MVP Candidates after the first two months of the 2010-2011 NBA Season:
1. Derrick Rose -- Leading the Bulls to the 3rd best record in the East despite not having Boozer so far this season. Rose is averaging the 3rd highest PPG and 9th best APG in the NBA.
2. Dirk Nowitzki -- Dirk's got the Mavs at the top of the Western Conference and his numbers are better this year than the season when he won his first MVP.
3. Deron Williams -- The Jazz are consistently competing in the West because of D-Will. Williams is 3rd in the NBA in APG behind only Rajon Rondo and Chirs Paul.
4. Kobe Bryant -- Kobe is Kobe. He's the best talent in the NBA, it won't be long before his body of work is worthy of another MVP.
5. Dwight Howard -- Howard is leading the Magic to the top of the East again. Howard is 4th in the league in RPG and 5th in BPG.
Others to consider: Rajon Rondo, Kevin Durant, Kevin Love, Chris Paul
