Weekly Awards

Week of 2/25

Mvp: Mahid
Played a great all around game, rebounded, blocked shots, ran the break, passed the ball, and hit shots from beyond the arch and in the post. Most importantly though was his positive attitude, he never put his head down after a play, he never showed anger or resentment. Was a big reason why his team won the series against naumans team.

Defensive Player of the Week: Azeem
Hands down had the most impact on the defensive end. The biggest indication of his defensive ability, the very last game we played in which my team blew his team out of the water. You may be thinking 'wait, how does your team blowing his team out provide evidence of him being the best defensive player this friday?' and the answer is simple. It was in that last game when Azeem started to get tired, and it was because of that very reason that i began to push the ball down the floor, cuz i wanted to do run something before azeem got a chance to disrupt my teams offense. Simply put, without azeems defense, naumans team never wins a game.

Most Improved Player for the Week: Atiq B.
Before the 5 on 5 games we played a few 3 on 3, and it was then when i saw parts of Atiq's game that i hadnt noticed him having in prior weeks. During the 5 on 5 games he showed great hustle and high b-ball iq on both ends of the floor, especially defensively. To be honest i initially gave him the defensive player of the week award mainly because his help defensive was incredible (and he had a great iso moment against Mo which caused Mo to turn it over) however I felt Azeems Impact on the defensive end was more profound. Still Atiq B played a great all around game and showed tons of improvement. He is this weeks Most Improved Player
