A 7th grader who challenged Oklahoma City Thunder star Russell Westbrook to a one-on-one match at his basketball camp stunned the crowd when he drained a three-point shot from just shy of half court, in a video that spread across the Internet.

The boy's coach, Jacob Padilla, posted the video online Saturday.
The coach said the boy, named Kyle, was tied 2-2 against Westbrook when he nailed the game-winning shot in Oklahoma.

Westbrook stood on the court shocked for a moment. Eventually he applauded, giving the kid a high-five and a hug.
It's a far cry from a previous one-on-one that made the rounds online. In that video, the NBA star showed off his dribbling before dunking on a different kid.
Westbrook has had an emotional week. His former teammate Kevin Durant announced days ago he was heading to the Golden State Warriors.

Durant said Westbrook took it hard.
