Russell Westbrook has popcorn poured all over him and he goes off a bit
These fans way too comfortable.
This sub promotes this bullshit with how they talk about players like they’re not human
Give every player one “malice at the palace” freebie and see what happens.
Rocket games will have zero attendance so long as Steven Adam’s is healthy
You want them to run up into the stands, break the announcers back, and attack the wrong person?
NBA fan culture is really rotten. I don’t see it with the nfl or other leagues idk what the deal is. Just constant hate and negativity.
Soccer is 100x more toxic lol
Soccer’s worse with fan to fan hate and club to club hate, but NBA fans shit on the players like nothing I’ve ever seen.
It used to be more funny or light headed chirping from fans but now it’s just offensive and racist. It was common knowledge you leave family, religion, race, and politics out when chirping players but now it’s more hateful and angry.
No way, it used to be even nastier. The most heinous shit I’ve ever heard in my life was yelled from the stands back in the 90s. And I remember even then it was talked about how it used to be worse before that. I went to a ton of games in the 00s, and there was a type of fan attendee behavior then that would not be tolerated at all any more.
Thats because now the fans are betting money on the players and feel like they are owed something… All of the gambling was a huge mistake.
Most people on this sub baby players like they’re one step between make a wish kids and poor little boys just trying their best. Like you can have the thinnest skin, be a terrible person, play no defense, and still have a Legion of guys defending you.
Well Luka gets that treatment, yes. We all know why.
no, shit talking here is in no way on the level of what that guy did.
but i agree it goes too far here too
pretty big difference between words and pouring sht on others
You’re responding to something I never said
How would you describe what you said then lmao You ascribed the action to the words in subreddits
It was especially bad once they let everyone back in arenas after COVID. 2021 Playoffs were full of shit like this.
I’ve been saying every player should have one Get Out Of Jail Free Card to go into the stands and beat one fans ass in their career. Time to keep these fans honest
I love that Charles Barkley threw a guy through a bar window for throwing a drink in his face.
No athlete deserves to have food and things thrown at them…except maybe Deshaun Watson
There definitely more than just Deshaun. He just gets more attention because of the contract.

Reading comprehension is a pain in the ass huh
Keep that energy consistent for Tucker, Roethlisberger, and the rest of them too.
I’m throwing the whole fridge at Watson
What about Karl Malone
Or miles bridges
Miles bridges?
Solomon Hill
Off-season really has people just post the most random junk.
At some point, there was like 5-6 back-to-back LeBron posts today, if you sort by new.
It’s definitely the offseason rn.
And when there’s no Lebron posts, all the redditors should be asking, ‘Where’s Lebron?’
Klutch PR team puts in OT
Dawg days….
Russ should get 60 seconds alone in a room… no consequences. Ridiculous…
Ugh, it had to be in Philly.
That angry adrenaline made him say fuck going to the back
Fans were acting real dumb this whole playoff series. They forgot what real life was after quarantine.
That’s actually it. Same reason we had more sports riots after covid too.
Goes off a bit really undersells it lol
Pretty fair?
Valid crash out
From what I know of Russ I really doubt he was gonna sock the dude but what he did deserves it
Except he just kinda took his anger out on security… And security was very tight for good reason. It was actually a mini wrestle brawl against 3-4 security guards is what it was.
Probably went like “I’m gonna get him let me go” and security was “please don’t let us handle it it’s not worth it man please please please”
Normal Philadelphia fan antics.
considering it was a sixers home game it was most likely a knicks fan
If this were the 80s the fan would’ve spit on him and instead of flipping out in the tunnel Westbrook would’ve punched him. and both would’ve left satisfied
Comment section is showing me how many people here have zero respect for these athletes as people.
People think that because they bought a ticket they are entitled to do whatever they want they want or say whatever they want.
Did they get the guy?
yeah, season ticket holder so a total idiot, tickets revoked no refund, banned indefinitely from the arena, hopefully no other arena lets him in either
this was all back in 2021 its ancient history dont upvote the OP necroposting this shit
Disrespect fools

Sports betting has made everything even worse now. Fans will crash out on players because they were one assist short or some shit.
I look out the window and what do I see
This is hilarious I’m sorry lol it’s popcorn bruh it’s popcorn
Ankle looked fine after the popcorn attack
Really interesting to see the weirdos who’ve formed para-social relationships with multi-millionaires who wouldn’t know them from a fart in a room
That’s way too upset over popcorn…. and security gets the worst of it.
Ankle looked just fine lol
He rolled his ankle. It probably hurts to walk and may have limited motion. You don’t want further injury.
Have you ever rolled your ankle?
Jesus, you’re a little slow huh.
The initial immediate reaction like someone was pissing on him lmaooo
overreaction just a little popcorn 🍿
Crazy how he always lets the fans affect him, so they keep doing it…idiot
Well when fans throw shit at you, it’s understandable.
Of course it’s understandable (and fans that throw shit have to be punished accordingly) but he’s a professional and has to be smarter about things. The more you are rattled by their antics the worse the antics get.
Fuck this shit making one person have to be more in control of themselves than the other people is fucking asinine. It’s stupid and it’s why we have fucking people like Trump do whatever the fuck they want because everybody else is too busy trying to control themselves to actually stop the fucking problems that we fucking have no fuck the reaction get the person that starts the reaction. They’re the fucking problem
I’m pretty 99.999% of people would be quite angry if they had been injured at work and then someone dumped popcorn on them while they were trying to get medical attention.
What’s his plan here? Jump in the stands and beat up someone who threw popcorn at him? He has no composure and it’s why jabroni fans can get in his head by calling him Westbrick lol
I mean I understand that as professional athlete you gotta keep a level of composure so you avoid letting stuff getting at you, but you add the fact that he was pissed about being injured plus someone straight up disrespecting him by throwing stuff ?
He’s still a bloke that has his limits regardless of if he’s tolerating less than others
All he needs to do is tell security like he normally does when he wants a fan kicked out
It would’ve been the more rational stuff to do but like I said, he was surely pissed off already and that was just the nail in the coffin
Idk man I wouldn’t be too pleased to get food thrown at me mid game but yeah he’s been known to be letting stuff go under his skin real fast
Dipshit
prob the most butt hurt person in all the nba…never was able to take any kind of criticism
I don’t think dumping food on him is a form a criticism. That’s just being an asshole.
No..i agree w that. But the amnt he talks shit about the fans and to the fans im not shocked it happened. Nor am I talking about just this instance
I think, buddy got the wrong side around the fans talk so much shit that he reacts to it and now you’re blaming him for the reaction. Fuck the fans.
LMAO these dudes are paid MILLIONS to play basketball …if he cant take the fans talking shit to him (just like he does to them) then maybe its time to hang it up….hes outta the league most likely this year anyway so good luck in italy lol
I don’t give a fuck how much money they’re paying. Nobody deserves to be treated like they are by pieces of shit like you cause it. Honestly, the way you react here you probably one of the ones that fucking does it.
lmfao!!! oh shit bro you good? Is this russell westbrick himself >> lmfao1!!

ohhh wow im so hurt by this ..man im going to rethink my life now! lmao1!!!!!
He’s not talking about this particular instance/video. Seems to be a general comment.
