<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Yao Ming was named the Western Conference Player of the Week for games played Monday, March 1 through Sunday, March 7. Lamar Odom of the Miami heat earned similar honors for the Eastern Conference. Yao led the Rockets to a 2-1 record during the week, recording wins over Minnesota and Dallas. Yao, leading the Rockets in points and rebounds in all three contests, led the Western Conference with 29.7 points per game for the week and reached 25 points in three consecutive games for the first time in his career. </div> Link I think that this is a deserving honor for Yao. His play has really helped us the past week, hopefully he can continue this streak and make our season one to remember.
This was not a suprise considering how well he has been playing of late. Lets just hope he can put up these type of numbers in the playoffs.
