Today the NBA officially announced the 8th week of the best player of the week, the Eastern Sabonis Jr. was elected, the Western James after 20 months, the 65th time in his career was elected the best of the week, the NBA has the most history, And Bryant has 33 times the best of the week, ranking second. James' record may not be broken for many years to come!
However, many people have raised objections to James's best of the week, arguing that Jokic should be elected. Jokic has been a single-player team this season, averaging a triple-double of 28 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists per game last week, and the Nuggets have a 2-2 record.
In response, the famous data media StatMuse tweeted: "Jokic averaged 28 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal last week, shooting 55% from the field, but he did not win the best honor of the week, which may sound crazy, but when you see the data that James played last week, you don't think so." James averaged 28 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals per game last week, shooting 61%, 42% and 87% of the three shooting rates, respectively. ”
Jokic's stats, while looking more gorgeous, give it a feeling of being alone, and the Nuggets' record of 2 wins and 2 losses last week is still in the depths of the water, and is currently only ranked 8th in the West.
The Lakers finished 3-1 under James last week, rising to sixth place in the West. James averaged 28.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game last week, shooting 60.8 percent from the field, and in his 146 minutes, the Lakers beat their opponents by 53 points.
You should know that in last week's official strength list, the Lakers have fallen to the 20th place in the league, and the outside world's doubts about the Lakers have reached the peak. However, with James turning on the full-strength Zhan mode, in the latest week's strength list, the Lakers have risen to 15th place. James spent a week to raise the Lakers' ranking by 5 places, and the team seems to be slowly on the right track and regain confidence, which is enough to show the value of James in the Lakers, and this old man who will turn 37 years old in half a month has not expired.
So, James was named the best of the week! And the election of the best of the week seems to make James feel good, he pushed today: "Stop, wait a minute, everyone thinks I'm done playing?" #Kids from Akron #James Family #球馆里的男人"
Hopefully, James can continue to be in form and lead the Lakers back to where they should be.
