Top 5 Celebrations in the NBA

#2 Russell Westbrook\'s Ironic Finger Guns

Next up we have another three-point celebration, this one courtesy of Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Much like Matthews, Russ’s celebration of holding up each hand like a finger gun with three fingers up, blowing on them mimicking a shooter blowing the powder away from the gun barrel before holstering the finger guns is simple yet effective in showing the joy he has in knocking down a three.

Russ usually only breaks out this celebration when he is feeling his shot or makes a three pointer at a big point in the game. Russ always accompanies the holstering of his finger guns with his patented smile or yell.

What makes this celebration great is the fact that Westbrook is a poor three point shooter, 30% for his career, and he should almost never take the three that he just did. So while he is smiling and yelling about the big shot he made, many are sitting there shaking their heads laughing that he got so lucky to even make it in the first place. Sometimes, the best quality to a celebration is how ironic in can be for the players skill set.
