Jordan Heading has played a pivotal role in the Converge's emergence as a potential dark horse.
Heading's efficient role as both a scorer and playmaker has translated into four straight victories and a 6-2 record for the FiberXers in the PBA Commissioner's Cup, with nowhere to go but up.
"Our record is really what I all care about," said Heading as he was chosen as the PBA Press Corps-Pilipinas Live Player of the Week for the period of Dec. 17 to 25.
Heading capped off the stretch with 30 points, eight rebounds and six assists on Christmas Day when Converge frustrated perennial contender Meralco, 110-94, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The rout of the Bolts extended the FiberXers' streak that started by defeating the NLEX Road Warriors, Phoenix Fuel Masters and another heavyweight in Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.

The lefty guard averaged 19.5 points on 51-percent shooting on top of 4.3 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1.5 steals to be adjudged as the latest winner of the weekly honor, the last for the calendar year.
"I'm thankful to the coaching staff for trusting me, to have the responsibility of putting the ball in my hands and I'm taking that responsibility seriously," said Heading.
Heading is not just the sole reason for Converge's great run of form with Alec Stockton key in the comeback victory against Ginebra even as Justine Baltazar, the No. 1 overall pick in the Rookie Draft, is slowly getting his groove as a double-digit rebounder and defensive presence.
