1. Russell Westbrook Oklahoma City Thunder (30.9 ppg 9.0 rpg 9.4 apg) Best all around player in the NBA. Leads NBA in double-doubles.

2. Stephen Curry Golden State Warriors (26.9 ppg 5.9 apg 1.1 spg) Broke record for most 3 pointers made in a game this week. Has taken a step back for Durant but still an explosive scorer.

3. James Harden Houston Rockets (30.6 ppg 13.0 apg 7.8 rpg) Smooth transition from SG to PG. Leads League in assist.


4. Damian Lillard Portland Trail Blazers (30.6 ppg 4.7 rpg 4.5 apg) Scored 30+ points in 6 of his team's first 10 games.

basketballsocietyonline.com MVP: Russell Westbrook Oklahoma City Thunder This year's MVP race has been the closest it's been in recent memory. With 5 legit candidates, anyone of them is well deserving of the award but my choice is Westbrook. Not only did he break a record I thought would never be broken with 42 triple-doubles, but after losing 3 out of their top 5 scorers, Westbrook still has the Thunder in the playoffs as a 6th seed and lead the NBA in scoring.

I know NBA tickets are not cheap and you expect to see the stars when you buy that ticket but that's the risk you take when you make your purchase. The players and coaches have to put their organization's needs first. None of these players are saying they need rest but it is much appreciated.
