Fantasy NBA Players fo the Week 15

Leading up to the All-Star break, the King claims his throne again... Unfortunately, almost none of his fellow all-stars are coming along the ride. Paul, Roy, Melo, Kobe, KG, Billups are all banged up before the best exhibition game on the planet. Let's just hope they can warm Cowboys Stadium up until Pacquiao beats down Clottey..

This week's Mythical 5:

The Director
Jason Kidd (DAL) - 2.7 3FGM, 13.3 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 11.7 APG, 4.3 SPG [2]

Kidd has been steady the entire week, and perhaps fits this monicker best among all PGs this season as he's been feeding everybody. We know he could still force a triple-double but he's content distributing to Dirk, Terry, Howard, Marion, Dampier, Gooden, Barea and even Beaubois.


The Skywalker
Stephen Jackson (CHA) - 3.0 3FGM, 28.0 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 5.0 APG, 2.5 SPG [2]

S-Jax has been steady since being traded over. Gerlad Wallace will be getting honors in this year's all-star game, but he's the other half of the Bobcats combo that's keeping them in the playoffs.


The Triggerman
LeBron James (CLE) - 2.7 3FGM, 35.0 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 10.3 APG, 2.7 SPG [8]







He's back at it again, and is again the best player in fantasy basketball. There's nothing else to say... The new ad with Big Z takes the cake though!


Captain Lionheart
Andrei Kirilenko (UTA) - 22.0 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 5.5 APG, 3.5 SPG, 1.5 BPG [1]

Five years ago when the Jazz sucked, this would have probably been a regular site. But when Deron, Boozer, and Memo got into town, AK47 finally came back down to earth. Too bad his contract was just huge!


Tower of Power
Chris Bosh (TOR) - 30.3 PPG, 11.7 RPG, 4.0 APG, 1.7 BPG [4]

CB4 was probably the biggest starter snub this year with Garnett taking his rightful spot. We can expect more concern over his destination after the summer as it's clear that everybody with cap room will make Bosh option 3 after LeBron and Wade.

Fantasy NBA Players of the Week 12

The Director
Chris Paul (NOH) - 1.3 3FGM, 18.5 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 13.5 APG, 3.0 SPG [4]

CP3 is back in the Mythical 5 with his usual numbers. Looks like he, David West and Emeka Okafor are finally getting their acts together, and less scoring is needed from him. Us fantasy people hate that... unless we own Okafor.


The Skywalker
Dwyane Wade (MIA) - 27.3 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 7.3 APG, 2.5 SPG, 1.8 BPG [3]

D-Wade was a defensive beast last week. Sure he gambles and puts his team at risk in the real world, but that doesn't mean jack in fantasy basketball. 4.3 Steals/Blocks per game is just way, way up there for any guard.


The Triggerman
Lebron James (CLE) - 35.0 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 7.0 APG, 3.0 SPG, 1.7 BPG [6]


LeBron was once again the best player in fantasy basketball. He's been here for the 6th week and he even produced higher offense and defensive numbers than Wade. It seems that Cleveland is finally taking some of the load of LeBron, keeping defenders honest and letting LeBron go nuts. If only he'd dunk in the Dunk Contest...


Captain Lionheart
Stephen Jackson (CHA) - 3.0 3FGM, 29.3 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 4.7 APG, 3.0 SPG [1]

Here's another one of those "multiple positions saves my ass" types of listings again. I really never knew until recently that S-Jax had PF eligibility. Being in Golden State indeed paid off for some fantasy owners who lucked out on this one.


Tower of Power
Brook Lopez (NJN) - 22.5 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 2.0 APG, 2.5 BPG [2]

He's been the only consistent thing in New Jersey aside from the losses. How those two correlate, I dunno. But, Brook is recently getting outshone by Robin out in Phoenix. Maybe we'll see these 2 get some time to go head-to-head.
