Toronto Raptors fans, you can essentially blame this fan for what happened on Friday night.
Ahead of the Raptors and Lakers game on Friday, Russell Westbrook was filmed getting into an argument with a Toronto man who seemed very frightend that he was being confronted. In a new video filmed by an unidentified Toronto man, Westbrook can be heard getting into it with the critic.
“I ain’t a little kid, don’t play with me,” said Westbrook in the clip, which was assumedly filmed on Thursday night.
It’s not clear what the person said to provoke the reaction from Westbrook, but in the clip the man later said he “fucks with” Westbrook and he “just want you to play better.”
As he began to leave the scene, the man yelled, “Russell, you’re a goof, bud.”

With the Lakers facing defeat in the final seconds of the fourth quarter of Friday night’s matchup against the Toronto Raptors, Westbrook forced a turnover and proceeded to race down the court, stop just behind the 3-point line, and knock down a double-pump, contested 3-pointer with less than a second left to send the game to overtime.
Westbrook finished with 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the Lakers victory.
