The do-it-all Oklahoma City Thunder point guard actually did it all on Wednesday night, including turning this wicked block at one end into a spin move, behind-the-back gem at the other.

But even after recording the first triple-double of this year’s NBA Playoffs, with a staggering 51 points, 13 assists, and 10 rebounds, Russ wasn’t in the mood to shower himself with adulation.

The Houston Rockets may have won Game 2, 115-111, but when this series gets back to OKC, Russ is going to have the home crowd willing him on.

Never underestimate the power of individual greatness.
