He's averaging 25.3 PPG, 6.4 APG, 3.7 RPG in 36 MPG. He has scored over 30 points 6 times in 13 games, and one of those times he scored nearly 50. He's shooting 49% from the field and 80% from the free throw line. He's among the league leaders (if the not the league leader) in free throw attempts and free throws made per game. He has led his team to incredible wins over teams like the Jazz, Pistons, Suns and Hawks, to an unbelievable 6-3 record on the road and to an overall 9-7 record which NOBODY expected, worth 2ND PLACE in the Atlantic, over the Raptors, 76ers and the rejuvenated New York Knicks, and 6TH PLACE in the Eastern Conference. Other notable contenders for November Eastern Conference Player of the Month (no order): Dwight Howard Chris Bosh Vince Carter LeBron James Joe Johnson Dwyane Wade Doesn't he deserve the honor just as much or more than the players listed above?
One reason: Lebron James. The three stand out players in the league so far this season is Lebron James, Chris Bosh and Devin Harris. Lebron has just been so dominant and his Cavs are 14-3 which is the 3rd best record in the league behind the Lakers and Celtics. So that automatically puts Lebron at the top and clearly the early leader for MVP honors. Chris Bosh has also been sensational however his Raptors are 8-8, so that means I'll put Devin Harris 2nd in the ECF POM.

To tell you the truth it'll probably be LeBron, his team is doing better than ours and he's the King! in the words of the commissioner of the NBA :S Cocky son of a.... I used to like him, but after all the 2010 FA talks I've started to hate the guy..
