Whether it’s in the middle of a media scrum or in the middle of a tense game, Russell Westbrook has never been afraid to wear his emotions on his sleeve. He’ll call out reporters and taunt players with his go to ‘Rock the Baby’ celebration after beating them for a basket, but he also has no problem rubbing salt in the wound by using another player’s go to celebration right in front of them.
On Wednesday night, the Oklahoma City Thunder put together a big fourth quarter to steal a win from the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center and Westbrook had some fun at Lance Stephenson’s expense in the victory.
After Paul George burned Stephenson for the and-one late in the second quarter, Westbrook reacted to the impressive individual effort by rocking Stephenson’s air guitar celebration right in front of the Lakers guard/forward and followed that up by winking and blowing a kiss in his direction.
Less than a minute later Stephenson had to deal with another Thunder player taunting him as George busted out the air guitar celebration after forcing his former Pacers teammate to miss the final shot of the half.
Not only did Stephenson get hit with his own celebration twice in one game, but he’s now been mocked three times in a one week span as Los Angeles Clippers’ Lou Williams hit him with it last week.
