‘This Man Leads the League in Beefs’: Russell Westbrook’s Latest Altercation With Heckler Has NBA Fans Confused
Russell Westbrook's trouble with the fans is never ending and the guard got into an altercation with Charlotte Hornet fan before Clippers game against them.
Russell Westbrook is one of the names that divides the fan base in the NBA like no other. The veteran star has been on the receiving end of some of the most pathetic verbal abuse from the fans in recent years.
The guard was seen as meme material when he played for the LA Lakers and even though his performances have improved since his move to LA Clippers, the name-calling and roasting continues for him from fans of different franchises.
The latest incident occurred before the start of the game against the Charlotte Hornets. The fan was seen taunting and heckling Westbrook from the stands and Westbrook didn’t sit back.
Russ went to the fan and got into a heated exchange of words. The arena security guard rushed to the scene and made sure that the situation wasn’t getting out of control. Westbrook has been involved in verbal spats and fan altercations inside the arena frequently.
What was the alleged conversation?
The former MVP is reported to have told the heckling fan the following:“I got kids. Don't disrespect my name, Do you understand me? I don't give a f-ck!"
How did the fans react?
Clippers on the rise?
The Los Angeles Clippers are on fire this season after an inconsistent start to the season. They didn’t break any sweat in dispatching the struggling Hornets 130-118 on Sunday and with that win, they are now the fourth-placed team in the Western Conference.
Paul George was firing on all cylinders and ended the game with 41 points, and Ivica Zubac finished with a double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds. Russell Westbrook had another decent game coming from the bench as he scored 11 points, pulling down 5 rebounds, and dishing out 4 assists.
Some recent altercations of Russell Westbrook
It's not even two months to the last altercation that Russell Westbrook had with a fan. Russ got into a heated exchange with a Miami Heat fan at Kaseya Center in the middle of the game. The heckler was ejected from the arena after arguing with Russ.
In the post-game press conference in November, Westbrook argued with a Lakers fan once more, saying, "It's unfortunate they think they can get away with saying anything. I personally won't allow it," he said, indicating that he will keep clapping back at hecklers.
