Russell Westbrook might be basketball’s best straight-line driver. But the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar certainly has some wiggle, too. Just ask Danny Green.
The dribble move here is one thing – a handful of guards could pull that off. But the floating, finger-roll finish, as well? Russ is an absolute monster.
Unfortunately for the Oklahoma City Thunder, though, he’s been something far closer to human against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. Westbrook has 16 points at intermission, but on just 5-of-14 shooting. The Spurs, meanwhile, are making 63 percent of their shots and 70 percent of their three-pointers en route to a 21-point halftime lead.
Does Westbrook have tens of these moves to pull-out in the second half? It looks like that’s what it will take for Oklahoma City to catch San Antonio.
