NBA MVP Rankings - 9 Feb

James Harden's scoring streak has gained a lot of attention, as has the Golden State Warriors' win streak, but the overall leader in the MVP rankings is still the Greek Freak, who is having his best season in leading the Bucks to the best record in the league so far. Two former MVP's have climbed back into the top 10, while LeBron dropped out after his long layoff, though he could easily climb back in, especially if he gets the Lakers into a strong playoff position. Here are my full current MVP rankings, along with the player's stats from their best game of 2019 so far, and previous rank in parentheses:
