Russell Westbrook is no stranger to the slam. The Washington Wizards point guard showed off his hops to throw down a huge putback dunk during their play-in game against the Boston Celtics.
Unfortunately, his Wizards teammate Alex Len drew the brunt of Brodie's ire. Westbrook smacked the big man not once, but twice on his way down.

Russell Westbrook was clearly fired up after the play, which put the Wizards up three with seconds to go in the first half.. He flung his arms down in a show of passion, but didn't realize who was right down below.
The Wizards star has had a historic season this year. Westbrook passed NBA legend Oscar Robertson to become the league's all-time leader in triple-doubles. It's no surprise that Russ has once again averaged a trip-dub for the season. His stat line? 22.2 points, 11.5 rebounds, and an NBA-best 11.7 assists per contest. His rebound and assist averages are both high marks in his 13-year career.
When Russell Westbrook is firing on all cylinders, it feels like he's everywhere on the court at once. If Russ is coming at you, it might be best to get out of his way. His Wizards teammate Alex Len will be the first to tell you so.
