Russell Westbrook is spectacular in every sense of the word. His speed, his style, his ferocity, his all-around play and his spunk all are what constitute his superstardom. Besides all of these things, what might be the most amazing thing about Russy is the fact that he doesn’t break his hands every time he dunks.

His jam during Game 5 of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s series with the Dallas Mavericks looks painful. Westbrook cuts backdoor, receives a bounce pass from Nick Collison and proceeds to hop into the air for the two-handed tomahawk.

Dwight Powell and J.J. Barea decide against challenging Russ at the rim, which you can’t entirely blame them for.

And of course, Russ caps off the play by staring smugly at the Thunder bench, who are all going bonkers.
