Russell Westbrook`s Incredible Flip Shot

[LowlifeMyWholeLife]

Probably my greatest live moment as an OKC fan. I remember yelling so loud when the shot went in, and I love Kobe's reaction he knew the series was over lmao.

[LakersCP]

I fucking love watching when he gets so pumped up like that

[freerobbin]

Watching this after he got traded brings a tear to my eye

[AlexisDeLargo]

Kobe's face says it all: the end of an era. Last playoff game of his carreer, the arrival of three MVPs (Westbrook, Harden, Durant) and the Lakers decline for almost a decade.


Seeing this now, it is also sad to know that Kobe didn't live enough to see the Lakers in playoffs again.

[Iarenzo]

At this moment it was the beginning of the end, for LAL being an elite contender.

[tobiogunyemi]

For me, this is when Russell Westbrook arrived. Wonderful to watch.

[LAsbest]

I have the same reaction after making one shot in a pickup game.

[gabrielschuster]

He is so electrifying like the dwayne rock version of the nba

[PsychologyOK]

He's not cocky about it, he's just an emotional player. Yes, it is the playoffs and it was a big play that the crowd went nuts on and Russel feeds off that. It was no doubt the catalyst that started the big run to finish off the Lakers so I have no problem with it whatsoever. It was a great moment if you are a Thunder fan.

One of the most iconic moments in Westbrook’s career 💯

[RaymansCat]

10 years of being a Thunder fan. Just started watching the NBA and hadn't picked a team yet. Saw this in the game and immediately became a Westbrook fan and consequently a Thunder fan. Been a wild 10 years for sure.

[darthwooser]

What's unbelievable is how loud that crowd is there. My god so energetic and loyal to their only team in sports, reminds me of the Sacramento Kings with Webber and company.

[bradleymeal]

And now he’s gone. The last of an era.

[Hoopculture]

i remember watching this live... and even re-watching it now it still gives the same goosebumps

[giovannilibonati]

This moment right here was the true beginning of Russell Westbrook’s career

[daveuz]

this moment gotta be one of the most loud and hyped moments in recent nba history

[MannyOnFye]

Man i actually felt sorry for Kobe lol

[thejaycotti]

sad because this was kobe’s last playoff game

[KNSHN]

All time favorite Russ moment, just the absurdity of that shot even making it was amazing

[robertosalazar]

This is my last memory of the Lakers in the play offs. The sweep to the spurs is permanently erased from my memory
