Russell Westbrook missing a dunk led to a hilarious moment during a game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies.

During Thursday’s game, a steal by Westbrook led to a breakaway and, presumably, an easy two points for the Thunder guard. Unfortunately, Westbrook missed the two-handed dunk. What should have been a highlight-reel-worthy finish for Westbrook will still end up being a replayed moment, but for a different reason.

After missing the dunk, Westbrook took a couple of seconds to stare at the rim as if it were the rim’s fault he missed the dunk.
