During the Denver Nuggets’ 134-121 victory over the Detroit Pistons this past weekend, tensions flared between Nuggets star Russell Westbrook and Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart. The heated altercation became even more intense after a video and leaked audio surfaced, showing Westbrook and Stewart trash-talking during the game.
The exchange began with Westbrook calling Stewart “Dumba**, dumba**!” as the two players battled it out on the court. Stewart didn’t back down from the verbal jabs, immediately firing back with a fierce response. “I’ll beat the f**k out of you. B*tch a**n****,” Stewart said.
In typical Westbrook fashion, the fiery veteran did not shy away from the challenge. Instead, he welcomed Stewart’s threat with some fierce words. “Come on. I want all that!” Russ said.
