NBA Inside The Player Of The Week (Oct. 27- Nov. 2)

I am proud to announce that we will have an award every Tuesday and the first one will be given out today (yes, I know today is Wednesday, just go with it). Every week, I will give out the NBA Inside The Player of the Week award to whoever I believe is worthy of the award. Then I will go into depth on their performance that week and why they deserved it. So, without further interruptions, I present, the first ever, NBA Inside The Player Of The Week Award!

Yes, the first award goes to the one and only, Stephen Curry. Now Curry has obtained many award, so this really isn't that amazing of one for him, but he still should be proud. Not really because of the award but because of his amazing performance. Let's take a look at those stats Curry!

This week, Curry has averaged 37 PPG, 6.3 APG, and 5 rebounds. If that isn't enough for you, well, then you must not be very convinced on a lot of things, but I will do my best to show you that Curry is deserving of this award. Not only that, but he is shooting 59.5% from the field, which is really tough to do at the guard position considering that most of his shots are from around the perimeter. He also shot 48.8% on 3-pointers, and 96.4 % from Free Throw. These are what I call, BTKKN, otherwise known as, Better Than Kyle Korver Numbers. Now for all you fantasy freaks, he only averaged 2 turnovers per game while averaging these numbers!

Take a look at the defensive side too. He has averaged 2.5 steals in 4 games. He is also helping lead his team to a jaw-dropping number of a 90.4 defensive rating! He has played great on both ends of the floor. In fact, his offensive rating is even more impressive as it is a whopping 119.8. While we are judging this off of 4 games, it has been a very impressive. This guy scored 53 points in the 3rd game of the season, you just can't say that it isn't impressive.

In conclusion, Curry should obviously earn the award because he has put up amazing numbers and has helped his team to a 4-0 start to the season. If this guy keeps it up, expect him to gather many many more of these awards. Congratulations Stephen Curry on winning the first ever NBA Inside The Player Of The Week Award!
