Little surprise with the announcement of the traditional Monday “Players of the Week” by the NBA. While we thought that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander would quite easily win the Western Conference, with his perfect record and his demonstrations, against the Wolves, the Knicks or the Celtics, Nikola Jokic was nevertheless preferred to him.
However, this is not the scandal of the century, especially since the Serbian produced colossal figures during the week, with 36.5 points, 16.5 rebounds and 11.3 rebounds on average, for three victories and one defeat.
In the East, it is Jayson Tatum who was chosen, with 25.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists on average over the period, also with a record of three wins for one defeat over the period with the Celtics.
This is the 16th time that Nikola Jokic has won this honorary title, while it is the 12th time for Jayson Tatum.
