Russell Westbrook and the Wizards were losing big to the Philadelphia 76ers early in the fourth quarter when Westbrook twisted his right ankle. It was bad enough he was forced to leave the game. Then as he was being helped to the locker room, Westbrook had popcorn dumped on him from the stands above.
Russ reacted to the popcorn dumping following the game.
“To be completely honest man, this (expletive) is getting out of hand, especially for me,” Westbrook said afterwards. “The amount of disrespect, the amount of fans just doing whatever the (expletive) they want to do, it’s just out of pocket.

This is what you have to do, drop the hammer on anyone who pulls crap like this during a game.
Now you just have to worry about all the people at games who don’t have season tickets to be taken away.
