1. Anthony, up from No. 4

2. James, who has been No. 1 three times

3. Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant

4. Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant, who has been No. 1 six times

5. Chicago's Derrick Rose, who has not played this season

6. Brooklyn's Deron Williams

7. Miami's Dwyane Wade

8. Boston's Rajon Rondo

9. Clippers' Chris Paul

10. Clippers' Blake Griffin

The Melo man.

I would attribute Melos jump to not only his Olympic play but the stellar start that he aided the Knicks in. Really didn't expect to see D. Will at #6. Must be because of the move to Brooklyn.

In before 10 pages of Melo/Knicks hate.

Make it 20

I would hope Carmelo would have the best selling NBA jersey in the NBA store in Midtown Manhattan.

Carmelo is a man on fire right now fellas. If I were ranking players right now (not including current injuries) I would have Lebron, Durant, Parker, Carmelo.

But with Carmelo I think people outside the Big Apple will be skeptical until he makes it happen in the playoffs.

NYK market is a hell of a thing.

Wouldn't be surprised if the MVP voting leaders ended up like the top 4 shown here.

New King on the Block!

[KyrieTheFuture]

Congrats to Melo, I'm honestly surprised

[alwaysunny]

Wade and Kobe are even more impressive. How do you still rank top when you've been in the same team for near/over a decade? That's crazy.

D-Will sort of surprised me, but I guess the whole Brooklyn thing was great marketing.
