in the last 2 years, only ONE spur was named "the player of the week"

[pwilliam]

Not duncan, not parker, not ginobili.

[TDMVPDPOY]

BENO UDRIH didnt he win rookie of the month once also?

[Brutalis]

Respect is something that will never come easy to San Antonio.

[Rummpd]

it can be looked at another way, with more talent the Spurs are more balanced.

[Marklar MM]

The Pistons haven't had a player of the week yet this year, I do believe.

[ShoogarBear]

Bruce Bowen, right?

Bruce Bowen, right?

I think so. He and Chris Bosh were named PoW in January 2005.

Wow, Manu was never named player of the week? Not even the week he scored 48 against the Suns?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

It's a conspiracy...

[boutons_]

Spurs rarely get an NBA TV Top10 Play of the Day, unless Spurs game is one of only 2 or 3 games the preceding night (like thursday)
Manu has made Top10 a few times.

And if you think about the Spurs season so far, fantastic plays are not how the Spurs have been playing at all.

Top10 plays are usually some vicious dunk, or circus-y layup, or LeBron/Kobe/'young-athletic"/somebody-named-Josh.

Duncan could've had about 2 this season i think.

Weeks where he would win like the first 3 games, have a good week average, then the fourth game of the week they'd lose and he'd have a stinker of a game.

A conSPIRACY I say...a freakin CON-FCUK-IN spiracy!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont think they do player of the week in the playoffs which is stupid.

I was under the impression that Manu had gotten at least one Player of the week before... weird

Mnmnmn you are right friend, manu was the player of the year during his rokkie season, just one time.

[FreshPrince22]

The Pistons have only had 1 as well. Chauncey was a POTW last year and that's it.

Well it has an easy answer, because both spurs and pistons really play as a TEAM.

It wasn't a playoff series.

I'm very surprised about this. I knew that Bowen won one, wasn't it the week that he outscored Kobe in a head to head matchup?

But for Tim Duncan to not have won one in the last 2 years is just outrageous. Manu not to win one for one of the weeks of his early stretch last season. Same for Tony early this season.

Pretty unbelievable little tidbit.

[circles_eternal]

bowen, right?

[spurschick]

Manu will be getting another Nike Player of the Week this week.
