This is Cleveland’s time: While We’re Waiting
November 1, 2016Buckeyes outlast Northwestern: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
November 1, 2016While most of Cleveland was busy watching their Indians in the World Series, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been taking care of business so far, owning a perfect 3-0 record a week into the season. One of the main reasons why the wine and gold have played so well to start the season is due in part to the best basketball player in the world in LeBron James.
Because of his efforts, not only have the Cavs quietly cruised through the first week, No. 23 notched yet another Eastern Conference Player of the Week, the NBA announced on Monday.
During the opening week of the season, the Cavs had the most wins in the conference (three); the first time since the 2000-01 season that Cleveland has started the season with a perfect 3-0 record. During those three games, James averaged 21 points (10th in league), 10 assists (third), and 8.3 rebounds (14th) per game while shooting 50 percent from the field and just 26.7 percent from beyond the arc in 36.7 minutes per game.
In the home opener, when the Cavs demolished the New York Knicks, James notched a triple-double (19 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists), the only player to do so in the East.
This is the 54th time James has notched player of the week honors, which is far and away the best in NBA history. The second-most? Former Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, who had just 33 before deciding to retire at the end of the 2015-16 season.
James’ honors is the the 54th time in team history that a Cavalier has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week and 35th time No. 23 has received the award while donning the wine and gold. Remarkably, the King has now scored in double-digits in 720 consecutive games (and going), which is the third-longest in league history. It really is crazy to think at just how good
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook was named the Western Conference Player of the Week after averaging 38.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 11.7 assists per game.
