NBA: Top 10 Early Season MVP Candidates

After one-third of the NBA season in the books, here are 10 players that should be considered — at the time being — for the NBA MVP award 

The NBA MVP award is usually a two — at most — man race when it’s all said and done. And those two players usually happen to be LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

Nearly one-third into the year, here are 10 players that have unofficially thrown their hat in this year’s NBA MVP race.
