Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James was named today as the NBA's Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played Monday, November 16th through Sunday, November 22nd.
In four games during the week, James averaged an NBA-best 34.3 points on .583 shooting, 5.8 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 1.0 steal in 37.5 minutes per game. He was the only Eastern Conference player to score 30 or more points in each of his games last week and led the Cavs to a 3-1 record during their four games in five nights stretch. James wins the award for the first time this season and the 21st time in his career.
James posted a double-double with 31 points and 12 assists in a win over the Golden State Warriors on November 17th at Quicken Loans Arena. He scored 15 of his game-high 34 points in the third quarter at Washington on November 18th. In the second road game of the week, he finished with a season-high 40 points, including 22 points on 8-11 (.727) from the field in the first half, nine rebounds and seven assists on November 20th in a 105-95 win over the Pacers. In their final home game of the week versus Philadelphia, he tallied a game-high 32 points, seven rebounds and nine assists in a 97-91 victory.
The Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant was named the Western Conference Player of the Week. Other nominees for the Eastern Conference Player of the Week were Charlotte's Stephen Jackson, New York's Al Harrington and Orlando's Vince Carter.

We attended the Pacers game....
and Lebron was just spectacular! He dominated the Pacers and, at times, made it look so easy. Meanwhile, Granger and company looked somewhat befuddled. They simply had no answer for the “Chosen One”.
So I told her," I'll be nicer if you try to be smarter!'..That was a mistake.

I’m still hoping I can get to watch a LeBron game for Cleveland. That is my Christmas wish.

Quick edit
You want the title to read “named” player of the week.
That is all.

They say
the stats don’t lie, but it was the timing of those botched 3 pointers that cost the team the W. Your post in that thread indirectly reinforced my sentiments.
“this game was just one more example of totally undisciplined basketball…they got a big lead by a good mix of taking advantage of Washington misses and being successful in the transition; and by doing the inside out game with Hickson and Jackson….once they got the 17 point lead, they started jacking up bombs with 10+seconds on the shot clock and not getting back on defense against Washington’s transition game
This is starting to become a pattern and needs to stop or they will continue to lose games they should win…Granted Washington took advantage of the Cavs miscues but that’s All the Wizards had to do….. was take what the Cavs gave them”

Perhaps I should have
named names…I was referring mostly to Mo and AP in that statement who were a COMBINED 4-20 including 2-8 from 3 pt land…as long as LeBron is nearly 60% from the floor and pushing 40% on 3s, I’m not going to complain too loudly, UNLESS he starts jacking up 3 pt bricks with less than a 10 point lead and half the shot clock to use to work a play….I believe part of that rant was about the Cavs not limiting the opponents’ offensive opportunities by using more of the shot clock when the Cavs are on offense….I have no problem with someone with a hot hand putting up threes to get the team back in a game
