[Highlight] Westbrook getting heckled by rocket fans, King fan stands up for Russ “Hey leave Russ alone!”
MITWestbrook sighting?
He would be throwing hands with the fan doubt
MIT is a woman
No it’s a university
We are ALL universities on this blessed day
Speak for yourself
I am ALL universities on this blessed day
You’ll never been anything more than an Institute with that attitude, smh
Don’t mis-entity me
That’s what they want you to think
Has this been proven? Iirc, they alluded to it but wouldn’t you do the same if you really wanted to remain anonymous?
it’s just a joke originating from here but now people, whether jokingly or not, keep saying MIT is a woman. https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/10l0aa2/reporter_being_hilariously_nice_to_westbrook/j5tryru/
Lol thanks for linking back that thread. Gave me a good laugh.
so woman?

This would be what I thought he would probably look like lol.
MITWESTBROOK BACK AT IT 🔥🔥
Not what I imagined but it makes sense and I’ll never unsee it
He’s not allowed in the same building as Westbrook after the incident
what’d he do
*she, put some respeck on her name
King shit
Nice
Instead of being banned from the arena, he now has to attend every single home game.
It’s why I don’t leave this team.
We have one of the realest fanbases in sports.
No disrespect but when your team sucks. Only the real ones stay. When the thunder were tanking. The community was the most fun.
POKU TIME
why did the whole fanbase irrationally have faith in poku
presti always loved his projects
i was convinced perry jones the 3rd would be the wing we needed
I got so delusional about thunder players during that stretch. I thought poku’s ceiling was a poor man’s KD. Giddey was the next Magic Johnson
LOL poor man’s KD is crazy. I figured he was more like a low-end Ben Simmons.
By poor, he means “KD if KD couldn’t shoot middies”
Two years from being two years from being KD.
Current American levels of wealth inequality poor man’s KD
Crazy how fast it all came together for the Thunder. This feels like it was last year
I still think Tre Mann can hoop, he’s just short. Not sure why he was taken over Sengun though. Its like Presti wanted to wait for Chet.
I was so downtrodden when we didn’t bring Roby back.
I thought Théo Maledon was going to change our lives
i still think about darius bazley
as a fellow lefty hooper more so than anything
He was the proto-Chet in our eyes lmao. Still sad we never got to see them share minutes once in 2023-24.
PJ3 was dynamite for those like 5 games before he got hurt. Genuinely if he ever stayed healthy for more than a week at a time he might’ve been able to develop but he spent more time rehabbing than ever working on his game
But everybody kind of knew that going into the draft which is why he fell all the way down to us. It was a gamble. It did not pay off.
Was I still setting his potential to 99 and running Westbrook-Harden-KD-PJ3-Ibaka lineups though in 2K? You bet I fucking was.
I know how they felt. During the Spurs (brief) interregnum of mediocrity I would have done unspeakable things to defend the honor of Luka Samanic. He was “our Luka”. Lmao. At least Poku had a good mixtape
Was super high on him and Josh primo…
Yo Perry had one of the nastiest HS dunk mixes ever. I still remember individual dunks from that vid including the last one where his opponent makes the funniest face
perry jones 3 first two weeks in fantasy circa 2015 made me hold onto him for way too long lmao
I’m still here on Poku island telling people well look dumb when he winds up on another team and goes off.
It’s fun with Wemby and the young guns but there was something so ridiculously fun about being in a 50 comment post game thread with the 12 other Spurs fans speculating on why Pop was playing Brynn Forbes 30 minutes a game and if he was going senile.
Turned out he just had the long view.
his downfall must be studied ain’t no way he was THAT bad, or was it his lack of physique?
The guy looked like he could’ve been first team all IT
he needed to develop a solid jumper badly I guess
big guy that can’t shoot the 3 well enough to stretch the floor, decent handle but not tight enough to play guard (trust me, we tried), and yes overall lack of physicality
he was that bad
Hard agree, r/mkebucks hasn’t been the same since the chip. We lost a lot of our meme culture that day.
Obviously the r/nba shutting down on during the Nuggets finals had an effect, but same for nuggets. Mods took on a whole new level of cringe too.
Well, lucky for you we’re just about ready to re-launch the suicide bus again.
It’s got a full tank just waiting for us
I dunno the Kings seemed pretty fun when they were winning that one season lol
We were pretty toxic during the Warriors series tbh. Both sides were, to be fair, but it was one of the few times the fanbase was outright hostile. But then again, we haven’t played meaningful basketball in a long time either haha
Yeah but that’s also a rivalry and Draymond was attacking our players lol
Yeah… The Draymond effect is kind of understandably annoying lol
Likewise, when you’re team gets good again, all the worst fans come out of the woodwork
That’s when the “trade our bad players for good players” posts start to pop up.
