Eric Bledsoe momentarily forgets how to play basketball, dribbles ball from out of bounds
Nearly two years ago, Russell Westbrook committed the worst—or greatest, depending on your definition—travel violation in NBA history.

To be fair to Westbrook, travels don't get called as often as they should in the Association, but c'mon. Look at this!

Check out this instant classic blooper as Bledsoe takes the ball from the ref during the fourth quarter of a close game and just takes off down court:
Whoops.
