Few players in NBA history have been blessed with Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook’s rare combination of strength and speed.
In Sunday night’s win over the Pistons, Westbrook displayed that explosiveness by taking a rebound coast-to-coast and finishing with a wicked, one-handed slam.
WATCH:
Westbrook should be convicted of assault and battery, but the rim decided not to press charges.
Let the record state that Josh Smith didn’t exactly put up a great defensive effort, but I don’t particularly blame him. It’s embarrassing to get dunked on. It’s even more embarrassing to get absolutely posterized by a guy that’s half a foot shorter than you.
Way to pick your battles, Josh.
