In the historic night where Russell Westbrook logged in the 100th triple-double of his career, the Oklahoma City Thunder guard also unveiled several tricks up his sleeve.

The 29-year-old stud is seen faking a behind the back pass before rising up for the lay-up.

It was a page out of New Orleans Pelicans guard Rajon Rondo's book – a move that he made famous during his stint with the Boston Celtics. It is not just Westbrook who has emulated the play. Players from all over the NBA have used the move to their advantage. And it is not just in the NBA, but the move is being done in simple pick-up game.

It's a rather crafty play after all. Westbrook, who's been notoriously known as someone can dish and score, effectively used the move to his advantage. The move seems to fit his playstyle. Whenever he drives, the defense is on the lookout either for an easy lay-up or dunk or a dish to a wide open teammate.

Whenever he drives, he attracts so much attention that the defense collapses momentarily. In most occasions when the defense merges on him, he has the vision to kick out the ball for an easy assist. This ability places his foes on their heels. They have to rotate quick if they want to have a chance at stopping the ball.

Perhaps the video is a good example on why in every possession, Westbrook either scores or dishes out an assist. And as the game goes on, his statistics stack up, and before we know it, he has logged in another triple-double.

In the same game, Westbrook recently logged in the 100th triple double of his career, a feat which the NBA reported.
