    Western Conference Player of the Week seems too small for what Dame has done in the last six games. Hottest Basketball Player in the History of the Galaxy seems more fitting.

    When do they usually announce POTM? He should probably have that too.

    Look at the difference in the stats between Lillard and Brown (the East POtW).



    And I love the picture they chose for Dame. Nasty!

    Liked Jaylen Brown since his days in college. Nice to see him doing well. 'Well' is relevant compared to the molten lava coming out of Dame's right arm.
