Russell Westbrook shines as the Thunder beat Washington
At that point, Westbrook was informed about the list being in alphabetical order, and a light bulb went off in his head.
Paul George deflected the ball, grabbed it and zipped his own bounce pass, into the open court for Russell Westbrook to run down.
After the NBA All-Star rosters were announced with team captains Stephen Curry and LeBron James "drafting" their teammates in something akin to a playground pick-up game.
So not only did Westbrook think he was taken last to be on Team LeBron, but that his opponent for that night was picked one spot ahead of him.
Russell Westbrook scored a season-high 46 points as Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Washington Wizards 121-112 to record their sixth successive win. Westbrook mistakenly thought that this meant he was the last player drafted to the team. None other than his opponent John Wall.
Feeling spited, he would have himself quite a game.

The Thunder cruised to a 121-112 win. He dropped 46 points on the Wizards on 19-of-29 shooting including 21 points in the fourth quarter and several thunderous dunks.
Westbrook: "But I see I was the last pick, though, on the list". He said it was "cool", before Carmelo Anthony started heckling him to tell the media how he really felt. "Alphabetical order! Of course I was first". I'm just trying to figure out how.
Unfortunately Westbrook was not first either.
We can't truly know exactly when Westbrook was selected, because the National Basketball Association opted against televising the All-Star Draft, but one could make an educated guess that he was LeBron's first reserve selection after Steph, presumably, selected one of his Warriors' teammates.
You get the impression, judging by Westbrook's interaction with Melo, that Anthony managed to convince him the list wasn't alphabetical.
