Russell Westbrook joined the Los Angeles Clippers after he was traded by the Los Angeles Lakers and bought out. While the team was keen on having him on board, things haven’t been ideal since he joined.
One of the signs of dissatisfaction is when players start getting affected by what fans are doing. And this happened with Russell Westbrook in his last game, where he had a fan ejected for mocking him with his ‘rock the baby’ celebration.

The Los Angeles Clippers have played a couple of thrillers against the Sacramento Kings recently, although they have lost both games. And in the last one, a fan sitting courtside did the ‘rock the baby’ celebration with the Kings up by 3.
This didn’t sit well with Westbrook, who called over arena security and had the fan tossed from the game. Even as he was going out though, the fan continued to do the action, seemingly unperturbed by Westbrook getting agitated thanks to his actions.
The Clippers couldn’t close the deficit at the end of the game and lost by a point, meaning Russell Westbrook didn’t even get the last laugh in the situation. And fans had quite a bit to say about the whole affair.

“Russ is still the softest player in the NBA,” proclaimed one fan.
Russ is the only player in the league who has fans ejected from games for rooting against him and doing his own mockery

Some jokes write themselves, like this one: “Ironic Russ was upset about the rock the baby taunt and proceeded to act like one.”
Russell Westbrook was quite good in the game itself, racking up 27 points and 10 rebounds. But it wasn’t enough for the win, which is what matters the most in the NBA. The Clippers need to figure something out quickly, or they could be having some deep trouble moving forward.
