Oklahoma City Thunder star Russell Westbrook is averaging a triple-double this season, so it would stand that he should have a few show-stopping passes on his highlight reel. But what happened when the Thunder took on the Toronto Raptors on Thursday might be the one that tops the list for most folks.
On a fastbreak opportunity, Westbrook wound up and nutmegged Toronto’s Cory Joseph. From halfcourt.

Your eyes do not decieve you. Freeze frame of the play indeed confirms that Westbrook passed through Joseph’s legs to get Victor Oladipo a bucket.
It might also confirm that he’s not human. Still checking on that.
