[Highlight] Russell Westbrook having some words with a Lakers fan, and the security escort the fan out
1 guess on what nickname this fan called him
Brick from the west
For someone who is so athletic, plays with such an edge, and isn’t afraid to bark in other players faces, Westbrick sure does have a soft underbelly
Well the athleticism left him and now he’s just a pretty low IQ player
he’s always been low IQ
He used to be low IQ
He still is, but he used to be too
But but .. something triple double
He sure is. Literal definition of can dish it but can’t take it.
The funniest thing is when Westbrook literally replied to Skip on Twitter saying YOOO WATCH YOUR MOUTH DON’T YOU CALL ME WESTBRICK
Keep in mind that LeBron has ignored Skip entirely for his entire career lmao
It’s always so hilarious to me that LeBron has really never acknowledged Skip.
Why would he, I remember he said a then 52 Year old Jordan could beat LeBron 1V1 in 2015 , how do you take someone like that seriously?
That’s why I don’t take most hardcore MJ fans seriously either. I think like what 37 percent said he could and Skip went with it.
Yeah if the poll was more lopsided like 90-10 then Skip wouldn’t have had a leg to stand on but the smooth brained 37% gave him enough daylight to say that heinous shit.
It’s my favorite thing about him
Makes me like LeBron more
I don’t understand how an 18 year vet, MVP, All-Time triple double leader and multi time All-Star/ All-NBA can be so soft. Who cares about that dumb nick name?
If I’m remembering correctly it’s mostly because kids call his kids Westbrick at school.
The kids should learn to respond with “I’m rich and my dad’s in the NBA”
Probably go to school at private schools with kids richer than him
Probably not. He’s made over $350 million just in NBA salary not including all his endorsements and businesses. He’s pretty damn rich
I don’t think you understand the private school crowd lol.
Yeah theres always a richer family
With private school kids especially in LA that’s essentially mid tier and absolutely nothing to brag about. His kid probably gets bullied
It hurts a lot because he can’t shoot and too late into his career to do anything about it bcuz it would mean changing at a much slower pace which isnt what he is paid for.
someone make an early offseason post with a graph on who has the most fans thrown out in their careers
It’s gotta be my glorious king MWP. Got it all done in a lump sum
lmao
Efficient. Take that for data.
He’s the Oprah of fan ejections
I genuinely don’t understand how that merits an ejection from your seat. It’s not cursing at the guy, it’s not talking about his family, etc.
Yeah it’s bullshit. Fans should be allowed to heckle, especially the opposing team, it’s part of the product. He should at least have to keep his mouth shut himself, being allowed to talk down to paying customers and get them ejected isn’t right.
does it rhyme with best pick?
We the best music?
You could build a house with them
His full legal name
Russell Westbrick Westbrook
Parents must have been clairvoyant.
A fine piece of building material not produced in the Eastern hemisphere
What player has gotten the most amount of fans ejected ?
Westbrook would cry himself to sleep every night if he played in front of an European audience
Europeans would be saying some racist shit
And throwing bananas. That’s not even crazy ultras doing this kind of stuff either.
Man United fans used to sing a song about their own Korean player eating dogs. European fans are insane man
They’re not insane, it’s just that that European football culture (and their culture at large) has historically provided cover for casual racism, dressing it up as rivalry and humor. When institutions and fan communities fail to challenge that behavior, it becomes self-perpetuating and socially reinforced.
If American sports fans could scream racial slurs and racist chants all game with zero consequences they’d be doing it too. The difference is open racism like that is less tolerated in America than Europe.
Absolutely. What are this dumbass comments saying, almost in an admiring tone: “Man, those European fans are next level” like no bro they are just fucking racist.
I think it’s because of all the fucked history of European countries. They’re always referencing people by stereotypes.
Like oh you French people and your stereotypes tee hee, oh you Dutch are so blunt, Germans are so blah blah, etc. That’s all fine I guess since your countries are neighbors, but like they don’t realize it’s not okay to say to other ethnicities or countries that are culturally different.
Like my friend who just got back from a semester abroad in Japan was saying that pretty much all the Europeans in their transfer student club said horribly racist, sexist, shitty things, not realizing it wasn’t okay.
It’s also a different kind of racism when it’s about countries/people that were colonized and oppressed by European countries in the past. Theres a second level of looking down on Asians and Africans compared to Europeans when they make those racist jokes.
Insane. Park Ji-Sung was United’s hardest worker player in his time aside of Rooney, and his chant was this shitty, racist one that basically was nothing but drunken chant against Liverpool.
Didn’t they do that to the members of their own team?
We usually ban those people from arenas for lifetime. I know it happens more often than we would like to, but at least what happened in my country was punished accordingly.
Comment directly below you brought up him shooting people for no reason so you’re not too far off
Think it’s cause he’s American.
Yeah
So do Utahns
Imagine if he’d played in the 70s/80s
Yeh out right racism allowed by euro fans is so cool
Whys it always westbrook
He soft
For a dude named Westbrick its kinda ironic how soft he is.
