Let’s break down the 20 best players in the league right now…
1. LEBRON JAMES is having another MVP season. He’s shooting better, passing better and playing better defense. Lebron, is currently 2nd in the league in scoring and should be crowned MVP again at the end of this season.

2. KOBE BRYANT he’s 4th in the league in scoring with a fractured finger, hitting game winners every week and still should be back in the NBA Finals in April.

3. DWYANE WADEHas been carrying the Heat on his back since their championship run back in 2006. Currently the 3rd leading scorer in the league and should take Miami back to the playoffs.

4. CARMELO ANTHONY Currently leads the league in scoring at 29.7 points a game but his shot selection needs improvement.

5. DWIGHT HOWARDOne of the league’s best rebounders and shot blockers. Needs to work on his offense to be a real superstar.

6. PAUL PIERCEhis numbers are down due to a few nagging injuries, but he is still the Celtics’ best two-way player and their most dependable go-to scorer.

7. STEVE NASH is back to the Run and Gun and looking like he did during his back to back MVP seasons.

8. DERON WILLIAMSone of the youngest, strongest and most skilled point guards in the NBA. Jerry Sloane’s offense doesn’t let him take over the way he’s able to.

9. KEVIN GARNETTHas been slowed by injuries and has turned into more of a jump shooter but is still one of the league’s most dominating big men.

10. BRANDON ROY Is evolving into a legitimate superstar. His numbers would be much better if Portland didn’t have so many injured players.
