While it may just be the preseason, the competitive levels of Russell Westbrook and Jaden McDaniels seem to be at an all-time high, with evidence being their recent meeting on the hardwood. The two players had a heated yet hilarious moment, leaving social media in splits.

High on preseason energy, both Westbrook and McDaniels got into a bit of a tussle that involved shoves. However, what followed quickly turned the hostile situation into something rib-tickling, with the two parties engaging in some catch.

McDaniels wasn’t the most gentle as he passed the ball to Westbrook for a throw-in following a Wolves 3-pointer. However, Westbrook wasn’t one to let this fly under the radar letting the 6ft 9 forward know that he couldn’t just walk away from the situation.
