- NBA. LeBron James says that 'retirement' is coming soon: 'I don't have much time left'
- NBA. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook could be reuniting next season in OKC, per report
The Los Angeles Clippers continue to solidify their place in the playoffs. Following Sunday's victory over the struggling Hornets, which was 130-118, they secured the fourth seed in the Western Conference. The game star was Paul George, who scored 41 points, while Ivica Zubac achieved a double-double with 12 rebounds and 24 points.
Russell Westbrook, known for his resilience, had a solid performance off the bench, scoring 11 points, five rebounds, and four assists. However, before the game, he faced a challenging situation, getting into an altercation with a Hornets fan who had been heckling him from the stands.
Russ confronted the fan and exchanged words with him. An arena security guard observed the incident to prevent things from escalating out of control, as Westbrook has been involved in such altercations frequently.
It is heard that the former MVP said the following to the fan who had been heckling him:
I got kids. Don't disrespect my name, Do you understand me? I don't give a f-ck!"
It is a constant for Russell Westbrook
Back in February, Russ got into an argument with a Miami Heat fan at Kaseya Center in the middle of the game. The fan heckled the point guard, and the exchange heated up. The heckler was ejected from the arena after arguing with Russ.
Westbrook got into another argument with a Lakers fan in November, saying in the post-game presser that "it's unfortunate they think they can get away with saying anything. Personally, I won't allow it,' meaning that he will continue to clap back at hecklers.
