Look at that hair!

Look at that hair!

This is a new section of NoYork.com that will rank each player on the Cavs according to their recent performances. If you disagree with any rankings please comment, all reader feedback is appreciated and will be considered for the next installment of power rankings.

1) LeBron - NBA player of the week. To quote The Wire, “The King stay the King.”
2) Mo - Mo’s been stepping up right when we need him. He even took a random act of Kobeness in the back and kept ticking.
3) Big Z - Z hit three straight 3 point shots in overtime against the Kings.
4) Andy - You can’t knock his hustle and it’s at an all time high. Plus, style points for the reverse dunk off LeBron’s between the legs dime.
5) Coby Karl - No player in the NBA looks more out of place when a camera pans to the bench. This alone is worth a spot in the top 5 of the power rankings.
6) Shaq - If I’m not mistaken his first five buckets against the Lakers were power dunks. He also stone-walled Kobe a couple times and didn’t get called for fouls, nice!
7) Delonte West - Delonte’s legs are back, he’s dunking off a couple steps and he’s playing at a high level. The “I love this game” against the Suns was a high point in the road trip for me.
8) Jamario Moon - This guy has springs in his legs and he showed it on this road trip. He bounced back after drawing flagrant fouls from half the league and he’s ready to fly now. (And yes, we realize that our 8 is a smiley face. Yes it was originally a mistake, but we’re keeping it. So here’s to you Mr. Smiley Face Eighth Place)
9) The Real Tony Parker - Solid as always, nothing too spectacular, ninth on the power rankings.
10) Boobie - He’s not seeing a lot of time lately, but he’s still a dead eye shooter when we need it.
11) JJ - JJ seems to have come down from his early season high. He’s back to letting passes and rebounds squirt through his fingers on a consistent basis. Come on JJ we’re going to need you as the season progresses.
12) Danny Green - A constant force off the court, dancing whenever he has the chance. You gotta love that.
13) Leon Powe - Rumor has it that Leon Powe is dunking during work outs lately. That’s enough for 13 on the power rankings.
14) D-Block - He’s pushing our bigs in practice and that’s important.
15) Jawad Williams - He’s the opposite of Coby Karl, you never know where this guy is during the games. He needs to maximize his camera time. High five some teammates and get yourself on TV Jawad!
