Russell Westbrook Gets Into It With A Fan Wearing A Balloon Hat In An All-Time Scene

Russell Westbrook never shies away from jawing with fans, but in recent years, has shown that he really does not know when to pick his battles. His inability to assess a situation was on full display during the Clippers' trip to Charlotte on Sunday.

While getting some shots up before the game, Westbrook clearly heard something from a fan that he did not appreciate. Naturally, he made his way over to the fan to share some words, despite the fact that the fan was wearing a full-on balloon hat.

Westbrook has a net worth of well over $300 million, picking a fight with someone with balloons attached to their head is probably a situation he shouldn't engage in, no matter what the fan may have shouted in his direction.

In the clip you can hear Westbrook say, "don't disrespect my name" and "I don't give a fu-k" after the fan responded.

On the one hand, you can understand Westbrook and any other professional athlete taking a bit of offense when a fan shouts some obscene statement at them. On the other hand, as a professional athlete making millions of dollars, Westbrook should have thicker skin around fans who paid their hard-earned money to get into the game. 

Given that Westbrook told the fan not to "disrespect my name," there is a good chance the fan simply shouted "Westbrick" in his direction. 

This isn't the first time nor will it be the last time we see Westbrook go at it with fans.

In February, Westbrook and some of his Clippers teammates went back and forth with a fan who shouted "I paid for these seats, boy." That fan was eventually escorted out of his seats. Less than a month prior, Westbrook challenged a heckler who got into his face during a road game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
