NBA fans have clashed with legendary players during wild moments. Russ has experienced similar situations multiple times.
At the interval of Game 1 vs the Phoenix Suns, Westbrook was observed arguing with a supporter. When the fan cried back, "Take it like a man," Westbrook responded, "Watch your mouth motherf*****!"
On his way to the locker room, a fan shouted, "You f***ing suck!" to Westbrook, who then challenged him to "say that to my face." The fan complied.
An incident with an unruly fan almost turned violent for Westbrook. A Nuggets fan taunted him after a game, making the fanbase look bad.
The image of a fan giving Westbrook the finger is widespread. The 76ers have a visible problem with Westbrook, but such mistreatment is unnecessary.
Dumping popcorn on Westbrook as he exited the court lacked class and sense. The 76ers fan could have faced worse consequences if Westbrook had his way.