You’re about to get thrown out buddy
Josh giddy gets called a pedo, and no one gets thrown out lol. But westbrick is too far… so soft.
Softer than charmin
Good question
Bro hes such a bitch ass i bet he got mad at Westbrick again
All he needed to do was just self deprecate about it a few times and it would’ve gone away imo
Instead he’s helped inflamed it into this big thing
Have u seen the guy one of the least self aware people he hasnt change his playstyle or personality in 15 years he would never do this
And people call KD soft and shit when hes always been more aware and hes not this stupid
Smile, fake-clap, and guess how much more money he’s making versus the average heckler - that’s all he has to fo.
interesting that the other fans reacted positively to the escorting out. bro must have said some egregious stuff
–Make Westbrook a Laker again! –you are banned, sir
“Other fans”. Two people on the first row.
“The whole stadium stood to applaud sir Westbrook for his decisive leadership”
softbrook
Softbrick
Limpbrick
Unless a fan is using obscene or racist language, they should be able to talk some shit to the players without getting kicked out.
Odds are he called him Westbrick and he got his feelings hurt … again.
He’s such a joke.
I wonder what the fan must’ve said that made the other fans clap and try to dap up Russ after he was escorted out.
Yeah all the other fans being so on board with a player the fan base doesn’t like getting someone kicked out makes me feel like it was more than saying Westbrick
All the other fans? Lol it was one star struck glazer and somebody’s wife lol you can literally hear the rest of the crowd booing his soft ass
Lmfao reddit has negative social IQ to be upvoting this comment.
It was one dude dapping him up then a bunch of followers trying to touch Russ too. Clapping can mean anything, from positive to negative.
Wow 2 lakers fans, defending a courtside laker fans ejection. Talk about glazing
Lmao dude in his feelings again
Dude just doesn’t get that giving these people attention would make haters do it more lol
is Westbrook leading the league for the most fans escorted out of the arena?
People are gonna start doing it for the camera time. I get his perspective but you can’t cure stupid on your own.
Westbrick is so soft lmao
Westbrick must be so salty both LA teams dont want him. Imagine being MVP and your hometown dont want you. Westbrick can build communities with the amount of bricks he’s laid in LA.
It’s always Russ getting people kicked out… smh bro
dude has kicked out a stadiums worth of people at this point.
Why do they let him kick people out
IF they called him Westbrick and he got them kicked out he’s weak AF.
IF they said something racist or generally vile they deserve the boot and the ban.
We all know it wasn’t anything racist. Guaranteed it was a fan being obnoxious while throwing out “Westbrick”. Russ has to be the most sensitive player of all time.
⬅️🧱
Mods ban this guy he’s threatening my family and putting dirt in my name - Westbrook
Not gonna lie, it does make me sad to see how nobody seems to remember how great he was at UCLA. I guess it’s a bigass city and a lot of folks don’t really follow both levels of hoops.
I mean I think a better case could be made about Kevin Love skills being forgotten. Relative to other players I actually think most fans remember the heights Russell had due to how explosive he was as a player.
Gotta remember UCLA and USC is more even when ur comes to fandom. Most people are Laker fans, I think I know 1 Clipper fan in real life. What he did when he played for us was criminal.
And I don’t want to hear “but LeBron” “but the team.” He sucked. Watch the tape

Steve Alford
Laker fans are casuals not surprised
Biggest fanbase in basketball are all casuals? You sound stupid
Well that was 19 years ago
Softest athlete possibly ever
How can you be thrown out for saying Westbrick, this shit makes no sense. Do they refund the fans money? I can’t think of another player as soft as Westbrook, he’s had like 5 fans ejected for calling him Westbrick.
It’s beyond bizarre. Like, is it in the “terms of service” for the ticket that you can’t say anything that upsets a player? This whole thing is ridiculous.
Has any other player gotten as many courtside fans kicked out?
I still don’t get why players don’t just 100 percent ignore fans. If a player ignores them, the fan will always have a feeling that they are in an unaccessible universe they can’t cross into. Yet the moment the player acknowledges them, the fan has already won.
you know they are human right? if athletes could “just 100 percent ignore fans” then there would be no such thing as home court/field advantage lmao
Russ tradition
considering the reaction of the people around that fan, i’m guessing it’s not a simple insult
Why does this guy get triggered so easily
How many people has he gotten kicked out now?
According to chatgp there have been 8 different incidents, though we know 2 of those were for racist/popcorn dumping.
Westbrick
Starting PG on the NBA “All Crybaby” first team.
Laker fans are such weirdos. Good on russ for taking the trash out
Literally no one knows what he said but 80% of the comments are. They said Westbrick and he’s soft. Everyone is just happy believing whatever they want. Even given no evidence.
I hate fans coming to games thinking they can say and do whatever they want, But…… Westbrick being what gets people kicked out is soooooo soft lmao
look at this man-baby
Man i hate westbrook, this is why nobody can stand him and no team wants him for more than a season or 2. Not worth the headache. awful attitude.
Thats your takeaway? Lmao
Should’ve worn a blue wig and called Westbrook by his government name.
