Dirk Nowitzki were today named the Eastern Conference and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for games played Monday, March 29 through Sunday, April 4. Jefferson led the Nets to a 3-1 week, in games played without starters Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin, who saw limited action in one game. He averaged 22.5 points on .579 shooting, 8.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists, recording a season-high with 14 rebounds versus Washington and a career-high with 12 assists versus Atlanta. Jefferson has scored 20 or more points in eight of the last nine games. Nowitzki led the Mavericks to a perfect 3-0 week, averaging 32.0 points on .571 shooting, 11.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists in games against Cleveland, Sacramento and Phoenix. He recorded a season-high 18 rebounds versus the Cavaliers and scored 34 points in 34 minutes against the Suns.</div> Link
Way to go Jefferson! Finally some recognition. Oh and to add to the stats, he made at least two wicked dunks. That 3-1 record that he helped achieve will help them have the confidence come playoffs time.
Both good choices, Dirk and Jefferson are heating up at exactly the right time. I know as a Dallas fan, I've been waiting to see Dirk like this the whole season.
Dirk so rocks.. His # 1 Nashville TN fans will always be cheering for him. Good luck Dirk! My 2 yr. old daughter thinks you're the GREATEST & that blows my mind.. Thanks for being that #1 guy in her life that she can always count on! Kyla & Jordy Loy dirkysgirl41@yahoo.com
Dirk's size finally is doing him some good again, he's becoming much more consistent. Maybe I was wrong about him being a wrong pick for the All-Star Game, then again, it's only been 3 games. As for Richard Jefferson, he deserves it totally, he's come really far, working hard to improve and develop his game to such a great level. His jumper scares me, anymore improvement and he'll be lucky enough to reach Martin and Kidd levels. Congratulations on a job well done, keep up the good work.
