(NSFW) Reggie Jackson says harsh words to heckler
By Ian O'Brien
Reggie Jackson said some words to an Oklahoma City Thunder fan that cannot be repeated in civil places.
Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson clearly is not on good terms with the Oklahoma City Thunder, his former team. He can be seen in this video responding to hecklers in Oklahoma City, as he returned there for the first time since the trade on Friday. Jackson did not have kind words to say in his response, and the language he used is not for the faint of heart.
Jackson was traded by the Thunder last season, and Thunder stars Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant did not have anything positive to say about him afterward. They pointed out that he did not want to be on the team, which can be proven by his desire to earn starting minutes.
Jackson was not able to earn consistent playing time since Westbrook is one of the elite point guards in the NBA. The beef between Jackson and the Thunder continued into the build-up to this game. Westbrook responded with “Who?” after being asked about his former teammate. Durant joined in on the ribbing of Jackson by saying that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is the second-best player on the Pistons after pointing out that Andre Drummond is obviously the best player on the Pistons’ roster.
Durant and Westbrook got the last laugh in this feud since the Thunder came away with a convincing 103-87 victory over the Pistons in front of their home crowd. Jackson walked away with even less dignity after he was caught on camera saying rude words to the heckling Thunder fan. Durant and Westbrook also gained the upper hand by delivering a win against their bitter ex-teammate.
