Chris Paul vs. John Wall, Will Kobe Bryant Pass Michael Jordan? - There's no better way to end an incredible work week of NBA action than with a great Friday night. John Wall and the Washington Wizards host Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers in a match-up of point guard supremacy. Each team sports a nearly-identical record with the Clippers at 16-5 and the Wizards at 15-6. The night could also see Kobe Bryant surpass Michael Jordan as third on the NBA's all-time scoring list when the Los Angeles Lakers visit the San Antonio Spurs. Bryant needs 31 points to pass Jordan. Here, BET.com takes a look back on the thrilling week that was in the hoops world.(Photos from Left: Rob Carr/Getty Images, Streeter Lecka/Getty Images, Harry How/Getty Images)

Westbrook Does It All - Yeah, the Oklahoma City Thunder have the reigning NBA MVP in Kevin Durant, but don't forget about that other guy. Russell Westbrook can flat out do it, which was evident in the 26 points, eight assists and seven rebounds he posted against the LeBron James-less Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night. Perhaps King James picked a good time to rest his sore left knee.(Photo: OK City Thunder via Instagram)
