Rockets keep winning he should be MVP. My List...

1)Paul

2)McGrady

3)Kobe

4)KG

5)LeBron

I think he should be considere IF he leads his team to the playoffs and wins at least the first series.  I really like the way they are playing as a unit.  They are moving the ball around perfectly and spreading the floor that opens up the lane for penetration.  Also, Rafer Alston is on fire right now.  If he keeps it up, I think they will definitely make the playoffs.  It's funny how Phoenix and Dallas made those trades and they are losing ground in the western coference.  But, my Houston Rockets are moving on up the ranks in the western conference.  They also have some opponents coming up except New Orleans which I believe they can defeat.  We will see how good they are when they play LA Lakers coming up.

This is definately an amazing streak. If T-Mac can get the Rockets into the top 4 in the west I say he will have passed Chris Paul for consideration. Problem is KG has kept Boston in the top spot all season long. Chris Paul held it for a bit, but they have slipped a little since then.

When Dirk won last season the saying was 'bast player on the best team' - if that still holds true then it has to be KG.

I understand the media wants LeBron or Kobe because of their marketability, but frankly neither has really done any more for their teams than they have before. But if the Lakers nab the top spot in the league though then I think it goes to Kobe. Until then it's KG. 

1. Chris Paul

2. Dwight Howard- averaging 23 and 15 and has the Magic in the playoffs

3. Kobe Bryant

4. LeBron James
