Oklahoma City Thunder star point guard Russell Westbrook is all about theatrics. The explosive guard loves to put on a show, home or away, and he did just that Thursday night against the Charlotte Hornets.
The Thunder were up 106-102 with roughly 40.0 seconds left in regulation. Russell Westbrook had the ball at the top of the key and started to drive left after receiving a screen from center Steven Adams.
After coming off the screen, Westbrook hit Hornets big man Cody Zeller with a filthy shammgod move for an easy layup, a play that drew oohs and aahs from the Charlotte crowd.
