The last week of the NBA regular season brought a lot of memorable moments. Per usual, the stars brought out their best kicks for one last time this regular season. For some, it was their last hoorah.
PJ went deep into his collection, we saw Kobe’s signature line influence in more ways than one, Westbrook upped his game and so much more.
