New York, NY – The Chicago Bulls' Nate Robinson and the Golden State Warriors' David Lee were named the top players for the week in the Eastern and Western Conference, respectively, for the games played between Jan. 28 and Feb. 3.
Robinson averaged 17.8 points, 6.8 assists and 2.5 steals per game while helping the Bulls to a 3-1 record during the week. He has also scored in double figures in 10 straight games for the Bulls.
