As observed, Kevin Durant — who was right behind Looney — was a bit frustrated when the big man wasn't able to complete the play with a basket. He knew that it would've made for a terrific highlight.
It's pretty rare to see NBA players breaking out ‘The Shammgod.' After all, it is known as a street-ball move. As professionals, NBA players tend to stick to fundamentals. Once in a while, however, they add some spice to their dribbling moves.
Though we get to see it once in a while as guards like Russell Westbrook, Kyrie Irving, and Chris Paul utilize the move to render their defenders helpless. But then again, the players aforementioned play the point guard spot. Looney is a 6-foot-9 traditional power forward. What we just witnessed is a pretty rare highlight.
Be as it may, Looney has been performing well this season for the Warriors. In his fourth year, he's clocking in career numbers. So far, he's averaging 5.8 points per game, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 19 minutes.
