would not be surprised if Westbrook is about to get suspended...

Westbrook threatens courtside fan, fan's wife

Quote:
Russell Westbrook confronted a male fan and his wife Monday night during the Oklahoma City Thunder's win at Utah, telling the man he would "f---" him up and do the same to his wife.


Quote:
"I promise you," Westbrook says in the exchange. "You think I'm playing. I swear to God. I swear to God. I'll f--- you up; you and your wife. I'll f--- you up."

Someone off-camera then appears to attempt to verbally intervene.

"No, f--- that! f--- that!" Westbrook shouts, pausing before resuming his initial exchange.

"I promise you, everything I love," Westbrook says. "Everything I love n----, I promise you."

LA smashes the Celtics! Only it’s the Clippers. Lou is freakin amazing, Harrell will never quit and Gallo is super skilled. At least LA will be represented in the playoffs.

Yeah, always great seeing ex-Lakers playing great for other teams. But I'll take any LA win over Boston.

Gonna guess that's gonna be the 'step too far' moment.

Apparently the fan told him to get down on his knees like he's used to. And Westbrook took it as a racist remark.

Could have been a racist remark, or the fan could have been saying Westbrook was gay and insinuating he's used to eating hotdogs with no bun.

Either way, Russ too a lot of offense to it.

Here's the fan response

Probably racist considering the Tweet history people have found from the fan. He has lashed out against Russ before and used racist language.

I do not know, but doubt the NBA will turn a blind eye to Russ saying he would "F" the guys wife up....and dropping the N word.

Lou is the highest scoring bench player. Ever.

I mean I hate to be stereotypical here but he has the look of someone for whom that wouldn't be surprising. And it is consistent with what players have experienced in Utah for years.

If we're going to have this small market mafia in the NBA then the NBA needs to at least address this crap.

Ummm, so having seen said Tweet from the dude he is a straight up racist and needs to be banned from the NBA for life. Westbrook is totally in the right here and if the NBA sides with this POS, I hope there is huge backlash from the players association.

I remember going to a game in Kobe's final season and Lou was making all sorts of ridiculous shots....it was pretty obvious he was still going all out knowing he might not be in a Laker uniform the following season.

at the time it was the smart play and I still think it was. we were tanking and he wasnt helping the tank and it didnt look like we'd be ready to be contenders before Lou was out of his prime so why not trade him in for a 1st round draft asset.

YeahNo

I do like the Warriors, but if the Nuggets or whatev were to come out of the West I’d be fine. Under no circumstances do I want the Rockets or the Clippers in the Finals.

Wait, Westbrook got fined? That's bs. The players have a right to defend themselves and if the league doesn't want incidents like this happening they need to find a way to separate the fans from the court - which they wont.

Yeah, they banned the guy but I'm sure he wont be the last. It seems like we're gonna have another Malice in the Palace within 2 years if they don't crack down on fans and stop fining players for calling them out.
