It's not every day that Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder misses a wide open dunk. Against the Memphis Grizzlies, the All-Star botched a highlight dunk, but was gracious enough to laugh it off.
As observed, his teammates were anticipating a power finish from the 30-year-old. After all, he was all by his lonesome. But then, things went sour as Westbrook might have put too much strength in the jam.
His reaction was a hilarious one. Many fans believe that it could be turned into a meme.

One can't help but wonder what was going on Westbrook's mind when he lifted off. Did the recent All-Star game trade involving him running through his mind?
To recall, he was traded for Ben Simmons and will now be playing for Team Giannis in the upcoming All-Star break. This means that he'll be teammates with Joel Embiid — a player whom he has a mini-rivalry with.
Apart from the superstars themselves, fans will be on the lookout for Embiid and Westbrook, particularly how they'll interact with one another.
Be as it may, Westbrook's failed dunk attempt yielded a priceless reaction from the eight-time All-Star. The botched dunk will definitely not make it to his highlight reel.
But his unique reaction will make tons of rounds on the Internet as fans use it for memes and other hilarious things.
