To say Oklahoma City Thunder star Russell Westbrook is expressive on the hardwood would be an understatement.

We each have a Westbrook story that pops into mind -- there are at least a dozen to choose from -- when we think of his on-court brashness, and we can now add another one to the growing list.

At Team USA minimcap in Las Vevgas on Wednesday, Westbrook was participating in a scrimmage with new Thunder assistant coach Monty Williams when the following interaction occurred:

"It's a non-contact camp," Williams said after he tried bodying up Westbrook, who shoved him with an elbow to the gut. "A non-contact camp."

"I don't wanna hear that shit," Westbrook snapped back.

"You know last week I wasn't playing you like this," Williams said.

Well, that's one way to make an impression on your future assistant coach.

We expect nothing less from Westbrook. Russ is gonna Russ.
