Dirtlocker points for: Mike Bibby, Josh Smith, Al Horford

Potentially large. That's a pretty damn decent team full of athletic young players he's been dropped into. Bibby as leader should not be underestimated: "Bibby sat courtside until getting the go-ahead to join his new teammates. The minute he got...

Sorry Kobe haters, number 24 is the league's most valuable player this year. Also published at... MVP: Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers It's amazing that Kobe Bryant has been in the NBA for ten years but has failed to garner one MVP trophy. While this may not be Kobe's best season in terms of

Dirtlocker points for: Al Jefferson, Joe Johnson, Al Horford, Joe Torre

Al Horford was the picture of efficiency in the Rookie Challenge, piling up 19 points and seven rebounds in just 21 minutes and 21 seconds of action. He shot a smooth 8-for-10 from the floor and handled his business. Very impressive. And there isn't a person here who doesn't think this kid will spend a few All-Star Weekends in the future in uniform. And Big Al was more than happy to represen...

I think it was at the Woodward Academy open scrimmage for the Atlanta Hawks that I began to realize how good an athlete every player in the NBA actually is. To be that big and move that fast without falling all over yourself is impressive. The more I watch games live the more I am like,

Well, as we near the All-Star break and most teams have played at least half their games, it's time to start looking at who is in the running to take home some hardware. MVP: Chris Paul. Paul is steadily producing at a hall of fame level this year and as a result, he has the Hornets on top of the Western conference. I have no problem saying that he's the best point guard in the league, because...
