Throw the rankings away, throw out the stats. The guy used to rely solely on his athleticism and hustle to grab the boards, but now not only is he boxing guys out, but he's boxing out the Tim Duncan ALL GAME. In fact, he's starting to make Ben Wallace look like an amateur. I don't care about his hand injury, he still deserves MVP consideration. The guy has come A LONG way, and Dolan and Layden made a huge mistake just throwing him away like they did.

Here's one prediction: If Camby stays healthy and Melo remains hot, the Nuggets are going to the Western Conference finals.
