It's been a good week for the Bucks Brandon Jennings.
He graced the cover of Slam magazine and today his Under Armour shoe is featured in the online version of the magazine's regular "Kick of the Day" feature.
In addition, Jennings was named Eastern Conference Rookie of the month for December.
The 10th overall selection in the 2009 NBA Draft recorded four 20-plus point games in his second full month in the NBA and led the Bucks in scoring five times and in assists 12 times during the month. Jennings finished eight games in December with seven or more assists.
On December 12, Jennings recorded his first career double-double with 18 points and a career-high 11 assists in a double-overtime win over Portland. Jennings also set career-marks in a win over Toronto on December 9 when he blocked two shots and on December 19 when he matched his career-best three offensive rebounds against Sacramento.
Jennings previously received Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month honors for games played in October/November and was also recognized as the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played from November 9 through November 15, a week that included a Bucks rookie record 55-points by Jennings in a win over Golden State.
