1. Kevin Garnett, Boston | Team Record: 22-3

Last Week's Rank - 1
The Boston Celtics are tying their hottest start in franchise history with 22-3. They also are the best team in the NBA right now. But, the all of Boston's wins have come against Eastern Conference teams. We will have to wait and see what happens when they play the Western Contenders.

2. Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers | Team Record: 18-10

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
27.2	6.3	4.9	2.0	0.6	.450	.852

Last Week's Rank - 3 The Los Angeles Lakers are once again off to a hot start this season after 3 wins in a row including a great Christmas victory over the Phoenix Suns. I have a strong feeling that Kobe will finally become the leauge's most valuable player.

3. Dwight Howard, Orlando Magic | Team Record: 18-11

Last Week's Rank - 2
This young man is just playing like a monster. Whatever his teammates throw around the rim he goes and gets it. But, one thing that he has to improve on is his FT%.

4. Steve Nash, Phoenix | Team Record: 19-9

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
17.5	3.7	12.4	0.7	0.1	.512	.925

Last Week's Rank - 4
Wow, this guy is impressive. He just keeps getting better and better as he grows older. He justs gets everyone into the game and helps them get better every single second he's on the court. One thing he needs to improve on is becoming an offensive threat.

5. Allen Iverson, Denver Nuggets | Team Record: 16-11

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
26.4	3.0	7.3	2.4	0.2	.457	.831

Last Week's Rank - 5
This guys is still playing with passion. Right now, he is Denver's No.1 option. He can score anytime but he knows when to get his teammates into the game.

6. Lebron James, Cleveland Cavaliers | Team Record: 13-16

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
29.3	7.2	7.7	1.8	1.2	.481	.718

Last Week's Rank - 8
This guy is the total package. He goes out every game and scores, get's assists, and rebounds the ball. But, he needs to play like a leader and take over games like he did last year against Detroit.

7. Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets | Team Record: 17-10

PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	FT%
20.9	3.8	10.0	2.8	0.0	.480	.913

Last Week's Rank - 5
Paul is the future of the point guard position. He is also a great scorer and he leads the league in steals per game. The only thing he needs to improve on is his offensive game and he is a total package.

8. Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks | Team Record: 19-9

He is starting to play good. He had three straight 30 point performances. I want to see him take over the game in the fourth game in the clutch.

9. Carlos Boozer, Utah Jazz | Team Record: 15-14

Carlos Boozer is a all-around team player. He loves to get his young teammates into the game. He has improved big over the last few weeks.

He has t2o triple-doubles already this season and he is playing like an all star. Don't be surprised to see him in the All-Star game again in February.
