James captured the award for the Eastern Conference with a stellar month that included averages of 26.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 8.5 assists. He became the youngest player, at 20 years and 20 days, to record a triple-double when he posted 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in a 107-101 win over Portland on January 19. Just three days later he added another triple-double against Golden State.

Webber garnered Western Conference honors by averaging 22.5 points and 10.3 rebounds. He registered eight double-doubles for the month, scored at least 20 points in nine games and led the Kings to a 12-4 record for January.


Other nominees for the awards included Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki, who won it for December; San Antonio's Tim Duncan; Minnesota's Kevin Garnett; Detroit's Richard Hamilton; New Jersey's Vince Carter; and Philadelphia's Allen Iverson, among others.