He’s not a bad player but I stg I was so tired of “we need to trade Joe and Wiggins and picks for Cam Johnson” posts the last 2 seasons
Same with the Sixers tanking. It was so much more wholesome.
That was such a fun time. Memes and vibes were great
Jakarr Sampson, Tony Wroten never forget.
Really? I always thought fans were miserable during the process years ha
Nah it was after Hinkie got fired things went down hill. We (most of us) were fully onboard with the Process Era. Tony Wroten is forever a legend in my eyes.
Nope! The casual Sixers fan and Philly media hated it but the hard-core Sixers fans were all in and enjoying our “what-if” teams, only for the NBA to step in an fuck it all up. Once Hinkie was pushed out and the team became a Shakespearean tragedy in the playoffs is when we stopped having as much fun. Now the Sixers subreddit can be super toxic.
Dang
You ever heard of a comma?
Imagine being a Panthers fan through the years 🥲
Saying our team sucks is a little bit of a compliment we are straight ass.
I love communities when tanks occur. There’s a lot of doomers typically, but in general they are so much more fun to participate in than when people believe there’s a chance for a championship.
Y’all seemed to be having a bit of fun 2010-2016
Bro I almost left my team after our last season, a season with fucking KD on our roster, less because we sucked but we were the absolute most boring team in the NBA to watch and be a fan of. If I had to go through another season like that I would have lost my mind.
I’m a diehard and I stopped watching most of our games about 2⁄3 of the way through the season. It was too painful.
I’m so pleasantly surprised by our rebuild. We ain’t gonna be topping the West anytime soon but we put a competitive lineup out there and hustle our asses off every game, and in my book that’s all you have to do to keep me a fan.
Being good and being ass comes and goes, but go out there and play like an NBA team should and I’ll be cheering for you.
It was so much fun a couple years back when the beam was being lit. Could sense the buzz at those home games through the tv. It’s a fanbase id love to see have a winner.
As a Russ Stan I approve of this fan
The crazy thing is is that the buzz is still there just waiting for good shit to happen. Just a couple weeks ago against the Timberwolves, there were multiple plays where it sounded just like the playoffs.
It’s so fucking easy to get Kings fans to love you. We just want our guys to hustle and play hard.
It’s why we love Monk and Keon so much, those dudes are usually gonna give 100.
Same with Russ. He’s not an MVP anymore, but he gives way more shits than Zach and Demar do at the moment.
I remember the day I saw an old asian lady just devastated from the Cousins trade news. Her whole family was in shock, but she took it hard. You guys have real fans. Also wtf is up with your front office.
Vivek is a ho
I want that known
That was me. I was the old Asian lady.
On the real though, I did shed a few tears both when we traded Boogie (we were right on the edge of the playoffs), and Hali (hurt even more, he was one of the only players I’ve ever heard say “I want to play in Sac”’ in earnestness).
It’s rough.
That’s one of the casualties of success. Warriors had a goated fanbase until after that first championship in 2015 and since then we’ve had one of the most obnoxious fanbases in all of sports.
Kings fan about to make a “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE” video for Russ
I support the endeavor
That video is old enough to be an adult now.
And we all made fun of them for crying out for Britney, turns out they was super right about her.
Tbf, It wasn’t an uncommon sentiment. I mean shit I think even South Park made an episode about Brittney being abused by the media/paparazzi.
I don’t think people were making fun of their message as much as how they chose to spread it.
Sadly I think it was how that person did spread their message combined with South Park that society didn’t take it seriously, until things got weird weird.
I mean presentation matters 🤷♂️
One of the first lessons you gotta learn in the adult world is that from 10ft away the one yelling is always going to be the asshole. Right, wrong, or indifferent no one actually cares enough to find the context they’re just gonna prematurely judge you the asshole regardless.
Crying goes the same way. If you’re bawling your eyes out about something from 10 ft away most people aren’t going to take you seriously. They might stop and check on you to see if you’re okay, but that’s mostly to get you to stop crying they don’t really care about any of the words coming out of your mouth.
Just the way it is, man 🤷♂️
They might stop and check on you to see if you’re okay, but that’s mostly to get you to stop crying they don’t really care about any of the words coming out of your mouth.
speak for yourself
He was standing up for him, literally. I respect it lol
Westbrook the people’s champ
That man is unironically a chad for that
That’s my Goatbrook
Only the bestbrook
aint never gonna be no goodbrook without the badbrook
If you can’t handle me at my Westbrick you don’t deserve me at my Bestbrook.
