Clippers point guard Russell Westbrook told a Hornets fan, 'Don't disrespect my name.' The former NBA MVP has been fighting that battle since his Lakers days.
Russell Westbrook does not like it when his name is disrespected. The Clippers point guard has made himself perfectly clear on the matter. Perhaps opposing fans just haven't been paying attention. Or, much more likely, they have and are using that information in an attempt to get inside the former league MVP's head. During halftime of the Clippers' game in Charlotte on Sunday, Westbrook confronted a man sitting near courtside wearing a Hornets jersey and a light-blue balloon hat.
Charlotte reporter Jeremy Grandison tweeted a video of Westbrook giving the man a tongue-lashing . “I got kids, don’t disrespect my name,' Westbrook can be heard telling the fan, who Grandison reported had been 'chirping' at the player during the first half. Westbrook contributed 11 points, five rebounds and four assists in 20 minutes off the bench during the Clippers' 130-118 win over the Hornets.
