As the young season chugs along, all is becoming normal in the top-10 of The Basketball Jesus Rankings, but there are still a few statistical outliers sneaking their way into the top-15.
LeBron James continues to stake his claim to the top spot and is holding onto a stout 47-point lead. Perennial contenders Dwayne Wade, Dwight Howard, Amare Stoudemire, Carlos Boozer, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Paul and Chris Bosh have claimed a spot in the top ten.

Zach Randolph is still shocking the world by thriving in Mike D’Antoni’s up-tempo offense. He’ll be less and less of a surprise in the rankings with each passing week. Andris Biedrins and Stephen Jackson continue to lead the Warriors and keep their spots in the top-15, but I’d be a liar if I said I thought they could keep it up for even the first half of the season. And as surprised as I was to see Michael Redd in the early-season rankings, I’m equally surprised to see another scorer, Joe Johnson, sneak into the rankings. Unless he averages 30+ points per game, he won’t become a staple here.
I only have one question. Where’s Carmelo Anthony?
