Russell Westbrook, was having another spectacular game. He had just made a pass setting up a basket -- one of a stunning 19 assists he made in the game -- when Davis put an exclamation point on the Westbrook pass, saying Westbrook was playing "out of his cotton-pickin' mind."
Davis is white and Westbrook is black, in case you haven't figured that out. And in case you have absolutely no knowledge of history, slaves once upon a time picked cotton in the South.

I and my family did, for YEARS! Well, technically, I was too young to “pick” cotton, so I “pulled” cotton. Of course, unless you have actually done that kind of work, you probably wouldn’t know the difference!
My paternal grandmother owned 65 acres of land in northeast Mississippi. Every year, I think usually in October, we would take two or three days out of school and pick cotton. My father used to say, “You want new school shoes? You will pick cotton!” He wasn’t kidding, either!
Brilliant quote.

The first, and last time I saw Darkies picking cotton the old fashioned way was on a trip by bus through South central Arkansas in 1968. I thought I was in the OLD SOUTH for a moment.
Most places out West Texas were using mechanical pickers.
Both of my (white) parents picked cotton in their youth.
