    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">NEW YORK (Ticker) - Guard Steve Nash, the league's reigning Most Valuable Player, on Monday was named the NBA's Western Conference Player of the Week after leading the Phoenix Suns to three straight wins.

    Nash averaged 21.7 points and 9.7 assists to lead the Suns to wins over Toronto, Houston and New Jersey. He recorded a double-double of 15 points and 14 assists in a 100-88 win over Houston on Wednesday before scoring 27 points in a 92-81 win against the Nets two days later.

    Nash leads the league with an average of 10.8 assists per game. His closest competitor, Golden State's Baron Davis, is averaging 8.9 per game.

    Forward Gerald Wallace of the Charlotte Bobcats received Eastern Conference honors after averaging 22.3 points and 9.3 rebounds in three games. Wallace recorded 26 points and established career highs with both 14 rebounds and five blocks in a 100-82 victory over Washington on Saturday. </div>

    Gerald has improved a lot ever since he came to Charlotte. His defense has improved so much, he is definitely a keeper for the Bobcats in the future.

    Gerald is looking more consistent this year. I'm glad he got moved to a team where he could grow as a player.

    BTW, did you see that block against Washington? He just grabbed the ball out of the air! It was crazy!
