Russell Westbrook catches a lot of criticism from the media. Some of it is fair, some of it is not, and some of it skirts the edges, if not crosses the line completely, of what some might view as out-and-out slander.
Case in point, a recent story about Westbrook’s run-in with a Utah Jazz fan as he was exiting the floor after game 6. The story is based on an interview KSL TV’s Caitlin Burchill did with the fan involved in the incident, Chad Linebaugh.
The story came to my attention by way of a comment.
