Russell Westbrook erupted with an efficient performance against his former team LA Lakers on Sunday. The Sacramento Kings' veteran point guard played with his trademark energy and even recorded a couple of huge highlight-worthy plays. At one point, Westbrook put Lakers forward Jake LaRavia, who is on a $12,000,000 contract, on skates with a diabolical move.

The former league MVP hit LaRavia with a nasty crossover and left the Lakers star in a complete blender. Westbrook showcased his dazzling handles and lightning-quick footwork to leave LaRavia in the shadows. He even appeared to mock the Lakers forward with a noticeable expression before capping the play with an effortless layup.

A fan commented:

Russ looked him dead in his face, and without saying a word, he said, "Oh, I can't repeat that on here."

Commented another:

Jake LaRavia is known as one of the best defenders in the league. This is amazing and Russ should just be given the mvp right now.

A fan wrote:

Getting crossed over by a 45 year old Westbrook is nasty business.

Younger Russ would’ve boomed that on his head 😂
