Congratulations Carmelo on West Coast Player of the Week

(FortCollins-CO) The NBA has finally recognized the outstanding play of Carmelo Anthony by awarding the Denver superstar with West Coast Player of the Week for March 13th –19th. During the week Carmelo led the Nuggets to a 3-1 record, (Errr that Memphis game), and sank his fourth game winner of the season against the Pacers. A nice gesture and thanks for the motivation NBA, but Denver still isn’t forgetting that All-Star selection snub…

‘Melo averaged a league best 31.8 points per game and was the second youngest player behind Lebron James to eclipse the 5,000 career point mark. He and Lebron both were drafted in the same class. In the aforementioned week, I think Carmelo’s most effective offensive showing was against the Hornets because not only did he score 28 points, but also he recorded seven assists with only one turnover in the Nuggets victory. Time now to give Bruce Bowen more than he bargained for on Wednesday night. Congratulations Camelo, you know that Denver appreciates watching you and now the whole league is starting to appreciate your style too!
