Since NBA players were allowed to invite family members and close friends into the bubble following the conclusion of the first round, the spectator section at games has gotten pretty lively. Maybe you were wondering when we would get our first altercation between a player and an opponent’s relative.
Well, here comes Russell Westbrook. In the Houston Rockets’ season-ending Game 5 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, he exchanged words with Rajon Rondo’s brother, William, which resulted in security asking Rondo to leave the game.
It’s sort of a surreal situation, but then again, par for the course given how unusual everything else has been recently.
We'll note, Westbrook finished with 10 points on 4-of-13 shooting in a 23-point loss for the Rockets. Still, Russ is going to be Russ, so it comes as little surprise that he was jawing until the end.
LeBron... just laughed at him. Literally. That’s scorched earth.
