Brandon Jennings
43.5 ppg/ 7 apg/ 4.5 rpg
So going overseas for that one year wasn’t so bad after all. The Bucks have only played 2 games this week beating the Denver Nuggets and the Golden St. Warriors. They are on a four game winning straek and lead the Central Division. Jennings went for 32 against a strong Denver team and lit-up the Golden St. anemic defense for 55 points. The 55 points was the most ever for a Milwaukee Bucks rookie breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s then Lew Alcindor rookie franchise record of 51 points(The Bucks record for scoring is 57 held by Michael Redd). If you break ANY Jabbar record you are automatically the Player of the Week. Congratulations Brandon Jennings the Rookie of the Year is within your reach early in the season.

This past week for Kobe must have felt like the old days. No Pau Gasol, no Andrew Bynum, just Kobe and and friends. He averaged 26.4 shot attempts a game, and they were all needed. Ron Artest is slowly gelling with the team, and Lamar Odom has his perennial ups and downs. With defeats of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets in overtime on back-to-back nights Kobe scored 31, and 41. He has put up 41 points three times this week, leads the league in scoring and is second in steals. Congratulations Kobe, on being the Truth Sports Player of the Week (11/01-11/08)
37.7 ppg-/7.0 rpg/ 4.3 apg-/1.3 spg
More important then his scoring onslaught at the beginning of the season, 113 points in three games, is that the Denver Nuggets are undeafted. Congrats to Carmelo Anthony!
