America has been blessed with some great dancing duos.
Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. Russell Westbrook and Cameron Payne.
But one man's waltz is another man's dirty dancing. Charlie Villanueva, perhaps citing Ecclesiastes' third chapter, declared there's a time to dance and a time for war, and he considers the Western Conference playoffs the latter.
Villanueva stepped between Westbrook and Payne during their pregame ritual Monday night. Stepped between America's newest dancing sensations and into the Thunder's hall of villains, where Patrick Beverley, Metta World Chaos, Matt Barnes and Zach Randolph reside.
