In typical blockbuster fashion, the NBA proved once again that it's offseason drama is unlike no other major North American sports league.

On Thursday night, the Houston Rockets acquired Russell Westbrook from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Chris Paul and a bevy of draft picks. The destination shocked the basketball world, but the trade itself was rumoured to be coming down the line at some point.

One of the most popular sayings in sports is "where were you?" when a certain game or trade went down.

Let's apply this saying to Russell Westbrook and ask where he was when the trade went down. You might be surprised to find out.

He was hosting a comedy show in Tulsa, Oklahoma, why of course.

Woj tweeted out the trade at 8:26 pm ET, meaning the show was just about to begin.

Russell very well could've been notified earlier in the night, which surely could've impacted his hosting skills, but regardless, it's a fascinating tidbit to a crazy trade.
