Russell Westbrook is a freak of nature. Standing at 6-foot-3 and a chiseled 200 pounds, the Oklahoma City Thunder star is plenty aware of his athletic gifts and he is not afraid to make the most of them.
Matched up against a much-less physically imposing Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson, Westbrook took the bully-ball approach and squared him up, dropping his shoulder as he drove to the bucket and mercilessly stepping over him a la Allen Iverson over Tyronn Lue.
Ruthless.
It's the best of both worlds: the savagery of overpowering his opponent and the barbaric instinct to glare at Johnson laying on the hardwood, helpless.
Russell Westbrook will take no prisoners this season and Johnson learned his lesson the hard way during the Thunder's 97-85 home victory over the Heat.
