Editor's note: Another week has come and gone, and there's a lot we all probably missed. But we're looking out for you, kid. Here are the most popular stories from this past week:

1. The most talked-about home in Highland Park is on the market. Embattled real estate reporter Candy Evans won the top spot this week with her scoop on the modern Mockingbird Lane mansion going up for sale.

2. This one-bedroom house has a $5 million price tag and a bridge running through it. Evans hit another bulls eye with her story on a unique listing at 6121 St. Andrews Dr. in Highland Park.

3. Culture Poll: What was the best gift to the city in 2012? There are two days left in a poll that pits Klyde Warren Park, the Perot Museum and Chihuly Nights up against each other. Make your voice heard and vote.

4. Shinsei alumni Steve and Brandy Spence buy the Corner Bar and prep for an overhaul. Senior editor Teresa Gubbins broke the news that the Spences bought Corner Bar on December 7 and will begin some serious upgrades, including opening a restaurant within the space.

5. Where to shop in Dallas right now: 10 must-hit stores in December. What better way to secure that perfect gift under the tree than to shop the racks at some of the city's latest and greatest shops? Number One/Le Jus, Nicole Kwan and Soap Hope Pop-up all made the cut.

Dallas Mavericks' Cooper Flagg wins NBA Rookie of the Year

Dallas Mavericks' Cooper Flagg edged former Duke teammate Kon Knueppel of Charlotte to win the NBA Rookie of the Year award Monday night.

Flagg was the first rookie since Michael Jordan in 1984-85 to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists and steals. That and other accolades for a teenager were enough to overcome a difficult season for the Mavericks, while Knueppel helped the Hornets qualify for the play-in tournament.

Flagg and Knueppel were first and second in rookie scoring, the first former college teammates to do that since UConn stars Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon in 2004-05. Philadelphia's VJ Edgecombe was the other finalist.

The rookie award is the sixth to be announced by the NBA since the end of the regular season. The others:

— San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama was the unanimous Defensive Player of the Year.

— Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got 96 of a possible 100 first-place votes to win the Clutch Player of the Year award.

— San Antonio’s Keldon Johnson won Sixth Man of the Year.

— Boston’s Derrick White won the Sportsmanship Award. That award, unlike most others, is selected solely by active players.

— Atlanta’s Nickeil Alexander-Walker won Most Improved Player.

Other award announcements yet to be scheduled include MVP (either Gilgeous-Alexander, Wembanyama or Denver’s Nikola Jokic) and Coach of the Year (either Detroit’s J.B. Bickerstaff, San Antonio’s Mitch Johnson or Boston’s Joe Mazzulla).

The NBA will announce the Executive of the Year, the Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year and the Hustle Award winner later this week.
