    LeBron could be the next Oscar Robertson. He already has 20+ points, and very closey to 6 rebounds and assists.

    Nice. Thanks for posting them Deezy. I like them. It's nice to see Keith Bogans made top 10. Let's see if he can make top 5.

    LeBron is the REAL DEAL! No question about it.

    Can't argue with these, much of what I have expected. Nice to see Ford's season improving, as he stands at the #4 spot. And Wade will also be back up there soon.

    LOL, yeah man, where you been? At least around here from what I've seen they've respected his game all along, and you know the media does.

    yeah, the power rankings look pretty accurate. i can't believe this rookie class. i'd say it's the best since 1995 - maybe even better.

    No question the media loves LeBron. Earlier in the season, a good portion of fans didn't. LeBron addiction is pacefully taking over.

    Those stats are quite impressive IMO.

    LeBron has lived up to his hype this far into the season.

    I'm sure that it will be a tight finish for the ROY.

    I'm thinking a Co-Rookie Of The Year Award going to LeBron & Carmelo.
