Since when? Man the quality of editing on nba.com has gone downhill lately. The Kings are still 4 1/2 back of the Suns in the Pacific.

 

[iheartBrad]

[iheartBrad]

Webb and Brad Miller are playing phenomenal. Congrats to both of them. This whole thing def. shows one thing to all the haters that love to rag on Webber - everyone in the NBA from the coaches to the players admire Webber's effort this season. Its about time the Kings fans did.

Way to go!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Awesome

Sentimentality aside: from a practical standpoint I like this because of its potential effect on Webb. December was kind of a ragged month for him. But he really brought it in January. And he was rewarded for it. And that's good stuff, because hopefully it helps him realize that if he keeps on leading, boarding, hitting clutch shots etc., he keeps getting recognition. Positive reinforcement and all that.

alright chris! brad and chris both receiving their due in the same week! gotta love them kings. i honestly believe that we got the best 4-5 combo in the nba.

That's a good point. He can be pretty sensitive at times. But the fact that CWebb won this honor and Brad was named Player of the Week has to be encouraging to all the Kings' men. They're definitely on the right track.

Big time congrats for Webb. From massive knee surgury to player of the month honors...That is wonderful- good story.