Softest dude in the league
Im fine with this. We dont know what was said, but people really like to give fans a pass just because they dont like the player. You can heckle and not be disrespectful wheter you think its soft or not buying a ticket doesnt give you free reign to do or say whatever
Some real intellects in the comments here LOL
Is this dude still getting people removed for calling him brick LMAO
Russ is a little bitch bro always doing that
Classic Westbrick move
Dude has some really thin skin.
Kicking fans out for trash talking is so soft and lame man unless they were saying some insane stuff
Westbrook hasnt learned to ignore the fans after all these years. Sensitive petty mf.
Russ didnt even have the guy kicked out just had words with him. Wtf are yall crying about here
the think pieces know they’ll get kicked out if they was in the same shoes, talk shit all day & would get dealt with accordingly🤣 & plus they have to feel justified to hate russ.. nun new in the hive mind sub
Fr bunch of softies in here
NBA fans are manchildren and this subreddit is full of them, what makes you think you can just insult people you don’t know and get away with it?
Charmin soft. Getting heckled by an opposing arena is part of the job.
Not it isn’t, he’s not getting boo’ed, he’s getting personally insulted by a fan who completely shrunk after being confronted, talk your shit, but don’t expect 0 consequences
Russ is on the Kings?
These fans talk reckless. But Something that fan said triggered Russ.
Westbrick be one of the biggest bitches in the NBA always gets in a fans face like his about to do something hasn’t done shit to no one in that long ass do nothing career
is there any player who has done this more than Russ
How many times has he had an altercation with fans and then he getting them kicked out
They call him Brook West or what
Wouldn’t be a Lakers game featuring Westbrook if it didn’t really in a fan ejection after some choice wordplay
Westbrick HOF nickname and it genuinely gets to him
A bunch of people in their feelings about Russ lol. Being upset about someone standing up for themselves is beyond soft.
This league is so soft now.
He’s such an easy target lol. He can’t help but get his feelings hurt, poor guy
This happens far too often with this guy.
Russ loves telling on fans.
Sensitive ass pansy.
Westbrook never played Call of Duty and it shows.
Only thing this brick guy does efficiently is get fans kicked out
WESTBRICK WESTBRICK WESTBRICK WESTBRICK WESTBRICK WESTBRICK WESTBRICK WESTBRICK
I just think of him as Westbrick now. He should embrace it
Russ can dish it but can’t take it
Probably the least cool dude in the nba. Say one thing to the man you’re getting kicked out.
kicking him out with 1:52 left to play in the 4th. doing him a favor to beat the traffic in a blowout.
WestBrick has the thinnest skin ever and the biggest crybaby in NBA
Baby boy
Man this is the same fucking bum that was talking shit to the LA crowd last time he won there. Stop letting his soft ass eject LAKERS fans. We call you BRICK to a reason clown
He’s one of those prop foam bricks
This dude is such a crybaby. This is monthly at this point
How fans has Westbrook ejected in his career? Is he leading the stats in that category?
Crazy how people are blaming Westbrook for getting a fan kicked out over for calling him Westbrick
Not even saying that’s what happened but clearly that’s the narrative itt. You know he’s gonna get big feelings and complain if that happens but it’s in LA if a fan is really getting kicked out for that it’s completely on the Lakers for letting that happen. Teams should stand up for fans that pay money for floor seats if they’re just doing some heckling, that’s a big appeal of sitting courtside
We should have a L2M report for fan ejections. Release the audio of what they said so we can really know what happens ik they’re recording everything it’s a coward move to move past it so quickly this should be at least a 10 minute segment on sportscenter
I mean for fans of 17 titles the Laker fans care more of what a minimum player is doing as I don’t see this amount of volume for other players. I mean if the Kings were actually winning then maybe you could say something but a point guard in year 18 on a losing franchise makes Laker fans seem petty
Westbrick has been getting folks ejected since the bubble ended though.
Wholy cow. That looks like a gathering of… sorts.
Imagine kicking out your own paying fans because they chirp an opposing player…. isnt that why home court advantage exists? This league has gotten so damn soft…..
why is wesybrick such a baby back bitch
Seems like he’s always explaining himself to fans in the crowd. He’s actually damn good on the Kings.
Lol
I don’t get the fun out of going to a game and trying to get players to hate you.
Yall realize this is at least the 5th time Westbotch has had fans ejected for a fan heckling him that DIDNT include racist comments ?
On a scale, does he lean closer to standing on business or a petulant baby?
Russ beefing with hecklers, what’s new. Seriously tho, at this point he needs to have a thicker skin lol
Westbrook is so thin skinned without basketball dude would Be in prison getting his booty taken
DeKaylin Westbrook
He has to have the record for most fans kicked out of a game for calling him names.
Unless it’s something genuinely demonic, just blot it out. You’re a pro player. Westbrick shouldnt even bother him but it does and god forbid a whole arena chants that with him on the line
Westbrick a Karen.
Why you always complaining Westbrick
I don’t get why players are also security directors?
Westbrick so damn soft
God I hate Russell Westbrook. By far the softest little crybaby in the league it’s pathetic
I like you Russ - but that’s soft.
