Last week: 2 – UP 1

George only just beats LeBron James this week, although it was very close. George was at the top of the rankings in week one and is once again back at the top of the food chain, after slipping down to No. 2 last week. The Pacers went 3-0 since last Sunday and are 13-1 on the season. George put on a show at Madison Square Garden, dropping a season-high 35 points on the New York Knicks and continues to ride the wave.
