Will Barton is averaging 15.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game this season. He just scored 25 points last night against the Lakers and that was after pouring in a career high 32 last Sunday when the Nuggets hosted New Orleans. He’s also picking up steam as a Sixth Man of the Year candidate and becoming a fan favorite in Denver in the process.

After a first quarter last night where Barton scored 18 of Denver’s 34 points, “The People’s Champ” nearly put an exclamation point on top of that total with this three. Barton then went over and kissed his son who was sitting courtside. (Thanks to Mark French on Twitter for pointing this out)

Will Barton missed a three at the end of the first quarter but still had time to kiss a baby sitting courtside https://t.co/d793jSRikH
