In the video Westbrook could be heard saying that he was going to fuck up the fan and his wife.
Things get heated between Russell Westbrook and Utah Jazz fans again. “I’ll f*ck you up. You and your wife,” he says. Not sure what these fans said to him, but he also had issues with Jazz fans during the postseason. pic.twitter.com/LquwRmLVNy

Shane Keisel, the fan, told me that he said he told Russ, “Ice those knees up! Ice those knees up!” Keisel said Russ responded that it was heat. According to Keisel, he then told Russ, “You’re going to need it.”

Apparently Twitter dug up old tweets from the fan where he called Westbrook a “classless piece of shit” in the past.
