The high-stakes FIBA 3×3 U23 World Cup saw another phenomenal play that blew away the minds of spectators. This time, it was the Polish national team that delivered a massive death blow to its opponents by earning a crushing win over them. In fact, a player landed a Russell Westbrook-esque poster dunk on the opposition to further humiliate the opposition.

Polish basketball star Michał Kroczak blessed the crowd with an amazingly powerful dunk that whammed through the ring like Russell Westbrook. The young 22-year-old player’s outstanding play hammered the opposition hard and ended any chances of their near-impossible return.

Shutting down the opposition with a Russell Westbrook dunk

Russell Westbrook is one of the most forward-like guards in the NBA. The basketball star is a triple-double machine and a constant offensive threat no matter where he is on the court. Michał Kroczak showered the same torment on the Romanian team by slamming down a poster dunk to completely shut them down. FIBA 3×3 Basketball’s official X handle posted a video of the move via a tweet on the internet. 

According to the tweet, “Throws it down like Polish Westbrook!” Kroczak created some room for himself by luring the guard outside while dribbling the ball behind the arc. However, as soon as the Romanian guard took the bait, Kroczak charged down to the ring and dunked really hard. The 6’3 player scored the dunk when Poland was leading by 18-12. Unfortunately for Romania, the monstrous dunk paralyzed them to their core. 

Kroczak’s dunk took Poland’s score to 19, however, Romania’s knees got buckled by the intense dunk. The Romanians failed to score even a single point afterward, hence, their massive defeat of 22-12. While the Romanian scoreboard didn’t move beyond the 12-14 mark, the Russell Westbrook-style dunk depleted the Romanians of their morale. Along similar lines, Team USA also registered a great win when an NBA G League player unleashed his inner Kyrie Irving.

While McGowens played like Kyrie Irving and Kroczak played like Russell Westbrook, they also dominated the free throw line. Both sides will now move forward and compete to take the World Cup home.
