Russell Westbrook yells ‘F*** you’ at heckler (Video)

Russell Westbrook had enough of one heckler on Saturday night and he let them have it
Saturday night the Oklahoma City Thunder came within one game of advancing to the next round of the NBA Playoffs, defeating the Dallas Mavericks. But still, despite the win, things were not all rosy for the Thunder, especially Russell Westbrook.
In the second half on Saturday evening, Russ was really hearing it from one of the fans in Dallas. Hecklers are common at all sporting events, but sometimes an athlete just has enough and needs to fire back a little bit.
Well, that’s exactly what Westbrook did on Saturday, telling the fan what he thought of him/her.
Sometimes you just reach that breaking point and you lash out a little bit. Is this something that Westbrook should have done? No, probably not, but every human being has said breaking point. Being one of the biggest stars in the NBA, he hears it all over the place throughout the season. But eventually, it just either becomes too much, or even worse, the fan says something they probably shouldn’t.
Still, Russ should just take a deep breath and relish in the fact that he and the Thunder will be moving on soon more than likely and that fan will be home waiting for the Mavericks’ next season.
