The Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard and the New Orleans Hornets’ Chris Paul today were named Eastern Conference and Western Conference Players of the Month, respectively, for games played in December.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paul averaged 24.5 points, 10.4 assists and a league-high 3.0 steals in guiding the Hornets to a Southwest Division-best 9-5 mark. Paul’s month included two 40-plus-point performances and three games with at least 15 assists. With season averages of 21.5 points, 10.2 assists and 3.0 steals, Paul is attempting to become the first player to average at least 20.0 points, 10.0 assists and 3.0 steals for a season.
Wow. Keep up the good work CP! He's been playing really well. A quote in a recent article made me wonder if he'd get it.
