Allen Iverson, who improved on his league-leading
scoring average as he led Philadelphia to three wins in four games, was
named the National Basketball Association's Eastern Conference player of
the week.
Iverson shot 45 percent from the field and scored at least 30 points in
each of the 76ers' games last week, including a 48-point effort in a
118-111 win over Milwaukee on Tuesday.
The emotional leader of the Sixers appears to be benefitting from the
acquisition of forward Chris Webber, averaging 37.3 points and 7.0 assists
per contest. The lightning-quick guard also added 14 steals during the week.
Marcus Camby, who has helped put the Denver Nuggets in playoff
contention, earned Western Conference honors.
He averaged 14.0 points, 15.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 4.33 blocks as
Denver won all three of their games and continued their strong play under
new coach George Karl.
Camby had double-doubles in all three
games, including a 17-point, 22-rebound effort against the Indiana
Pacers on Thursday.
