Audio reveals heated exchange between Ryan Rollins, Russell Westbrook during Bucks-Kings

The Milwaukee Bucks took care of business on Sunday , as they crushed Russell Westbrook and the Sacramento Kings on the road, 115-98, at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.

While the result was lopsided, the game had some heated moments. One of those involved rising guard Ryan Rollins and future Basketball Hall of Famer Russell Westbrook.

Here’s the video that has been gaining some traction on social media.

What Russell Westbrook Really Said To Ryan Rollins:

Russ: “You didn’t do sh*t”

Rollins: “Look who’s talking, I said what I said”

Russ: “You ain’t like sh*t, imma see you again”

The Bucks bench intervened, but Russ said:

That clip also shows (or reveals) that Rollins isn’t one to back down against anyone in the league — even against an established legend like Westbrook. There’s a reason why the former Toledo Rockets star is one of the NBA’s rising stars and is viewed as a candidate to win the Most Improved Player Award, and the mentality he showed during that exchange with the former NBA Most Valuable Player.

Rollins helps Bucks take down Kings

In any case, Rollins and the Bucks got the win over Westbrook and the Kings, 115-98. The 23-year-old Rollins had 12 points on 4/11 shooting from the field and 2/5 from behind the arc to go along with six rebounds, three assists and a steal in 34 minutes of action on the floor. Westbrook had 21 points, but he needed 16 shots from the field to get there.

Selected in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks, Rollins is having a career year with the Bucks, as he is putting up averages of 17.2 points, 5.8 assists and 4.3 rebounds per outing, so far in the 2025-26 NBA campaign.
