Everyone seemed to find their roles. Deron Williams and Chris Paul were lightning off the bench. Chris Bosh was the co-MVP to Wade. In fact, I want to say that this team would give the Dream Team a run for its money. In fact, they could straight out beat the original team.

And the New Orleans Hornets have point guard Chris Paul. The other player I would consider in this class is Dwyane Wade of the Miami (the 2006 version). It's no surprise that the Cavs, Spurs, and Hornets are all still alive in the playoffs.

Chris Paul
Why he’s the MVP: There are so many reasons I can’t even list them all. He is having a better year then both of Nash’s MVP seasons. Numbers wise he may be having the best year ever by a PG. He is averaging 21.3 points, 11.4 assists and 2.7 steals a game. He has made David West into an All-Star. He has his Hornets team, who no one was expecting big things from, in the top spot in the Western Conference. He has become a team leader in only his 3rd year in the league. If you replace him with Andre Miller this team may not be in the playoffs and if they were they would be fighting for the 7 or 8 seed, not the 1. Just watch this man play one night and tell me he isn’t the MVP. Watch how many open shots Peja and West get because of his penetration. Watch how many lay-ups or alley-oop dunks Tyson Chandler gets. Morris Peterson, yes, that guy, starts on this Hornets team that is fighting for the 1 seed and they don’t bring much off the bench.

h the third before he got ejected.
Everybody is talking about how Chris Paul could be the first player in history to average 20 ppg, 10 apg and 3 spg. He’s being considered, rightfully so, for the MVP. When Kobe, ever the perfectionist, realizes all the weapons he has to their fullest potential, would anybody be surprised to see him average 25, 9 and 4? How about 25, 10 and 3? That would put him in air that not even MJ has sniffed.

There has been an influx of young talent coming in over the past few years. The play of Chris Paul, Deron Williams and Tony Parker grab most of the headlines, and the Kidd for Harris swap has also gotten Devin’s name out there. But then there are guys like Mo Williams, Jose Calderon and Rajon Rondo who are on the cusp if not already arrived.

The fans, for the most part, got it right but with one glaring omission. Chris Paul should be a starting guard on the Western Conference team when all-star weekend hits New Orleans on Feb. 17.
