Watch this brilliant assist from Dwyane Wade to Derrick Jones

He has become the third player in NBA history with at least 20,000 points, 5,000 assists, 4,000 rebounds, 1,500 steals, 800 blocks and 500 three-point field goals.

The other two players? Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

Well played, Wade. He celebrated this week with a pretty stunning assist…

Derrick Rose (Minnesota Timberwolves)

He sat out his team's win over the LA Lakers due to injury but, while sat court-side, earned his inclusion to this list.

Rose met 18-year-old Hunter Simmons, who is battling leukaemia, through the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the heart-warming footage was shared on social media.

"It was great. It was everything I imagined and more. It was a great feeling. I was super nervous, but I am really grateful for this opportunity and I appreciate everything the Minnesota Timberwolves organisation has done for me, everyone with Make-A-Wish, and it was a dream come true, honestly," Simmons said.

Steph Curry (Golden State Warriors)

How can you not include Curry after he again proved that he is the king of the three-pointer?

Curry proves his long-range dominance

Curry drained 10 three-pointers in the Warriors' victory over the Sacramento Kings in an astonishing game that featured 41 three-pointers in total.

Curry also showed his cheeky side when he was called for a foul - he indicated the number 13, James Harden's jersey number, suggesting his Houston Rockets rivals have received more generosity from the officials…

Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder)

He made the internet laugh by mimicking Lance Stephenson's air guitar celebration… right in front of him!

He has also scored 12 triple-doubles this season, twice as many as the next closest (Ben Simmons).

Memphis Grizzlies fans!

They haven't had much to cheer about this season, and it seems to have culminated in the past week.

They have lost 10 of their past 12 games, sit 11th in the Western Conference and are 18-21 for the season. A recent defeat reportedly resulted in a punch-up between team-mates Omri Casspi and Garrett Temple.

Highlights of the Memphis Grizzlies' visit to the San Antonio Spurs in week 12 of the NBA

Not enough? The Grizzlies have also been forced to work out the details behind Chandler Parsons' exit. His ill-fated spell has included just three games this season, and 73 in total since he arrived in 2016. Parsons is set to agree a departure in the third season of his four-year deal.

Grizzlies fans, keep your chins up.
