With Kevin Durant set to miss about a quarter of the season, the Oklahoma City Thunder will rely heavily on Russell Westbrook but they also will need a hearty dose of Reggie Jackson and Steven Adams.
Luckily for the Thunder, in an NBA commercial, Jackson and Adams show they have started to put together a secret language that will allow them to succeed. Nonverbal communication is critical in basketball and the head nod is essential in everyday life. Jackson and Adam take the two to create a head-nod system in the commercial. One nod means Jackson will pass the ball to Adams, while a second up-down motion means an alley-oop.

The commercial is quite comical, but it is true to form. The Thunder will need both Jackson and Adams as complements to Westbrook, their current alpha dog.
