James, Billups win weekly honors

Nov 17, 2008 - 10:51 PM NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James on Monday was named the Eastern Conference's Player of the Week.

It was the second straight weekly award for James, who averaged 33.7 points, 8.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds in leading the Cavs to a 3-0 week. James reached the 41-point mark for the third time in 10 games this season in a 99-93 victory over Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Denver Nuggets guard Chauncey Billups, who still is getting acclimated to his new teammates after being acquired in a trade from Detroit, took home the award in the Western Conference.

Billups averaged 21.5 points and 5.8 assists in four games. He scored 26 points while facing James and the Cavs in a 110-99 loss Thursday.