Kings fans, you’re alright with us🤝
Westbrook is one of the only guys who gives a shit on this roster
We need him back, we’ll give you Ousmane Dieng for him lol
i love kings fans
The other day there was that post showing an empty smoothie king arena, and my first thought was: Kings fans would never.
Man Russ should be a king until he wants to retire. A King retires as a King.
Lebron should just sign to the Kings and retire as a King.
Sacramento King King James
I’m just saying - Lebron’s debut was against the Kings. Would be fitting for him to play out once last season as the King of Kings. Surely Vivek would give him a max just to ensure we sold more seats.
Isn’t Westbrook beloved by all the fanbases he’s played for except the bum ass lakers
He was literally with the rockets lol
we do not like him. he didn’t do anything wrong to us, it’s just that the harden vs westbrook mvp debates got nasty and then when he joined us we fell off a cliff from championship contender to mediocre
I’e say he was pretty good with the Pocket Rockets, but that was also like the dream spacing for him. Lakers exploited the hell out of his shooting woes though. The space he got in that series was borderline disrespectful.
they left him open on every shot and then proceeded to add him to their roster next year 😂
Didn’t he come back early from a calf injury or some shit which is why he was so horrible in the playoffs?
I remember him playing great up until that leg injury and then he couldn’t drive and since he can’t shoot he looked extra terrible out there.
He had a quad injury and covid. Then came back in the playoffs at like 50%
That’s it, I forgot he even got covid.
Feel like he’s always playing through injuries in the playoffs, then his performance tanks and he gets mocked with the usual “ haha look at westbrick “
Last year vs OKC his hand looked like there was a golf ball growing from his knuckle, his pain tolerance is crazy.
Flawed player but he was still one of my favorites to watch.
Absolutely. He’s always been my favorite, flaws and all.
Idc if a player has the most advanced lebron stats, I care if they have a lot of heart and leave it on the court.
That shit matters to me. Westbrook has fucked up his hand from over a decade of trying to break the rim.
He doesnt have long now before he’s out the league but glad to see him build a hall of fame resume on the way.
Every old school player has even come out saying that they’d pay to see Russ, like they often get to see games live for free because of media deals, but they would still pay to see him because he leaves it all on the floor.
That’s just been his career. I’d wish he’d retire a Thunder, just because it would give him a ring, but I doubt he’d accept it just because of his competitive drive.
He had the worst playoff series I’ve ever seen from a rocket
Then the lakers blew that shit up AND leveraged their future for him and I’m supposed to act like this was hindsight.
That’s not true of all rockets fans. Westbrook helped us beat the Chris Paul/ Lou dort thunder that year and ran into the eventual champs of LeBron and AD. I’m a rockets fan who loves Westbrook
The peak rockets era of basketball was a great time to be a fan.
Russ vs Harden 2017 MVP debates were insane lol
I personally stick with the idea that Russ deserved that MVP, although it was a very narrative based win.
Russ was really good for yall in 2020 though. Once yall went small, u guys started to cook. Then Covid came and he did suck ass in the bubble but he also had a hamstring injury that he rushed back from. I think you would’ve had a small chance if Covid never popped up and ruined that season (even though Lakers probably do still win)
Why would he ever be beloved by Lakers fans? Dude sucked ass at every single aspect of basketball. People still talk about his time here like we did him dirty when there’s compilations of him bricking open jumpers and missing point blank shots.
People reveling at our misery with Westbrook air balls + bricks highlights. Even the fans in the crowds at one point were getting on him whenever he had the ball (Didn’t an announcer say something also?). People really do have short memories…
Having to read MITs usual agenda was mind numbing, but hilarious.
You act like he wasn’t terrible when he played for the Lakers
These clowns really wanna pretend they haven’t been dragging this guy for YEARS. Even when he was with us this sub was having a field day posting every lowlight and taking every opportunity to talk shit.
It’s actually hilarious.
Yeah. Everyone was saying that the Lakers were gonna regret signing him. But now it’s “The Lakers ruined him”
His level of play has been largely consistent since leaving Washington. Only difference with the Lakers was his contract. Taking on Westbrook is one of the worst decisions by Pelinka (and/or Lebron, depending on who you believe runs the team). So I don’t think it’s all on Russ, but I also don’t think it’s irrational for Laker fans to not be happy with his performance. Kings fans aren’t more loyal… they are just more okay with losing.
