Entering the final couple of weeks of the regular season, the MVP race is down to 4 players, and it is the tightest race I have seen in a decade. 3 of the contenders have their teams among the top 3 in their conference, and the other has pulled his team out of the play-in and into the playoffs. Here are my current rankings for MVP and ROY, along with some updates to the all-time player rankings, including a new player joining the all-time top 100:
