Miami Heat Fan Booted After Stirring Up Trouble With Clippers' Russell Westbrook
Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook continues to beef with hecklers. Westbrook's got a knack for watching fans get kicked out of games, and he saw another get the boot during Sunday's game (Jan. 28) against the Miami Heat. Several feet behind the Clippers bench, one South Beach fan tried getting under Westbrook's skin but was instead shown the door after causing a scene.
Footage surfaced of Westbrook trading verbal jabs with the Heat fan, attending the game at Kaseya Center with his son.

Westbrook and teammate Terance Mann got irate after the Miami fan shouted, "I paid for these seats, boy," to Westbrook.
WATCH:
Among NBA stars willing to confront hecklers, Westbrook remains one of the few guys willing to move mountains to get rowdy fans booted from a game.
The willingness to engage with hecklers has also opened up Westbrook to be challenged. On one occasion in January, Westbrook asked a heckler in Minnesota to step up to the nine-time All-Star, face-to-face. The Timberwolves fan delivered and Westbrook backed off.
Westbrook and the Clippers still got the job done on their trip to South Beach, defeating the Heat, 103-95.
Did the fan deserve to get the boot? Let us know your thoughts: alejandro.avila@outkick.com.
