Candidates for the MVP Title

             Wade and James  plays are adding wrinkles to mvp discussion. Because of them more players are been chosen for the mvp candidacy. In there points and performance, they should be a suitable in the mvp title(most valuable player). There are other candidates and many of them are also suitable for the mvp title. Like Dwight Howard, Amar'e Stoudamire, Derrick Rose, Dirk Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo and Kevin Durant.

Here are the latest top 10 candidates:

1. Amar'e Stoudemire, Knicks (20-14)

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
34	37.6	26.4	9.0	2.5	1.0	2.3	.521	.545	.772

Last Week's Rank - 3
Getting up in the Phoenix Suns' grill Friday night is a reminder of how much things have turned for Stoudemire's former and current teams. It's not quite LeBron-like in the subtraction/addition but it's notable: The Suns were 20-12 after 32 games last season, six games better than now.

2. Derrick Rose, Bulls (23-11)

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
33	37.7	23.8	4.5	8.3	1.1	0.6	.455	.394	.777

Last Week's Rank - 1
Rose's "aloneness" as a Bulls star gets accentuated when Carlos Boozer gets himself benched for the last 14 minutes of games, as he did via shoddy defense at New Jersey. Averaged 21.8 points and 6.8 assists for the week. But just one assist at the Nets?

3. LeBron James, Heat (28-9)

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
37	37.4	24.8	6.8	7.3	1.4	0.5	.481	.358	.773

Last Week's Rank - 5
James got outscored by Wade, 90-88, for the week but the former Cavs star had the edge in rebounds (22-20) and assists (24-14). This season, James has led the Heat in rebounding seven times to Wade's 12 but in assists 29 times to Wade's eight.

4. Dwyane Wade, Heat (28-9)

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
35	36.0	25.0	6.5	4.2	1.5	1.0	.495	.313	.742

Last Week's Rank - 6
Only four players in the past decade ever averaged, over a calendar month, at least 27 points, six rebounds and four assists, while shooting 54 percent, the way Wade did in December (Dirk Nowitzki in Feb. 2007, Kevin Garnett in Feb. 2003 and Shaquille O'Neal in Jan. 2003).

5. Dirk Nowitzki, Mavericks (26-9)

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
29	35.4	24.1	7.4	2.4	0.7	0.8	.545	.403	.879

Last Week's Rank - 2
Ah, Dirk's continued absence with a sprained right knee is providing an old reliable measure of Most Valuableness: Dallas was 24-5 before he got hurt, 2-4 since then (though Caron Butler's blown right knee syncs up with two of those defeats).

6. Dwight Howard, Magic (23-12)

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
33	35.8	21.4	13.2	1.2	1.2	2.4	.566	.000	.573

Last Week's Rank - 4
With the Magic one game off its pace last season (24-11 through 35 games), Howard might be more in line for his third straight Defensive Player of the Year than his first MVP. The committee was encouraged by his 18 of 27 free throws this week.

7. Kobe Bryant, Lakers (25-11)

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
36	32.9	25.1	5.0	4.5	1.3	0.1	.446	.314	.825

Last Week's Rank - 9
A 3-1 stretch for the Lakers has calmed things down a bit, and Bryant seemed back on track when he squeezed off fewer than 20 shots in the victories over Detroit and at Phoenix. He averaged 20.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 6.5 assists in those two.

8. Deron Williams, Jazz (24-12)

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
36	37.8	22.1	3.8	9.3	1.1	0.2	.466	.365	.850

Last Week's Rank - 8
Utah is 14-2 when Williams orchestrates the offense for at least 10 assists. He has done that, while scoring at least 20 points, in 13 games. He's closing in on Ricky Green on the Jazz's all-time assists chart but he's still 11,983 - more than Jason Kidd's career total - behind John Stockton at No. 1.

9. Kevin Durant, Thunder (24-13)

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
33	39.1	27.9	6.2	3.0	1.2	1.0	.463	.327	.879

Last Week's Rank - 7
There are those Thunder faithful who contend that Russell Westbrook has been more valuable than Durant this season. There are people who think Robin is cooler than Batman, too. Durant wasn't hitting his 3-balls (3-of-12) but Westbrook shot a combined 8-of-27 against San Antonio and Dallas.

10. Rajon Rondo, Celtics (27-7)

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
23	38.3	10.7	4.6	14.0	2.4	0.2	.528	.294	.410

Last Week's Rank - NR
Rondo missed 2 1/2 weeks but returned from his left ankle sprain determined to make up for lost time. The Celtics went 3-0 and after the point guard averaged five points and 12 assists in his first two games, he went for 12 points, 10 boards and 22 assists against the Spurs.

Dropping out: Kevin Garnett (No. 10 last week)

Honorable mention: Westbrook; Carmelo Anthony, Denver; Blake Griffin, L.A. Clippers; Al Horford, Atlanta; Kevin Love, Minnesota; Chris Paul, New Orleans.
