Last week's East-West Player of the Week's Best has been announced, with Morant and VanVleet being elected separately. Morant led the Grizzlies to a four-0 record last week, averaging 25.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game. VanVleet led the Raptors to a four-0 record last week, averaging 30.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game.
It's worth mentioning that for Morant, this is his second consecutive week of western conference player of the week, and the first player in Grizzlies history to win a career first week's best, consecutive week's best player. Under Morant's leadership, the Grizzlies also made their longest nine-game winning streak of the season, finishing fourth in the West with a record of 28-14 and only half a win away from the third-place Jazz in the West.
Prior to this, Morant had been absent due to injury for more than half a month, and the Grizzlies had twice won 5 consecutive games during Morant's absence, and after Morant's return, the Grizzlies suffered a 3-game losing streak, so Morant also understood a lot of pressure, and even Grizzlies fans let Morant sit down, which gave Morant great motivation to prove himself.
So next, Morant played a very good performance, leading the Grizzlies to continue to win in a row, until after winning against the Lakers, they achieved 9 consecutive wins, which is also the longest winning streak in the league.
While Morant led the Grizzlies to 9 consecutive wins, James also played a very powerful performance, he got 10 times 30+ in the 11 games of the thick brow injury, and he could get 34 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists per game, but unfortunately the Lakers' record was not powerful, only 5 wins and 6 losses, so James was not inferior to Morant, and he did not have the best week.
In addition, the Grizzlies have beaten the Lakers twice during a nine-game winning streak, and in such a situation, James is even less likely to beat Morant to become the best of the week, although his personal performance is better. With James's performance in the past period of time, whether it is the best of the week or the best of the month, it is completely worthy, but it is a pity that the Lakers' record is not strong, so James will not be the best of the week and the best of the month.
For James, the best of the month and the best of the week are not nothing, he is already the player of the month and the best of the week in the history of the NBA, but James played such a good performance, but the Lakers' record is still very average, which is a bit hurtful.
