Russell Westbrook took off from around the dotted line for a big-time one-handed leaner…
I can’t decide what I enjoy most about this play: the scream, the couple of swagged-out steps he takes upon landing, or the guy at the end of Houston’s bench who couldn’t help but jump up and act hyped for a second. Shane Battier simply had to laugh this one off… you can see him grinning as he runs back up the court around the 15 second mark. Honorable mention to DeJuan Blair.
Dunk rating on the Starbury Nastiness Scale:
9/10 Starbury Nasty Faces.
