Russell Westbrook explains his incredible ‘Shammgod’ play

Russell Westbrook left fans spellbound with a beautiful move in the fourth quarter of the Thunder’s win over the Suns on Saturday.

Westbrook was being guarded by Devin Booker when he got a screen and dribbled to the free throw line. Then he completely stunned Tyler Ulis with an amazing “Shammgod,” which is a ridiculous one-handed crossover made famous by former player God Shammgod. Westbrook got credit for an assist as he dished to Steven Adams for the dunk. Take a look:

After the game, Westbrook acknowledged he was trying to entertain the fans.

“Sometimes I try time stuff, sometimes it goes well, sometimes it don’t. I tried it, it worked,” Westbrook said after the game. “I just try to read and react to my man, try different moves, bring some joy to the game. That’s what I try to do every night — have fun, put smiles on peoples’ faces. That’s the best part of this game — being able to touch people in different ways in all parts of the world by having fun and enjoying the game.”

Westbrook has been entertaining fans all season. He recorded yet another triple-double, as he scored 26 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to go along with his 22 assists. What he’s doing this season is special.