He was exceptionally bad on the Lakers though. He could barely make a layup, and kept trying to shoot long jumpers.
Westbrook is great as a min player, he was a max player on Lakers turning the ball over in a lot of games during the last 2 mins it was basketball terrorism. You had announcers yell Noooooo when he prepares to shoot a 3.
Why would Lakers fans like him did you see what bro did in his tenure lmao
he was terrible with the Lakers, no shit he’s not beloved here
I’m making a shirt that says Leave Russ Alone. It’s overdue
She’s very gorgeous to me!
Was looking for this
Homie was standing on business. I respect it.
and then everyone clapped. lol
Your comment threw me off because people say that when they dont believe something happened lol
welcome to my wacky world
It’s weird timing because they’re actually clapping for a made free throw.
well it was real life not reddit
even albert einstein?
I like Kings fans.
Russ haters are corny
What have the Kings done to deserve their fan base?
Absolutely nothing. All the fairweather fans already jumped ship a long time ago
Only the basketball sickos remain and also Westbrook fans now.
sac is a weirdly huge sport city with only one major professional sports team
Good guy.
Hell yea you go king, fuck the Russ haters
Love this, Russ gets way too much hate and deserves his respect.
fuck COVID man, took him out in the bubble
I loved how weird that team was. No one in the middle just shooters and a lane for russ and harden. Also loved seeing harden do opening tip-offs lol.
That shit ain’t funny motherfucker! Leave Russel Wonder alone! He’s a basketball genius!
Lame fan to be heckling him during a blowout.
I hated Westbrook on the Lakers, but I went to a clipper game and everyone was cheering Westbrook when he would check in. It was pretty cool
u/MITWestbrook That you? 😂
Hell yeah
im here for the Russ appreciation!
BrodieGang forever
Hey Rockets leave our Russ alone, all and all you’re just another Westbrick in the wall
Bet that fan would not do that with Ja Gats Morant and his finger ammo.
Ja Gats Morant made me lol
Pretty funny that the only bright spots for the Kings have been Westbrook and a fan who heckled Zach LaVine
Got the hittas everywhere you go
Mans standing in bizness lol
SHE IS VEEY GORGEOUS TO MEEE
It’s a shame. Russ was great for the Rockets.
Me yelling at my tv
Thank you Kings fans for being more entertaining than the actual Kings team. May god bless your team soon.
LEAVE BRITTANY ALONE
Kings fans are the best
Respect. Don’t be a jerk to people whose only crime is not being great a frickin game.
That was so performative
He’s a King’s fan, he understands humiliation.
Houston should be ashamed of what Pat Bev did to take Russ’ knee out. It was 100% a hit job.
Leave Russ Alone 🤓
Kings fans are some of the most loyal fans in sports. Y’all good in my book.
I used to be htownballa, then news came that tye rockets might try to pair Harden with Westbrook and I was like, “No way is Morey this stupid… I’ll bet my username this doesn’t happen.”
Anyways, so I have I’m htownballa1 now……
People can hate on Russ for an ill-timed shot or having a bad shooting night and continuing to shoot. But in league where players want to take plays and games off, Westbrook is stands tall as a player who plays hard everytime he is on the court. Fans buying tickets will know and see that guy is bringing his best effort.
The people’s champ
Wait a second, do you guys just have spectators sitting wherever they like? There’s no away section?
Westbrook Fd around for years and built a career on being hated by everyone that was not on his team. Im not sure this situation or what was being yelled and some people cross line so it may be that case but as a whole Westbrook deserves most the shit yelled at him.
Oh how the turn tables
We were the team that the NBA literally stepped in to forbid making fun of Westbrook lmao
You don’t even have to try hard to get under his skin. Dude is paper thin soft with his emotions. This is like kicking a toddler. Too easy.
That applause syncs so well too lol
I’ve talked a lot of shit about Russ but I’m done. He’s a great player. Fun to watch and if I only got to watch 50 players ever, I’d wanna see him out there.
Love it. He probably thought the perfectly timed crowd applause was for him 👏hahaha
lmao that guy was ready to throw down
Stick up for your boy. That’s what real fans do!
Russ Stans are outchea
Yeah man, leave Russ alone.
Leave russ alone 😤
Kings fans are ride or die with anyone who plays with intensity and effort. Right now Russ is the only one in the rotation who brings it.
FREE KEON!!
kings fans are the best they deserve a competent team
OP out here refusing to properly pluralize mascots
That has to be so embarrassing for Westbrook
Mans rly said “with yo dumbass” and sat back down haha
