Watch: Russell Westbrook gets into heated exchange with fan

Russell Westbrook isn’t afraid to speak his mind. This includes standing up for himself when he believes a fan has crossed the line with trash-talking.

In the Sacramento Kings’ latest game against the Miami Heat, which was this past Saturday, a fan called Westbrook “Westbrick.” Westbrook is not a fan of this taunt and let the fan know about it.

“What you say?” Westbrook asked. “Don’t play around with me. Don’t play on me.”

The taunt certainly fired Westbrook up, who finished the game with 12 points on 5-11 shooting, 10 assists, and four steals. The Kings won 127-111 over the Heat, as Zach LaVine recorded season highs of 42 points and eight three-pointers made.
