AWARDS

Chef of the Week

In sports the term “cookin” is reserved for a player who goes on a scoring spree or gets hot during a game and makes big plays on the offensive end.

This week’s “Chef of the Week” award goes to Rawle Alkins for his dominant performance in the adidas Nations championship game.

Alkins scored 18 of his 26 points in the second half to lead Team Rose past Team Wall, 113-93.

Alkins has been consistently dominant all AAU season and that consistency is the mark of a true chef.

Poster of the Week

This week’s Poster of the Week winner is Miles Bridges for completely embarrassing a defender on the one-handed poster he created recently at The 8 Tournament in Las Vegas.

Bridges, who was running with the Mac Irvin Fire (Ill.), caught the ball, seemingly alone in transition, took a slow dribble and saw a defender hustling to the lane to try for the block.

Bad idea.

Bridges seemed to slow up even more to wait for the defender, rose up and destroyed him with a vicious right-handed cock-back dunk.

Pandemonium ensued.

Even Kentucky head coach John Calipari couldn’t contain his excitement.

This you must see.

Oh No They Didn’t!

This award is reserved for the player who turned in a mind-boggling performance or play that left the crowd in a state of shock and amazement.

This week’s “Oh No They Didn’t” winner is We Will (Mass.) guard Jake Wisniewski for draining the three-quarter court buzzer beating game winner at the HG Jam Fest.

With just 2.4 seconds left in regulation and his team trailing by one, Wisniewski darted back to the baseline to receive the inbounds pass; that’s when he took one dribble, two steps and launched the prayer.

Swish.

This you must see to believe.
