GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- LeBron James may have sewn up the MVP award with his play over the last five games, but Carmelo Anthony isn't quite ready to concede it just yet.

"It's early," Anthony said after practice Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors at Madison Square Garden.

"It's All-Star break right now. I mean, he's definitely playing like a Most Valuable Player so we'll see what happens when it comes to that."
