Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook got into an verbal altercation with a fan in Utah on Monday and used profanity in the incident with the heckler.
The guy’s name is Shane Kiesel.
Salt Lake City NBC 5 reporter Jeremiah Jensen spoke to the fan in question following Monday’s game. Jazz fan Shane Keisel said he and Westbrook were originally “having fun,” prior to Westbrook’s expletives toward the stands.
“Me and him, we and him were actually having fun to be honest,” Keisel said. “And then it turned into not safe for work … I never said a single swear word to him, not one. Initially, I was like, ‘Oh, I’m talking with Westbrook, the guy is one of the greats. He’s also classless.”

Now we’ve found this dude might not be the greatest guy, and worst of all, he’s all about that MAGA life.
Check out the racist tweets below:
I think that explains it all.
A man can take only so much, can’t blame Russ for unleashing his anger on this racist troll.
Oh by the way, looks like Shane Kiesel deleted his twitter account. Considering the process is permanent, it does make you wonder what else was on his Twitter.
