Looks like 6 for Giannis 4 for Harden Although Harden probably deserved a few more, they like to spread it around. Tougher to get in the West. All time Harden is at 22 for career. 8th most all time. https://en.hispanosnba.com/nba/history/awards-and-honors/player-of-the-week
Hardens scoring ability has got so stupendously great that 44 points is like meh.It has become unreal . The man is a walking NBA 2k stat stuffer.
This shouldn't be a fair measuring stick, though. You have so many people balling out in the WC. Durant, LeBron, Curry, Lillard, KAT, etc. Meanwhile, in the East, Kawhi sits a lot, Kyrie isn't putting up mind-boggling numbers so Embiid is the biggest PotW / PotM competition for Giannis. And Embiid sits out sometimes, too.
While playing 4 games in only 6 days in fact. One game being an OT game on the tail end of a back-to-back. Harden's durability is godlike.
Player of the week aye... Somehow it sounds almost like an insult to a player who's done what he has throughout the season.
