Russell Westbrook Defends Himself After Threatening Fan During Game saying ‘I Won’t Take Disrespect’

A video of Russell Westbrook yelling at a fan during Oklahoma City Thunder and Utah Jazz game on March 11 has gone viral. In the video, Russell can be heard threatening a male in the crowd. “I’ll f*** you up,” he says. “You AND your wife!” The beginning of the verbal altercation was not caught on camera, so it was not immediately clear what started the war of words. However, after the game, Russell, claimed that the man told him to “Get down on your knees like you’re used to.” He found the comment “disrespectful,” and considered in “racial,” which is why he went off.
