LBJ and Brow were February's finest.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis were named NBA Players of the Month on Thursday, by virtue of their dominance over the league in February.
Davis averaged an incredible 35 points per game during the month, along with 13 rebounds, 2.4 steals, and 2.1 blocks. The forward almost single-handedly led the New Orleans Pelicans to an 8-3 February record, keeping their playoff hopes very much alive despite the season-ending injury to DeMarcus Cousins.
James, meanwhile, averaged a triple-double during a calendar month for the first time in his career. The 33-year-old also ranked second in the East in minutes (37.3) and shot 54.6 percent from the field and 41.9 percent from beyond the arc in 10 games.
