Russell Westbrook Forgets to Dribble, Commits Egregious Travel

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook will likely be an MVP favorite come this spring, but he learned Wednesday evening he still has to play by league rules.  

Less than five minutes into the third quarter of his team's game against the Golden State Warriors, Westbrook began an offensive possession.

But the electric athlete seemingly forgot to dribble, as he took no fewer than five steps before bouncing the ball on the Oracle Arena floor. 

Just as surprising as Westbrook's travel was how long it took a referee to notice the rule violation.
