It's been a couple of months since I've posted an update to my MVP rankings, and there have been a lot of changes, aside from the top 2, who have by far the best players in the game and the winners of the past 3 awards. Chris Paul still appears on the list, but it's unlikely that he will win because he is going to miss most of the remainder of the regular season with a thumb injury, so I would say that the MVP is currently a 4-player race. Here are my current rankings, with previous ranking in parentheses:
