Russell Westbrook needed just 0.7 seconds to pull off this basketball brilliance

Oklahoma City Thunder rallied to beat the Utah Jazz last night.

ITโ€™S DIFFICULT TO do anything massively significant in 0.7 seconds.

I mean, it took Conor McGregor 18 times as long to KO Jose Aldo on Saturday night.

But thatโ€™s all the time Russell Westbrook needed to conjure up this piece of basketball magic last night.

With Oklahoma trailing the Utah Jazz by 15 points, and less than a second to go before half-time, Westbrook got set to inbound the ball for one last quick play.

There were a couple of small problems. For one thing, the Jazzโ€™s coverage was pretty good; plus, isnโ€™t Westbrook the guy you want to be taking the shot?

Never mind.

Outsmarting everyone on the court, Westbrook bounced the ball off the back of oblivious defender Rodney Hood, caught it himself, spun, shotโ€ฆ and scored.

All in the space of 0.7 seconds.

OKC went on to reel in the 13-point deficit in the second half before winning in overtime, 104-98.

    The way Kilkenny treat football in their county is shameful.

    Seems a pretty miserable total for sure, but by all accounts the weather was shocking & Dublin keeper made a couple of great saves, as well as Kilkenny hitting 10-11 wides, so it couldโ€™ve been a lot closer. It certainly was closer when these teams met at younger age groups.

    That Con Oโ€™Callaghan lad is one to watch. Think he scored 1-8 for the minor footballers last week too.

    True, but hopefully he might follow in the footsteps of his older brother Cian!

    26 scores is some scoring to be fair, Laois have really sorted out their underage hurling structures, in fact their seniors could cause an upset or two this summer.
