Welcome back to the Friendly Bounce Belt, our power rankings of awesome moments in the NBA. Last week, LeBron James took home the title for his big performance against the Warriors, and his selfie that took twitter by storm. Let’s see who took it home and knocked off the King this week. 

The Champion: Russell Westbrook 

It’s always something special when someone posts a triple-double. When you do it four times in a row, and five out of six games? Yeah, that’s ridiculous. We’re watching Russell Westbrook do something so ridiculous that it’s amazing. Oh, and two of those triple-doubles? They came after breaking a bone in his face, which caused him to miss just one game. He’s been absolutely insane all week — he was averaging 46 points, 11.5 rebounds and 8.5 assists going into action on Sunday — and picked apart the Raptors on Sunday night. So, yeah, he ran away with this one.

The Contenders 

Joel Embiid goes between the legs

It’s a shame that Joel Embiid isn’t going to play any this season. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t get some ridiculous videos of him doing things before games. Like this. I mean, come on, a seven-footer shouldn’t be able to do that THAT easily.

3’Twaun Moore game winner 

Having watched E’Twaun Moore play for the last two seasons in Orlando, I knew he didn’t do a whole lot. He would get hot sometimes and made a few three’s in a row. Other than that, he didn’t add a lot. Now, he’s hitting game winners against the Thunder. God bless you young soul. god bless you.

Craig Sager returns 

You know, there are sometimes moments in sports that make you get emotional. When Craig Sager made his return to the sideline on Thursday after an 11 month battle with cancer… It got real dusty in here.

Steph Curry breaks the Clippers

I mean, come on. This isn’t even fair, Steph.
