You've heard MVP debates dominating the radio waves for months, and you've seen the names Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Stephen Curry especially, splattered and slathered all over the blogosphere like the handiwork of a bad graffiti artist during his "cry for attention" phase.

Few MVP races feature more than 2 viable candidates, but you could make a case for as many as six NBA players right now.
