Lakers superstar Russell Westbrook is just as fiery off the court as he is on the court. As a guy who gives his all in everything he does, Russ is the kind of guy who people can depend on to show up and take care of business.
He’s also not afraid to stick it to the hecklers.
On Friday night (during L.A.’s shocking win over the Bucks), Russ went viral online for a heated altercation with a courtside fan. According to Russ, the fan was screaming profanities at him before being confronted by the former MVP and receiving a warning from the team.

The fan denies saying anything malicious towards Westbrook, but he definitely said something and it didn’t appear to be very friendly. For the Lakers, it’s yet another memorable moment for them in what has been a mostly disappointing season so far.
Can Russell Westbrook Continue His Resurgence With The Lakers?
It remains to be seen how this season will play out for L.A., but there is reason to be optimistic if you’re Lakers fan. Besides the recent play of Anthony Davis, Westbrook has seemingly found a stride on the team and he has looked a lot better than he did last season.
All-in-all, a perfect storm could be brewing for this Lakers crew, and it could be enough to shock the world.
“We’re where we need to be. Yeah, we let some slip away, but I think we’re clicking at the right time. Obviously, with Troy [Brown Jr.] and Lonnie [Walker IV] out, but this team is starting to gel on both ends of the floor,” said Anthony Davis on the team’s progress. “We had a good conversation yesterday about our late game execution, and we executed tonight at the end of the game. We know how good we are, but we got to produce on the floor. So, we’re just staying together, staying locked in, and then taking one game at a time.”
The season is still young, and the Lakers still have a long way to go before they accomplish anything of note this year, but things are finally starting to look up for this team.
As for Russ, we already know what to expect from him. Besides his All-NBA talent, he’s going to bring that same competitive fire and toughness that has made him so widely respected for his NBA career.
