Russell Westbrook is a lightning rod for many things. You know the list. His game. His fashion. His defiance. His media interactions. His fan interactions.
But being a lightning rod doesn’t make you automatically guilty of whatever the charge, and that’s the case when Westbrook had an altercation with Utah Jazz fans Monday night.
The Thunder beat Utah 98-89, but before the game was even over, a video circulated of Westbrook, on the Thunder bench, yelling at a couple and using an expletive.
It’s not the first time.
